Dear Wines Families,

After a spring-like winter, I guess we should have expected for summer to arrive this week! Hope you are enjoying the beautiful weather. With the weather changing, please make sure kids still come to school prepared for anything. Boots are still important at this time of year because we will have mud around for quite a while. In addition, the weather changes so quickly that warm morning weather can wind up being hats and gloves weather by lunch recess. I’d rather kids have too many clothes than not enough.

With that said, when kids get warm, they tend to take things off and leave them on the playground. As a result, our Lost and Found is again bursting at the seams. We will make another charity donation from our Lost and Found during Spring Break, so please come have a look before then.

Your child’s report card will be sent home in his/her backpack on Monday, March 19^th.

I know many parents have asked me about the Technology Bond vote that is taking place on May 8^th. If you would like more information about the Bond, there are many opportunities. In our office right next to Robin, there is an informational binder and there are also pamphlets in our office. In addition, on Thursday April 12^th, members of the Superintendent’s cabinet will be speaking at our PTO meeting about the Bond. The meeting starts at 7:00. There is also a public meeting taking place at Pioneer High School on Monday, April 16^th at 6:30 PM. I encourage everyone to learn as much as you can about this bond.

Attached to today’s email is the most recent Art Room Newsletter from Mrs. Hendrick. Please also see below the information about the Wines Wahoo that is taking place next Friday!

Wines Wahoo - Friday, March 23rd, 2012 from 6:30 - 8:30 @ Forsythe Middle School

Are you enjoying this balmy weather?  Just a reminder about the upcoming Wines Wahoo and a plea for additional volunteers to make the event a success.  

The Wines Wahoo is a luau-themed, fun, family event for all Wines students, their parents and younger siblings. The Wahoo includes music provided by a kid friendly DJ, fun activities in the gym, face painting, and tattoos. There will be pizza, snacks and beverages for sale.  A parent or other adult over the age of 18 must accompany each Wines student. Children over 5th grade will not be admitted to the event. Younger siblings are, however, invited to participate.  There is a suggested donation of $5 per family that helps to cover the cost of the DJ and decorations. There is also a nominal fee for the food. 

Volunteers Needed!!  We still need about 25 more volunteers to help with set-up, admissions, refreshments, pictures, gym monitoring and clean-up.  

Sign up here!   It's easy -- Just enter your contact information and then select an activity.
