Weekly Blog 11/28

Dear Wines Families,

Attached to today’s email is the November Wines Times newsletter. As always, there is lots of important information in theTimes, so please have a look. I want to highlight one item in the Wines Times for families of 2nd-5th graders. Our Science Olympiad registration is beginning. In the Wines Times there is information about the various opportunities. In addition, a paper copy of the information and registration is coming home today as well. I’ve also attached this information (in Word and PDF) to today's email. This year, you can register for Science Olympiad online at: http://winespto.org/ScienceOlympiad/scienceRegistration.html.


A couple of other important items did not make the Wines Times. Please see below.

Canned Food Drive
Student Council is working with Food Gatherers on a holiday canned food drive.  We will be collecting all types of non-perishable food donations from Friday, November 30 until Wednesday, December 19. Students can bring in their food donations to their classrooms or put hem directly into the bins provided by Food Gatherers.  These bins will be stationed at 3 locations around the school building. Student Council thanks you for support!
