Weekly Blog 12/11


Dear Wines Families.

As usual for this time of year, there are lots of important announcements today:

Still Looking for Used (or new…) Playground Balls
We are still collecting any used (or new) playground balls. If you have extra basketballs, soccer balls, or other playground type balls at home that your children don’t use anymore, there is a collection bin in the front hallway near the display case.

Science Olympiad 2014 Registration
It is time to register for Science Olympiad 2014!!! Please register by January 6th at: http://winespto.org/ScienceOlympiad/index.html. Attached to today's email was an informational document about Olympiad.

Do you have questions about Science Olympiad? Do you want to learn more? What does a coach do? Who can participate?  Get all your questions answered at an informational meeting on Thursday, Dec 12 from 6:00-7:30 PM in the Wines Multi-Purpose Room.

If you have any question, please contact David Creen  David.creen@benefitfocus.com or Rhonda McCammon rmccamm@umich.edu.

Coat Drive
Our Coat Drive continues to be a great success. As of last week we had collected 17 girls coats, 11 boys coats, 12 women’s coats, 3 men’s coats, 3 pairs of boots, and 3 pairs of snow pants. Since then, the bin has filled up again so the numbers have increased! Thank you Wines and Reinhart! The drive will run through next week. If possible, please wash your used coats.

Food Drive
Our Student Council/Food Gatherers Food Drive continues through next week as well. There are bins located at all of our entrances.

Winter Break ThinkStretch Opportunity
Again this winter break, we have teamed with ThinkStretch to give kids a bit of academic work during vacation to prevent the winter “Brain Freeze.” For most of us, the next few weeks are incredibly busy! But there are often times when the kids just need something to do! Please visit THINKSTRETCH to download a packet.

Wines Needs Coaches for the Spring Season of Girls on the Run!
The spring season of GOTR doesn't begin until March 10, but GOTR is already gearing up to get the season started!  All 3rd through 5th grade girls are eligible to participate.  Wines needs at least 2 volunteer coaches to get our site registered for this spring season.  We've had a great team for the last couple of years and we'd like to keep the site going! If you are interested in coaching, please email Jennifer Hall at a2halls@gmail.com for more information (FYI ... you don't have to be a runner to coach.)

Media Center Newsletter
Mrs. Evaldson’s Media Center Newsletter was attached to today's email. Enjoy!

Interested in Cub Scouts?
There is an informational meeting next Wednesday, Dec. 18th at 7:00 PM in the Multi-Purpose Room at Wines. An informational flyer was attached to today's email.

That’s all the news for today!

David
