Weekly Blog 1/6

Dear Wines Families,
Happy New Year! It is nice to be back at school and after a Monday that saw many kids looking a bit subdued, we are back in full swing and Wines is humming along like we never left. I have a number of announcements this week:

Science Olympiad On-line Registration
Registration for the 2016 Wines Science Olympiad Teams is now open to students in grades 2-5. This year the number of students that Wines can send to the WESO competition on May 14, 2106 at Pioneer High School is unlimited and we are excited about the possibility of sending a record sized team!! Team assignments will begin on January 9 for those with completed registrations. Registration and event information is on-line this year, paper copies will not be sent home with the students. For questions about Science Olympiad or the registration process email scienceowines@gmail.com.

Parents will find registration information including a list of event descriptions to share with their children at this link:https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4N5Lcts02YXam9tU2ExTWl6LUE/view?usp=sharing

The on-line registration form is at this link: http://goo.gl/forms/LYM4eygSwF
After submitting the form you will be directed to the on-line payment page. 

International Night
International Night is right around the corner. This wonderful family event takes place on Thursday, January 27th from 6:30-8:00. If your family would like to sign up to share information/artifacts/food/traditional dress/other about your culture or a culture of interest, please sign up! The sign up form as well as a family activity entitled "Where is My Family From?" were included in today's email to families. 

THANK YOU!!!
Thank you to the Wines community for your generous donations to the Peace Neighborhood Holiday Drive!  We were able to deliver three carloads of items from our school!  Overall it was a huge success and provided toys, clothes, and food for 275 area families. Way to go Wines! A big thank you to Tracy Alam who organized this opportunity.

Extra socks or knit mittens??
Has your dryer eaten a sock or two or are you one knit glove a way from a pair? Our parent volunteers organizing the sewing Extra Special could use these for various sewing projects. You can drop off your lonely socks or gloves (knit) to the office.

Kindergarten Round Up
Believe it or not, we are already gearing up for Kindergarten 2016-2017. Our annual Kindergarten Round Up takes place on Wednesday, February 24th from 6:30-7:30 PM. If you have a child who will be 5 by September 1, 2016 or if you have friends or neighbors who do, please contact the office so we can begin compiling our list of new students. Please bring your child to Round Up as well. We do anticipate having space available for In-District Transfer families in Kindergarten so if you know of residents outside of the Wines attendance area who are interested in our school, please have those families give us a call!

That’s all for this week.

David
