Weekly Blog 1/29


Dear Wines Families,
It may be cold, but I’m certainly happy that we are in school today! Below is a link to the January Wines Times newsletter. Please have a look!

Since we have the Wines Times this week, I’ll try to keep my announcements brief. However, there are a couple of important items that are not in the newsletter.

International Night
International Night is this Friday from 6:00 to 8. Please see my email from Monday for volunteer opportunities. I hope to see you there!

Parent Involvement Day
In today’s Wednesday Folder you will receive a paper invitation to our annual Parent Involvement Day on Monday, February 10th. Our staff looks forward to hosting our families that day. Please feel free to stay for the whole day or whatever part of your day you can spare. Below is a link to an RSVP for Parent Involvement Day. If you are planning on attending, please let us know with the RSVP. We will provide lunch to adult guests. If you are planning on staying for lunch, please be sure to RSVP so we can have a fairly accurate count.

Disability Awareness Workshop
On Thursday, March 20, 2014, Wines 4th grade students will again participate in the Disability Awareness Workshop.  This hands-on, activity-based workshop helps students understand how challenging and complex daily life can be for individuals living with a variety of disabilities.  The goal is for students to experience—through this hands-on event –that each of us should be respected and included in daily community life no matter how we may look, act, walk or talk.  Please consider volunteering to help with this workshop.  For more information and to sign up contact Jessi Averill at jessi.averill@gmail.com or 267-495-6208.

Floor Hockey Friday
Our second Friday Floor Hockey will take place starting at 8:00 AM this Friday. All kids and parents are welcome! We will see how many folks show up this week and if we again have a large group, we will start a rotation or sign up for subsequent weeks. And a quick note from Mr. Mosher about floor hockey: “If parents want to come great. BUT THEY HAVE TO PLAY!

Listen and Learn Follow Up
Finally, just a reminder that tomorrow evening, Thursday, Dr. Swift will be at Forsythe Middle School to hold a follow up discussion about her Listen and Learn tour of all AAPS schools and other meetings. The meeting starts at 6:30. If you can’t make it, there are meetings at other middle schools next week. More information can be found in the Wines Times.

Stay warm!
David
