Weekly Blog 3/5

Dear Wines Families,

Just a few announcements this week:

First, a quick reminder that there is no school next Monday, March 10^th. Teachers will be working on report cards that day. Report cards will be coming home on Monday, March 17^th.

Disability Awareness Workshop

Our 4^th graders will be participating in the annual Disability Awareness Workshop on March 20^th. We need volunteers for this event. You do not need to have a 4^th grader to volunteer! I attached an informational flyer to today's email.

Wines Wahoo

Are you tired of the snow and cold?  Ready for a tropical escape? The annual Wines Wahoo takes place on Friday, March 21st, 2014 from 6:30 - 8:30 at Forsythe Middle School. The Wines Wahoo is the perfect opportunity to shake off the winter blues! 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 but can volunteer. Younger siblings are 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. In order to make the Wahoo a success, we need volunteers to help with set-up, admissions, refreshments, gym monitoring and clean up. There will be several shifts, so you will have time to socialize and have fun with your kids.  Please use the link below to sign up!
