Weekly Blog 4/30


Dear Wines Families,

Below is a link to this month’s Wines Times, please take some time to read through this month’s newsletter. I have a few other announcements that didn’t make the newsletter.


Science Olympiad Fun Night Tomorrow!
Tomorrow evening is the Wines Science Olympiad Fun Night from 6-8pm here at Wines. Our 2nd-5th grade teams have all been working hard over the winter and are looking forward to showcasing what they have learned as our competition day approaches. The evening will include a prize drawing, cool cars, displays of agility, flying objects, amazing feats of estimation, map readers, skilled builders, experts in potions, tests of memory and writing, and some good old physics in action. In addition to the ‘fun’ part, Fun Night is an opportunity for friends and families to observe the teams engaged in their events (at the actual competition on May 10, most events will not be open to observers). First grade families and others who may be interested in participating in Science Olympiad next year are most welcome and are encouraged to come learn about our teams and the event.  We would love to see you there!!

Brownies Community Service Project
The Wines Brownie Troop 40551 is excited to make a difference in their community by sponsoring a Personal Needs Drive for the families served by SOS Community Services. Donation boxes will be placed outside the office throughout the month of May. Wines Troop 40551 asks that you please bring your donations of personal needs items such as shampoo, conditioner, soap, diapers (larger sizes), brushes, combs, laundry detergent, deodorant, and other items related to personal care to be placed in the boxes. The girls will be touring the food pantry at SOS as they learn about ways to help the less fortunate in their community. Thank you for your donations!

5k Event at Wines - Parents we need your help in making this event a success for our Girls!
Our Wines Girls on the Run team is holding a practice 5k event after school on Tuesday, May 6th and would like to invite you to run with us, cheer for us, or quench our thirst! Please email Coach Cecilia Spencer, cecilialspencer@gmail.com, if you can help out. We especially need a couple volunteers for the water station.

Meet us at the starting line, in front of Wines main entrance. We will start at 4pm. Our route takes us through the Creal Park neighborhood and finishes back in front of Wines.
We are practicing for the end of the season run with all the Girls on the Run teams in southeastern Michigan which will take place on May 18 at Eastern Michigan University. We'd love to see you there too. For more information about the event or how to sign up to run with your daughter or support your Wines team, go to http://www.girlsontherunsemi.org/race/77-girls-on-the-run-5k/register
