Dear Wines Families,
A few announcements this week.

Please note that our sign ups for Science Olympiad ends this

Holiday Collections
Our two holiday collections are going great! As a reminder,
our Brownie Troop has a collection in the front hall in partnership with Safe
House. They are collecting new pajamas, sizes newborn to adult XXL, new pillows
of various sizes, and boxed tissues. There is a purple bin near the front
doors. In addition, our annual coat drive with our partners from Reinhart is
going on as well. If possible, please wash your used coats, but if you can’t,
we’ll wash them for you. Right now we are told the greatest need is for
children’s and men’s coats. Please help support both of these wonderful causes.
Gifts to Staff
As we gear up for the holiday season, I want to remind
everyone that AAPS employees can only accept gifts of token value. Please help
us and follow this policy. One great way to show your appreciation during this
holiday season and support our teachers and our school is to donate directly to
our PTO. Our PTO does so much for our community. All of their resources
go directly to our school. Our PTO helps teachers purchase items for their
classrooms, they support various projects in the school include technology and
playground purchases, they bring in assemblies, and many other things. Perhaps
most importantly, our PTO uses their resources to provide financial assistance
to any Wines family to ensure that every child has access to everything Wines
has to offer. I know our staff would feel honored to have a donation made to
the PTO in their honor as a gift this holiday season. You can donate directly
online at https://squareup.com/market/wines-elementary-school-pto.
Donations are tax deductible. Any amount will help our school!
Best,
David
