Weekly Blog 12/10

Dear Wines Families,
A few announcements this week.

Science Olympiad
Please note that our sign ups for Science Olympiad ends this Friday. There are still lots of spaces for kids to join (grades 2-5).  You can register online (link below).

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
