Due to the snow days, there has been a delay in getting the sign up out for Science Olympiad. Don’t worry, you haven’t missed anything. Please look for a sign up and information either tomorrow or Friday. I will send via email. Practices will begin the week of March 4^th.

Great Ideas Grants

Do you have a great idea? The Great ideas Grant program is an opportunity for Wines students, parents, and staff to turn a great idea into a funded program to benefit the Wines community! The grant approval committee meets twice a year to vote on applications. Submissions are now accepted online only.  The next deadline is March 1, 2019. The links for the Adult and Child application can be found on the Wines PTO website: www.winespto.org 

Don’t let a great idea go to waste! Submit now! Submit several! We look forward to hearing from you. Contact: Sumi Sood – sumi.sood1@gmail.com

 The WINES TIMES is Accepting Student Art!

We need to spruce up the masthead of the WINES TIMES and are asking students to consider submitting original art incorporating the words WINES TIMES into their piece to use as the front page header of the PTO newsletter.

It would be best to keep the design 4-5 inches wide and 3 inches in height. The chosen piece will be randomly selected from all submissions. One submission per student, please. Art can be placed in the PTO mailbox in the office or emailed to newsletter@winespto.org.

Wines Open Gym

We had great success at the first Friday Open Gym. The next open gym dates are: Friday, February 22, March 1, March 15.  6-7pm.
