Well, for the third week in a row, I find myself at my kitchen table typing my weekly message! The crazy thing is that all in all, this has been a fairly mild winter. Our biggest problem at school right now is mud on the playground—which is usually a spring problem. It does look like we will have four days of school this week, which is a step in the right direction. Lots of information today, so please read below:
Parent Involvement Day/Welcoming Schools RSVP’s: LAST CALL!
Thank you to everyone who has RSVP’s for Parent Involvement Day on Monday and also signed up for the Welcoming Schools sessions during the day. Below are the links once again. It is critical that we have a good count for adult lunches so please RSVP if you plan on coming on Monday.

Wines Open Gym: This Friday Evening
Burn off some energy. Play games. Meet your friends. Wines Open Gym is an opportunity for Wines students, their younger siblings, and caregivers to utilize the gym space on Friday evenings. All are welcome. Bring a basketball, soccer ball, jump rope or just a dry pair of gym shoes.
The first open gym time is THIS FRIDAY, February 8, 6pm-7pm. A responsible adult must sign students in and out and must remain in the building. This is not a drop-off event. Thank you to the Great Ideas Grant program for bringing this opportunity to our community. We hope to see you there! Future dates will be announced.
