Dear Wines Families,
By now you should have received a message from Dr. Swift outlining our transition to planning for a return to in person instruction in a hybrid form. I know this news brings varying types of responses and LOTS of questions. What I do know now is that I have tried on three pairs of my work pants and I’m happy to report that they all fit!! Beyond that, I do not have much more specific information to share with the community other than to let families know that you will have a choice to remain virtual or have your children participate in hybrid instruction. Please know that this planning began last spring and summer and we are now in the stage of fine tuning the plan based on current circumstances and updated safety protocols. As you might expect, we are busy thoughtfully planning details of this move. I will be in frequent contact with our community via email and likely Zoom question and answer session(s) over the coming days and weeks. I am most certainly available at any time to answer questions, address concerns, etc. but I do ask for your patience as details are finalized.
Noodles and Company Success!
Our first ever restaurant fundraiser was a success! Thank you for all who participated. Many of us who ordered faced delays in receiving our food, but that is a good sign as it meant we had high participation! Our next restaurant experience is tentatively scheduled for Feb. 10th with Vinology where we will be ordering Chef Alex Young’s famous fried chicken dinner. More information will be forthcoming.
International Night
Each year Wines has an International Night where we celebrate our cultures. This year International Night will look a bit different but we wanted to carry on the tradition! In lieu of an in-person evening we will be making International Boxes to be distributed (safely with masks) on Feb. 18th in the Wines Parking lot from 5:00-6:30 pm. If you are interested in participating in this event please fill out this Google Form indicating your interest and what you would like to contribute. It can be food and/or a small trinket from the country you wish to represent. If you would like to pick up a box (or 2 or 3) but don't wish to make anything, that is fine too. Please contact Celeste Kanpurwala with any questions at celestelsmith@gmail.com.
Science Olympiad
Science Olympiad season is here! While it may look a little different, it has been set up in a way the kids can, in a sense, sample all the different subjects! This will provide the kids with the opportunity to experience all the subjects they want and skip the ones that maybe aren't their particular interest.
Each month will be a different theme compiled of different events that are similar. There is no long-term commitment this year. It will be self-paced and self-guided with a bit of parental help. Everything will be virtual and hands on in your own home! While there will not be a huge competition this year, at the end of each month there will be an assessment on the information your child has learned throughout the month.
January's theme is Trending today. Starting Jan.10th. You can check out 2021 Monthly Event Themes & Materials on the WESO website for all the info for this and the following months.
If you are interested in signing up for any of the months please contact Laura Nielsen at scienceowines@gmail.com or simply fill out this interest form and I will get back to you ASAP

That’s all for this week (or at least for today...). Please contact me with any questions.
