Dear Wines Families,
With the events currently unfolding in our country today, I want you to know that we are monitoring the situation and our teachers will be prepared to answer questions and support our students tomorrow. We will seek to help students know that they are safe and that our country, while going through a challenging moment, is safe and secure as well. This is obviously a unique situation for all of us, but as with any situation, we will focus on the well being of your children. Here is the news for the week.
Noodles and Company Fundraiser Jan. 12
We have partnered with Noodles and Company next Tuesday from 4:00 to 8:00 PM. 25% of proceeds go directly to Wines. The offer is good for pick up or delivery! Online orders through the Noodles Rewards app or at www.noodles.com/Order. Enter the code Giving25 at checkout.
Looking ahead, we will be partnering with two Wines family owned restaurants in February and March at Vinology and Godaiko. Stay tuned for details. This is an easy way to support our school!
Community Viewing and Conversation: Screenagers
In a typical year the Wines PTO offers a speaker at their January meeting. This year, the Wines PTO encourages you to watch the latest Screenagers movie and then join a live Facebook panel offered by AAPS on January 12th at 7pm. The opportunity is being offered through the support of the Miles Jeffrey Roberts Foundation. As many of you know, the Roberts family is a Wines family and we lost their son Miles to suicide nearly four years ago. Please see details below:
SCREENAGERS NEXT CHAPTER: Uncovering Skills for Stress Resilience
With funding provided by the Miles Jeffrey Roberts Foundation, and with support from the Washtenaw ISD and Washtenaw County Community Mental Health, the AAPS is providing all families with the opportunity to view Screenagers Next Chapter: Uncovering Skills for Stress Resilience. For more information, please see the district’s website, or CLICK HERE to register for on-demand access to the documentary.
Science Olympiad
Below is a not from our Science Olympiad Coach Laura Neilsen (thanks, Laura!!)
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
I look forward to hearing from you!
Happy learning!
Laura Nielsen
That’s all for this week. Please contact me with any questions.
