Wines Weekly Update 2/12

 Dear Wines Families, 

As I’m sure you are, we are watching the weather as snow is on its way. As of the writing of this note, there are no closures or cancellations but I will keep everyone posted as things move ahead. Please look for district announcements as well. 

BIG Thank You!

I want to start today by sharing some important recognitions and thanks. First, I want to recognize Robbie Weeks who once again organized a great Wines Wahoo. It seems like Robbie is able to improve on this tradition every year! Thanks also to the many parent volunteers who stepped up to support Robbie and our kids making it a great evening. 

I want to thank the well over 300 parents who were able to attend NAAPID on Monday. We hope you enjoyed the day and got a glimpse of what an amazing place Wines is! Thanks also to the incredible Wines staff who helped make the day special as well—it is no easy task for teachers and staff on a day like that!
