Weekly Update 4/30

 Dear Wines Families, 

As we end the month of April today and move into our final weeks of the school year, we have lots of news and I hope you can take some time to read through today’s message and those during the rest of the year. Thanks in advance!

PTO Officer Elections Will Take Place on May 14th

Want to help make Wines even better? Are you interested in taking on a leadership role within the PTO next year? Join the PTO Board! 

Currently, there is an open spot for next year's PTO President.  The role can also be co-chaired - so find a friend who could serve in the role with you!  Commitment is on average 1-3 hours per week.  

We are also looking for 1-2 people who are interested in shadowing the Treasurers to learn the position before the current treasurers' kids complete 5th grade next year.  Commitment is on average 1-2 hours per week.

Members-at-Large are also a great way to be more involved in the decision making and taking on tasks throughout the year.  Commitment is <1 hour per week.

If you would like to learn more, please contact Jaimie Sussman, PTO Vice President @ winesptovicepresident@gmail.com
