Weekly Update 2/25

 Dear Wines Families, 

We are enjoying our first full week in a bit here at Wines. The kids are busy and winter has decided to hang on for a little while. I guess this means we’ll appreciate spring that much more this year when it returns! Here is the news for the week: 

International Night Tonight!

Come join us as we celebrate International Night tonight. The event starts at 6:30 and our students will participate in the “Parade of Nations” at approximately 7:30. There will be lots of food and opportunities to learn about the diverse backgrounds and interests in the Wines community. 

Floor Hockey Season Has Concluded

Big thank you to Darcy Knoll for organizing our weekly floor hockey games this winter. This tradition started over 30 years ago at Northside Elementary (now A2Steam) by my old friend and longtime PE Teacher at Northside, the late Rick Dekeon. Darcy admirably honors Rick each week with our game. See you all next year! 

Lunchtime Extra Specials Session II Begins Next Week

Volunteers Needed: Classroom Artwork for our Live Auction!

Volunteers are needed to assist classrooms with creating auction items for the Wines Auction on April 17th.  Each year students at Wines help raise funds for the PTO by creating a unique classroom art piece. The art is then live auctioned off during the event.  Over the years students have produced some amazing pieces of art.  This year we are looking for parent volunteers from each classroom to help plan and create projects. No art experience is needed.  Anyone interested please email Lauren Cunnane at lmbrooks27@gmail.com.

Save the Date: Wines Auction April 17

Speaking of the Auction our Parents Night Out & the Silent Auction at Venue by 4M (6-10pm April 17th) is less than two months away so book your babysitters now! This is always a really fun (and casual!) evening to connect with other parents, enjoy some time out, and support the Wines community. We’ll have a great selection of silent auction items, and all proceeds go directly toward enriching programs and experiences for our students. 

You can use the event website to purchase tickets or sponsorships here. Tickets include admission and heavy appetizers. We also need your help to make this event a success. If you’re interested in helping organize, solicit donations, provide a donation, or be part of the planning team, please reach out to Robbie at ptowinesauction@gmail.com.
