ATTENTION WINANS PARENTS:
Our Principal, Mr, Jim Huntzicker, will be retiring this year.
Dr. Rich Moore, our Superintendent, would like to have a meeting with the Winans parents on March 14th at 5:30 PM at Winans school to find out what qualities and characteristics parents are looking for in a new principal.
Dr. Moore would also like to have a meeting with Winans staff at Winans on March 14th at 3:30 for the same purpose, to find out the qualities and characteristics they would like to see in the new principal.
Please come participate (bring a friend!) and help make this change as positive and smooth as possible. A flyer should be coming home later this week.
Thanks!

A Few Reminders
I. Our next PTO Meeting will be COMBINED with EASTSIDE SCHOOL. The meeting will be held Tuesday, March 6th at 5:30 PM at the EASTSIDE LIBRARY. Please join us and bring a friend!
II. This weekend, Eastside and Crazy Mountain Productions present "The WILDEST WEST SHOW EVER" at the Dulcie Theater. In addition to being a really FUN show, this is a fundraiser for the PTO, so please come to the show if you can, support the older kids in our community, and bring some extra cash for the PTO concessions sale. All seats $5, $20 per family, shows Friday night at 7PM and Saturday at 2PM and 4PM.
III. Our spring fundraiser, Butter Braids (that delicious filled pastry!) begins this coming Monday and runs for 10 days (February 27th- March 7th). Please check backpacks for the order form and be sure talk it up this coming week. The price is $12 per braid and we keep $5. We came close to earning $3,000 last year and we hope to reach that goal this year. The money will help pay for the repairs to the playground ("The FUN Slide"), replenish the field trip fund, and support teacher stipends. Thanks in advance for your help.
Also, please be sure to bookmark this blog and share it with friends. You can email jamiemelin@msn.com if there is anything you would like to contribute to the blog--field trip photos, special recognition, community events, etc. Right now it's just PTO updates but it could be so much more! Thanks, as always, for your support!

VIII. T-Shirts and Yearbooks
