A Note from the PTA Co-Presidents
Dear Janney Families,
Happy New Year!! We hope everyone enjoyed their Winter Break. This Friday January 6th at 7pm come meet new Janney parents and connect with old friends at a wine tasting hosted at the home of Kiki & Joe McLean. RSVP to janneywinetasting@gmail.com. Please bring 2 bottles of your favorite wine. International Night is right around the corner and we really need some more volunteers. This year, International Night returns to Janney -- Thursday January 19th from 6 - 8 p.m. We are trying something new this year, in an effort to make the night fun and engaging, children will receive passports and will "travel the globe" getting their passport stamped as they visit the countries on each continent. The International Night co-chairs need volunteers to help make International Night a success. Can you cook? Volunteer to bring a dish that shows off your family heritage! To volunteer, please contact the International Night Co-Chairs: Ragini, Rdalal@worldbank.org, Neha, shahn100@yahoo.com and Amy, hall.amy50@yahoo.com

Janney Wine Tasting
Mark your calendars for the Janney Wine Tasting!
Why: To benefit Janney School and collect wines for the school auction
When: Friday, January 6th from 7-9:30 pm at the home of Kiki and Joe McLean
How it Works: Come join fellow Janney parents as we taste wine, cheese and other goodies. Please bring 2 bottles of your favorite wine (suggested in the 10-15 dollar range). One of the bottles will be consumed at the party; the other will be auctioned off at the Janney School Auction as part of a wine package.
Responses by January 3rd are appreciated for planning purposes, but not mandatory.

Contributing to the E-Newsletter
All submissions to the PTA newsletter should be emailed to:
janneynewsletter@yahoo.com
The deadline for submissions is Friday at 3:15 pm, for publication the following Tuesday. Because the newsletter is reviewed by several individuals before distribution, we must adhere to this deadline.
Material in the newsletter must be:
1) For the benefit of Janney students;
2) Related to activities or programs that take place on Janney school grounds, or for specific Janney-sponsored events or programs;
3) From, and for, not-for-profit organizations (unless #1 and #2 above are satisfied, and approved by both PTA presidents); and
4) Submitted by an official representative of the organization or program referenced.
Inclusion in the newsletter is at the discretion of the newsletter editors, the PTA presidents, and the principal.
Please include all text in the body of the email (rather than as an attachment). Small jpeg thumbnails may be attached and can be included in the newsletter.
All links or email addresses will be made active (clickable).
If you wish to run a notice for more than one week, please indicate the dates when the notice should run, or resubmit the notice by the Friday deadline for each week.
Please note there is no longer a box in the Janney office where hard-copy newsletter submissions can be turned in. Prepared fliers to be included in the Take Home Tuesday envelope should be turned into the school office by COB Monday.
Thank you!
