Progress!

It is a beautiful day! I think everyone here is ready for the weekend. Report cards are coming home today. Please be sure to sign and return them to school as soon as possible.

The Elementary Art Show will take place from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. here at school. In addition to the work displayed, all who attend will be able to participate in art related activities in Room 102. I hope to see you here.

Our courtyard's latest project is moving right along. Be sure to check out the pictures in our "Greenhouse" photo album.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

Take A Look!

Please try to attend tomorrow evening's Elementary Art Show at our school. A lot of hard work went into putting this event together. Our Art teacher, Tami Johnson, and Poland Union parent Diane Becherer have done an amazing job. Thank you to all of the volunteers who spent time hanging the work of Poland's students.

We have made some real progress in our school's courtyard. By tomorrow, there will be pictures posted. Be sure to check them out! This latest project would not be possible without the leadership of one of our building's most supportive fathers. Jason Smith of Focus Contracted Services has worked exceptionally hard and is excited as I am to see the finished product. If you can make it to tomorrow's show, be sure to take a look!

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

Congratulations!

Our school recently participated in the annual “Earth Day to Earth Day Placemat Contest” sponsored by the Mahoning County Commissioners’ Reuse and Recycling Division and Dominion. For the past four years, Poland North Elementary School has had a large number of students participate in and win honors in this contest. This year is no exception! Like in the past, our school had more winners than any other K-4 elementary school in the county! This is quite an accomplishment and one that we should all be proud of. This year's winners from North are pictured.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

Great News!

Be looking for a letter heading home later this week regarding our Make-A-Wish efforts. It will also be posted on the site. I am proud to report that we have reached our $6,000.00 goal. Within a few weeks, our students will be learning about the young lady whose wish will be coming true thanks to the their extreme generosity and that of our staff, families and community! Congratulations!

Thank you,

Mother/Daughter Night!

Our Mother/Daughter Night was a huge success. Thank you to Mrs. Blasko and her committee for another job well done. LA-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries provided two of the evenings "best seats". In addition to their generosity, Cinema South donated the popcorn! Thank you.

The girls seemed to have a great time and enjoyed the movie, ice cream and popcorn. It was a great evening for our girls! Thanks to all those who were able to come.

Be sure to check out the pictures!

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci
