Relax!

Our 3rd Graders completed the Ohio Achievement Test in Reading today. They all worked very hard and deserve a pat on the back! The results of the tests will arrive at school in mid-November and will be forwarded to parents.

The PVFD visited our school today. 1st and 2nd Graders listened to firefighters and had the chance to check out their firetruck.





Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

Congratulations!

This is a nice way to start the week! The students of Poland North Elementary School will be receiving yet another award. The Association of Fundraising Professionals Mahoning/Shenango Chapter will be honoring our school and students on Tuesday, November 11th at Mr. Anthony’s. Our students will be recognized as this year’s “Outstanding Young Philanthropists” for their generous contributions to our community. Other honorees include: Canfield Rotary, Farmers National Bank and the DeBartolo Family. Sixteen students will be attending the luncheon and will accept the award on behalf of all of our students. I will be sending more information home in the weeks to come. This is an amazing honor and one that will be shared with the individuals, families, businesses and organizations that have always supported our efforts. Congratulations!

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

Laugh It Up!

Are you ready for this one? Over my 15 years in this building, I can now say this has happened to me twice.

I wore a black sweater vest to school today. As I was cruising the halls this morning, a kindergarten student stopped and made the following comment:

"Mr. Masucci.... I like your sweater. My grandpa has one just like it."

Enjoy the weekend.

Great Job!

Over 60 students completed the "virtual assignment" posted on our site yesterday. I was thrilled to see so many choose to participate. Thank you parents for your support. There will be plenty of other chances coming up for even more to participate. Keep your eyes and ears on our site!

Cans for Cash!

Our Cans for Cash Contest officially begins tomorrow! Please continue to save and drop off your empty aluminum cans. Spread the word to family and friends about the contest. It's another easy way for our school to earn money while teaching our students the importance of recycling. The contest ends October 31st.

Don't forget about Thursday's PTO Meeting. It will begin at 6:30 p.m. See you there.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

P.S. If you happen to have an extra vacuum cleaner that you would like to get rid of, please let me know. Mr. Sofranec and his crew are in need of a few extras.
