It's Tuesday!

Our Red Ribbon Week is off to a great start. I enjoy seeing all of the blue and white today! Mrs. Delasandro invests a lot of time in making this week as memorable as possible. We're lucky to have her. Tomorrow is "color" day. Be sure your children relay the message.

Since the weather will be nice, we'll plan on walking tomorrow afternoon. be sure your children wear comfortable shoes.

Have a great day!

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

The Weekend has Arrived!

The weeks have been going by very quickly. It's hard to believe Halloween is right around the corner. Our Box Tops contest is going very well. Keep clipping! Remember, each completed sheet is worth $1.00 for our school. Thanks Mrs. Ferrick for all of your hard work.

Since our school will be holding a Community Blood Drive in November, the American Red Cross will be visiting next week to share age-appropriate information with our students and staff. The actual Blood Drive will be held on Monday, November 16th from 3:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. More information will be heading home soon.

Have a great weekend!

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

Generosity!

Generosity should be the word of the week! In the last few days, our school has collected over $500.00 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation! Our students are excited to learn about our building's progress. Watching them enter the building each day and place money in our jug is a very humbling experience. Thanks for your support.

Yesterday's weather was on our side. Now.......we need 1 more day when the weather cooperates! Mark Friday, November 20th on your calendars. Our Marine friends from Johnstown, PA will once again be visiting our school. They will arrive via helicopter and land behind Mrs. Metzger's classroom. More details will go home soon. Plan on stopping by to check things out for yourselves.

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

Thank You PTO!

The weather today could not have been nicer for our first ever "Walk Home from School Day" I'd like to thank our PTO volunteers for their help. Without you, this wouldn't have been possible. Over 150 students manged to get home safe and sound. I'd also like to thank the our village police and fire departments for their help crossing students at our busiest intersections. I look forward to having more days like this in the future.

Great job!

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

BIG News!

Considering the weather may not cooperate on Friday, our Walk Home from School Day has been moved to tomorrow, October 21st! I have contacted all of our chaperones and will send notes home with the students today. I am sorry for any inconvenience. Tomorrow is supposed to be even nicer and warmer than today.

Thank you for understanding!

Mr. Masucci

P.S. Don't forget....tomorrow is also "Dime Day"!

New Phones!

Our school has new phones. Ordinarily, this wouldn't be the news of the day. However, these phones have made the day rather interesting. The kinks should be worked out soon. If you have had difficulty reaching the school, I do apologize.

Wednesday will be "Dime Day". I asked the students to search their couch cushions and countertops. For the record, I did say no one should be cracking open piggy banks!

Have a great week.

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

A Long Weekend!

The 3 day weekend has arrived. It certainly has been busy the past few days. This is always a busy time of year, but this school year is even busier. There are a lot of unique projects going on and many just about ready to begin. Keep your eyes and ears on our site for more information.

Important news about the H1N1 virus will be going home on Monday. Our school has started to see increases in the number of children with flu-like symptoms. If your child has any of them, please do not send them to school. Our school's nurse, Mrs. Fedor, will be at our November PTO meeting to pass along additional information and answer any questions you may have. Hope to see you there.

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci
