Today was an exceptional day! Be sure to ask your children about their afternoon. A representative from the Make-A-Wish Foundation visited and thanked our students for their kind act! She expressed her gratitude by sharing her own story and those of several other Make-A-Wish children. She was the recipient of a wish herself many years ago. I believe our students were touched by her words. In addition, the Pirate Parrot flew in from Pittsburgh and announced......or had me announce.....that the Pittsburgh Pirates were so impressed with our school's generosity that they have provided Poland North Elementary School with 500 tickets to the June 22nd game at PNC Park. In addition, our school will be recognized on the giant scoreboard in the middle of the fourth inning. Our students are encouraged to stick around after the game to run the bases, too! All the details about these tickets were sent home today on a gold piece of paper! Look for an article in the Vindicator. Our local newspapers really are good to our building. They are very appreciated. We also had local news channels cover the afternoon's event.
Thank you to the Pittsburgh Pirates for recognizing the efforts of our students! Go BUCS!
Thank you,
Mr. Masucci
