A Nice Day!

Wow! Today was another beautiful day. It really has been a great week. Our 3rd graders are very excited about tomorrow's trip to Pittsburgh. They'll ride on the Gateway Clipper and tour PNC Park. It will be a great way to kick off the long weekend.

I also have more great news about our school. Poland North was awarded a $3,000.00 grant from Youngstown State University. It will be used to purchase the student response systems our students and staff used during this year's technology nights. In addition to the systems, we'll receive training and support from Turning Technologies, a locally based company that sells the equipment.


I spent a good portion of the morning attending the County Commissioners meeting at the Mahoning County Courthouse. Two of our students were honored for their 1st place placemat entries. Congratulations to Brianna and Alex! Their winning entries will be made into placemats at the following restaurants: A&W, Belleria in Canfield, Carchedi's, and Yankee Kitchen. In all, 1,338 students participated.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci
