The 3rd and 4th grade Family Night has been rescheduled for Wednesday, January 19th. I was thrilled to learn two of the three presenters are still able to make it. The third presenter, Mr. Kent Te
kulve, is unable to make the rescheduled date. Mr. Tekulve is the President of the Pittsburgh Pirates Alumni Association and a familiar name to Pirate fans. He was planning on sharing information about his incredible baseball career. However, he was going to spend more time talking to our students about determination and what it takes to succeed in every walk of life. Now 63 years old, Kent donates quite a bit of time to educating children. It would have been nice to have him. He is unable to attend because he will be in Florida participating in the 2011 Pirates Fantasy Baseball Camp. When we spoke yesterday, I suggested holding our event in Florida. While he thought that was a great idea, he did not feel as though the Pirate organization would pick up the tab.

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci
