Congratulations to Mrs. Baldwin! Her daughter gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Mom, Dad, Baby and......Grandma....... are all doing well!

Don't forget! Monday will be the Poland Library's "Pajama Jam". Everyone is encouraged to wear their pajamas! While I won't guarantee that I will be wearing pajamas myself, I will guarantee a good time! We'll start at 7:00 p.m.

Special Announcement!


Our Spring Program has been moved to Tuesday, April 8th at 6:00 p.m. This program will feature all Kindergarten and 3rd Grade students. This year's theme will be a patriotic one. In making this change, I checked the district's calendar and found that there are no other events scheduled to take place on this day.



I am looking forward to Monday's "Pajama Jam" at the Poland Library. I'll begin reading at 7:00 p.m. Hope to see you there!


Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

Under the Weather!

I was not able to make it to school today. It is uncommon for me to miss, but I am a bit under the weather. I hope to be back tomorrow.

Our Make-A-Wish efforts are still moving along. Mrs. Resch's class was nice enough to donate over $60.00 in quarters. They were using the coins for a variety of lessons and decided to help our cause once they were finished. Thank you. In just 7 days, I will be speaking at Poland Rotary's luncheon and asking for the group's support. Last time we collected money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, they contributed $1,500.00. Keep your fingers crossed.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

A Short Week

We're looking at another short week. These four days will wrap up our second grading period. Report Cards will be heading home on Friday, February 1st.

"Family Technology Night" has been cancelled. I apologize and will try to reschedule this event at a later date. The cancellation has nothing to do with a lack of interest. Close to 85% of our K-2 students and parents were planning on attending. I will keep you posted and thank you for understanding.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

A Busy Weekend!

There is a lot going on this weekend. Tonight and tomorrow are all about basketball! In Canfield tonight, our undefeated Bulldogs will take on the Cardinals. If you are unable to make it to the game, I believe you can watch it on television later tonight. Go DOGS!

Tomorrow the focus will shift to YSU Basketball. Over 200 hundred free tickets were sent home to families who were interested in attending tomorrow night's double-header at the Beeghly Center. Hope to see you there!

With the holiday on Monday, school will be closed. Please take a few moments and ask your children what they know about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. During morning announcements today, we finished up a book and discussed the importance of this famous leader. I did not have the opportunity to visit the afternoon kindergarten today. I'll be there Tuesday to share the same book!

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

Go Bulldogs!

Tomorrow is "Blue and White Day". Our undefeated Bulldog Basketball team will travel to Canfield to battle the Cardinals. When these two teams meet, anything can happen. Let's hope our boys can bring home yet another victory!

Please ask your children what they know about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. During morning announcements, I read part of a book that described his childhood and gave facts about his family. I'll finish the rest of the book tomorrow morning before sharing it with our afternoon kindergarten.



Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

Family Game Night

Thank you to all of the 4th grade families that were able to make it to Family Game Night. The turnout was fantastic! I would also like to thank the SupplyRoom for providing the evening's games. It appeared as though everyone had a good time.

Mrs. Kaschak, Ms. Vasko and Mrs. Baldwin were all kind enough to attend and ensure the evening ran smoothly. Their willingness to plan and help comes as no surprise! Our school is so fortunate to have such tremendous support from so many different groups.

Within a few days, pictures of the event will be posted under "Events". Be sure to check them out.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci
