Just A Reminder!

There will be a PTO meeting on Monday, March 3rd. This is our last evening meeting of the year to try to accommodate those of you who work during the day. The meeting will be held in the library and will begin at 6:30 p.m. There is quite a bit on the agenda. I hope that you are able to attend.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

Special Visit!

Our students will be treated to a special event tomorrow afternoon. The Morris Brothers, a group touring from California, will present an anti-bullying program entitled Bully Busters. Please try to take a few moments tomorrow evening to ask your child about the program. This is one of the many special events funded by Poland North's PTO. Thank you.

There will be another work session tomorrow evening for those participating in Scholastic's Kids Are Authors Contest. Our gym will be open from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. I hope to see you there.

Our Spring Pictures have been rescheduled for Monday, March 10th.

Thank you,

Mr. Masucci

Oh Boy!

Here we go again! The weather prevented us from going to school today! Let's hope we'll be back tomorrow. The weather looks a bit rough for this evening. Keep your fingers crossed.

If we have school on Wednesday, information about the Green Team's "Placemat Contest" will be coming home. Our students have done exceptionally well in this one and I hope we are able to submit a lot of entries.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

Greetings!

There was a very nice article in today's Vindicator about our recent national prize here at Poland North Elementary School. Be sure to check it out.

I have been missing quite a bit of school recently. My father is very ill and I have been spending a lot of time with him. Although I may not be at school, I check in periodically to learn how each day is going. Cell phones certainly do have their advantages! It gives me a great bit of comfort to know our school runs so smoothly without me around. Our students and staff are incredible.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

Great Day!

Our special program went very well this morning! Mayor Sicafuse, Peg Flynn and representatives from the "Cans for Cash" contest were all on hand as our school was awarded a $5,000 check and plaque for winning first place honors in the national contest. The building's achievement is to be shared with everyone who helped collect cans. Our students should be very proud of this accomplishment. Look for articles in the Vindicator and Town Crier soon!

The Bulldogs begin tournament play this evening at Boardman. The game begins at 6:00 p.m. Go Poland!

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

Take A Look!

There will be a work session this evening from 5:0o p.m. to 7:00 p.m. for those participating in the Scholastic Book Contest. Do not feel obligated to attend if it is easier for your group to work somewhere else. I scheduled three work sessions at school to simply provide opportuntities for everyone to get together. I'll have copies of previous winning entries on hand. I hope to be able to attend and answer any questions that you may have. The link above may also prove to be helpful.

Tomorrow is going to be a busy day! To support our tournament-bound Bulldog Basketball Team, we will have another "Blue and White Day". In addition, it will be "Quarter Day". We are very, very close to reaching our goal! I'll be sure to keep you posted. There will also be a short program tomorrow morning about the importance of recycling. At this time, our school will be presented with a $5,000.00 check for winning the "Cans for Cash" contest! Mayor Sicafuse, Councilman Dunnavant, Chief Beatty and the Green Team's Peg Flynn all plan on being here. Look for an upcoming article in the Vindicator and Town Crier.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

Here's the Scoop!

Since we missed "Penny Day" because of a snow day, I wanted to be sure to remind everyone about "Quarter Day". In honor of George Washington's birthday, students and staff are encouraged to bring in quarters on Friday, February 22nd. We are very close to reaching our $6,000.00 goal. Boardman Rotary sent a $500.00 check in yesterday and brought us 1 step closer to making a child's wish come true.

I have been out of the building for a few days, but hope to return soon.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci
