Congratulations!

Our school recently participated in the annual “Earth Day to Earth Day Placemat Contest” sponsored by the Mahoning County Commissioners’ Reuse and Recycling Division and Dominion. For the past four years, Poland North Elementary School has had a large number of students participate in and win honors in this contest. This year is no exception! Like in the past, our school had more winners than any other K-4 elementary school in the county! This is quite an accomplishment and one that we should all be proud of. This year's winners from North are pictured.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

Great News!

Be looking for a letter heading home later this week regarding our Make-A-Wish efforts. It will also be posted on the site. I am proud to report that we have reached our $6,000.00 goal. Within a few weeks, our students will be learning about the young lady whose wish will be coming true thanks to the their extreme generosity and that of our staff, families and community! Congratulations!

Mother/Daughter Night!

Our Mother/Daughter Night was a huge success. Thank you to Mrs. Blasko and her committee for another job well done. LA-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries provided two of the evenings "best seats". In addition to their generosity, Cinema South donated the popcorn! Thank you.

The girls seemed to have a great time and enjoyed the movie, ice cream and popcorn. It was a great evening for our girls! Thanks to all those who were able to come.

Be sure to check out the pictures!

Thank you,

A Quick Week!

With so much going on, this week has gone by very quickly. Tomorrow marks the end of the third grading period. Report cards will come home next Friday.

I spent some time this afternoon with our 4th graders. Using our InterWrite Board, we took a look at some sample questions from previous achievement tests. The link to the site is found on this very page. Look in the upper left hand corner. It is a great site and one that shows different types of student responses. Please take a look. It is great for 3rd graders, too!

Tomorrow is Mother/Daughter Night. LA-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries will be dropping off recliners that will make a great night even better for 2 lucky winners! Bruster's ice cream and popcorn will be on hand. Hope to see you there.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

A Huge Success!

Wow! I just got home from tonight's Father/Son Night! Thank you to Mrs. Blasko and her committee for putting together one incredible evening. The turnout was fantastic. By far, PSHS basketball players Bryan, Ben and Ben were the hit! Too often you hear about what teenagers do wrong. It may not be as common to hear about what they do right. Tonight three young men volunteered their time and created lasting memories for young kids from their community and, for two of them, their old school! Thank you guys. You are appreciated for what you can do on the court...... and off.

I cannot forget to thank the dads, grandpas and other important men who made the night a success. You are appreciated, too.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

P.S. Look for pictures on the site soon!

Today's News

Our 2nd Graders had a great time on their field trip to Schwebel's Bakery. From what I understand, they were very well behaved and enjoyed the tour. Thank you to all of the chaperones who were able to assist Mrs. Saculla and Mrs. Gunn.

Tonight's Father/Son Night is going to be great! Plan on arriving at 5:30 p.m. Hope to see you there.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci
