The first day of school is only 2 weeks away! Our teaching staff returns to work on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week in order to attend our annual beginning of the year meetings. We'll be meeting out at the high school and gearing up for what should be another wonderful school year. Poland's first football game is Thursday, August 21st at PSHS. Hope to see you at the game.
Thank you to everyone who saved and dropped off empty aluminum cans here at school over the summer. As many of you know, we will once again participate in the "Cans for Cash" contest. Poland North Elementary School was a national winner last year! Spread the word to your friends and families. All empty cans can be dropped off near the boiler room door at any time. More information will come home with your children soon.
As we all prepare for the upcoming school year, please encourage your children to sharpen up their writing skills. Regardless of your children's age or grade, take a few moments and help them write short poems for the Vindicator's MiniPage. You can find the MiniPage in Saturday's paper on the back of the sports page. You'll find everything you need to know under the published poems. Send them in or have your children bring them to school in September. I send poems in each week from our school. This time of year provides quite a few good ideas:
I'll be heading back to work next week. Wait a minute.......I had to check the calendar since I cannot believe this to be true! The school's office will reopen on Tuesday, August 11th.
It is hard to believe that August has arrived! Before you know it, the first day of school will be here. Enjoy the last month of summer.
Let's hope tomorrow's weather is on our side! I have seen and heard of a lot of kids who are excited for tomorrow's game in Pittsburgh! The Pirates are playing some pretty good baseball. I hope to see you at PNC Park. Go BUCS!
