Check Things Out!

Our teachers are in the process of updating their web pages. Many of them have started their own blogs, too! We have a few kinks to work out, but are exceptionally proud of this site. Be sure to check things out!

Thank you Mrs. Gawdyda! You are appreciated!

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

PTO News!

Mrs. Ferrick, Mrs. Kellgren and I met this afternoon to discuss a wonderful way to raise money for our building. Much more information will be heading home in a few days. For now, just clip and collect Box Tops Coupons off of many of the products you already have in your homes. For a complete list of participating products, just click! This is an easy way to earn money for our school. For every 10 box tops, our school will earn a dollar. There are plans to make this a contest and reward the homeroom and student who turn in the most.

Thanks Mrs. Ferrick and Mrs. Kellgren. Great idea!

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

A Nice Day!

The weather today was absolutely perfect! As a result, we took our first walk of the year. Students and staff walked close to 2 miles this afternoon without having to leave the school's property. As the year goes on, we'll continue to encourage all students to lead healthy, active lifestyles. If you have the time tonight, go for a walk with your family!

Our Tailgate party is just 3 days away!

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

Kindergarten Tea

Today's Kindergarten Tea was a huge success. Miss Gura and Miss Shurilla did a wonderful job preparing their students. I would also like to thank Mrs. Sabrin and her committee for a job well done. It was nice to see so many parents and grandparents able to attend. Because of you, our school is a better place. Be sure to check out the pictures!

In conjunction with Poland's Wellness Policy and our own building's program, all students and staff will be walking tomorrow afternoon. Be sure your children wear comfortable shoes. This will mark the third year of this program. It is something our students enjoy and a great way to encourage everyone to lead healthy, active lifestyles.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

The Weekend!

It's been a short week! We are still accepting fundraiser forms. Please consider selling a few items this weekend. This PTO fundraiser provides the funds for so many of our school's special events. Your support is both needed and appreciated.

Our Tailgate Party will be held on Friday, September 26th. There will be a variety of baskets filled with different items that will be raffled off. The Webkinz Basket generated a lot of buzz today! Look for information coming home next week about purchasing tickets.

Have a great weekend.

Attention 3rd Grade Parents!

All 3rd grade students will be taking the 3rd Grade Reading Achievement Test on Monday, October 6th. The test will be administered again in the Spring along with a Math Achievement Test. While there is no perfect way to prepare for the test, the 2 links on the left side of this homepage can help. Please take some time and look them over with your children. The test results will be sent home in November. If you have any questions, please feel free to call.

Thank you,

Great News!

There is a very nice article in today's newspaper about students in our school. Over the years, we have developed a wonderful working relationship with the Vindicator. Be sure to take a look at it.

Students in Grades K-3 attended a safety program this morning. The Officer Phil Program has visited our school for many years. The safety messages are clear and entertaining for our students. Please talk about the visit with your children tonight. There will be pictures posted soon.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci
