Cans for Cash!

We are in our 2nd week of the "Cans for Cash" contest. Please keep those empty aluminum cans heading our way. By Monday, there should be a 7-foot tall steel replica of the Earth in front of our school that will serve as a receptacle.

Our students will then be able to throw cans inside. By doing so, we can save the Earth.....one can at a time! I'll share more details in a few days!

Thank you,

Mr. Masucci

A Rainy Day!

Today's wet weather and cooler temperatures are clear indicators that fall is in full swing. Although I am not a big fan of raking leaves, it is one of my favorite times of year. Keep your eyes on the trees surrounding our school. Within a few weeks, their colors will be amazing!

I reminded 3rd and 4th grade students about Family Technology Night. Invitations will be going home before the end of the week. Please plan on attending. A similar night will take place in February for K-2 students. Our friends at National City Bank will be helping out and taking an active role in both events.

Thank you,

Mr. Masucci

P.S. I have more good news to share.

Relax!

Our 3rd Graders completed the Ohio Achievement Test in Reading today. They all worked very hard and deserve a pat on the back! The results of the tests will arrive at school in mid-November and will be forwarded to parents.

The PVFD visited our school today. 1st and 2nd Graders listened to firefighters and had the chance to check out their firetruck.





Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

Congratulations!

This is a nice way to start the week! The students of Poland North Elementary School will be receiving yet another award. The Association of Fundraising Professionals Mahoning/Shenango Chapter will be honoring our school and students on Tuesday, November 11th at Mr. Anthony’s. Our students will be recognized as this year’s “Outstanding Young Philanthropists” for their generous contributions to our community. Other honorees include: Canfield Rotary, Farmers National Bank and the DeBartolo Family. Sixteen students will be attending the luncheon and will accept the award on behalf of all of our students. I will be sending more information home in the weeks to come. This is an amazing honor and one that will be shared with the individuals, families, businesses and organizations that have always supported our efforts. Congratulations!

Thank you,

Mr. Masucci

Laugh It Up!

Are you ready for this one? Over my 15 years in this building, I can now say this has happened to me twice.

I wore a black sweater vest to school today. As I was cruising the halls this morning, a kindergarten student stopped and made the following comment:

"Mr. Masucci.... I like your sweater. My grandpa has one just like it."

Enjoy the weekend.

Mr. Masucci

Great Job!

Over 60 students completed the "virtual assignment" posted on our site yesterday. I was thrilled to see so many choose to participate. Thank you parents for your support. There will be plenty of other chances coming up for even more to participate. Keep your eyes and ears on our site!

Thank you,

Mr. Masucci

October!

October has arrived .........and so have the cans! Thank you for dropping off so many bags. Please keep 'em coming.

Our latest BoxTops Contest is off to an amazing start! As of this afternoon, Mrs. Baldwin's 3rd grade class is in the lead! Mrs Gunn's team is close behind! In all, 102 completed forms were turned in this morning. That translates to $102.00 for our school. Great job.

Thank you,

Mr. Masucci
