Special Delivery!

Boardman Steel, a steel fabrication plant located on Southern Boulevard, was contacted several weeks ago and asked to help our school come up with an innovative way to collect aluminum cans for the "Cans for Cash" contest. They definitely came through for us! This morning a 7-foot tall steel replica of the Earth was dropped off and will now serve as a receptacle for our cans. I would like to thank Boardman Steel's owner and President David Deibel and Shop Superintendent Michael Gromada for their generosity and support. Pictured with our students is Mr. Gromada. In addition to the Earth, he brought a bag of empty cans the men working on the project had accumulated.

Thank you,

Mr. Masucci

Moving Along!

The weather looks great for tomorrow! Therefore, we are going to take our monthly walk. Please be sure your children wear appropriate shoes. Before we know it, cold weather will prevent us from heading outside. Thanks to our friends at National City Bank our students will have other opportunities to exercise during the long winter months. More information will be heading home in a few days.

I am hoping for a big "can" day tomorrow! Please send in as many as you can.

Thank you,

Mr. Masucci

The "Write" Stuff!

Poland North Elementary School has some fantastic poets! In this week's MiniPage, there were four students' poems published. Three of the four were written by our students. Please continue to encourage your children to write poems about upcoming holidays or special events. This is a great way to further develop writing skills. It is a great activity for students of all ages and grade-levels. Simply send the poems to school and have your children place them in the mailbox outside of the school's office.


Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

The Weekend!

Tonight our Poland Bulldogs will tangle with the Steubenville Big Red. The game is going to be incredibly crowded, so I suggest arriving as early as possible. Many of our students will be attending. My advice to them was to stick close to their parents since it will be very easy to get lost in the crowd. Let's hope the Bulldogs come out on top!

All posters for the Juvenile Court Advisory Board's Poster Contest are due on Monday. Please be sure the entry form is attached to the back of the poster. I am looking forward to receiving a lot of entries.

Keep your eye on tomorrow's MiniPage. Over the course of the last 2 weeks, I have sent close to 30 poems in from our school.

Thank you,

Mr. Masucci

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.
