1 More Day!

You cannot help but feel the excitement in the air. Our students and staff are looking forward to Thanksgiving and a few days off. Gobble ...Gobble!

Thank you to those who took the time to make ornaments for the Make-A-Wish Foundation's holiday tree. It was nice to see so many turned in. I know that they will make the tree look great.

Keep saving your spare change. The Salvation Army's red kettle will be here on Tuesday, December 2nd. Please consider sending some spare change to school that day.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

Let's Give Thanks!

It certainly was a busy day in our 1st grades. The students spent the afternoon traveling to different stations set up in their classrooms. Pilgrim and Indian Day has been a tradition here for many years. Mrs. Resch and Mrs. Metzger planned a wonderful afternoon. Thank you to the parents who were able to donate their time to help. Gobble..Gobble. Look for an article in next week's Town Crier.

Our 3rd graders completed a service project that will make Thanksgiving a little nicer for those less fortunate. Their colorful placemats will be delivered to the Rescue Mission this afternoon. In addition, Mrs. Baldwin and Mrs. Hay will drop off the canned goods that were sent. Thank you parents for your generosity.

Attention 4th graders..... Ms. Vasko and Mrs. Kaschak have put a great "extra credit" question about Ohio on their pages. Be sure to take advantage of the bonus points. They may end up having a positive effect on your grade!

Thank you,

Mr. Masucci

Visitation Day!

I'd like to thank all of the parents that were able to make it to school today. Your children appreciated your time. Judging from the amount of cars in the parking lot and street, I'd say the turnout was fantastic.


Our BoxTops Contests has come to an end. I am pleased to announce that our PTO has earned close to $900.00! I'd like to thank our students, staff and parents for supporting our efforts. Mrs. Ferrick and Mrs. Kellgren deserve a pat on back for a job well done! The winning classroom and top seller will be announced tomorrow.


Please set aside some spare change for our school's Salvation Army collection. The red kettle will be here on December 2nd only. (I know the picture doesn't have a red kettle, but it's a pretty good fit. Trying to find just the right picture is one of the best parts of my day!)

Great Job!

I received a call today from a representative of the American Red Cross. She had wonderful news to share. The Red Cross had set a goal of collecting 25 pints of blood at our recent blood drive. In the end, they collected 29 pints and were thrilled to see 10 first time donors. Each pint saves the lives of three individuals. In all, Poland North Elementary School's students will be credited for saving 87 lives. I'd like to thank those who were willing to donate their time as well as their blood!

Tomorrow will mark the end of our BoxTops Collection Contest. Mrs. Kellgren and Mrs. Ferrick have done an amazing job. Thank you for your time and effort.

I hope to see as many parents as possible at tomorrow's "Visitation Day". Check the calendar for times.

Thank you,

Mr. Masucci

Snow?

Wow! It was quite a surprise to wake up to so much snow. Michael and Katie tracked me down as soon as they woke up and asked the million dollar question in my house: "Do we have a snow day?" NOT YET!

Our 3rd grade classrooms have been hard at work creating Thanksgiving placemats for those less fortunate. The placemats and an assortment of canned goods will be sent to the Rescue Mission . Each 3rd grade student was asked to bring in one canned good by Friday, November 21st. However, Mrs. Baldwin and Mrs. Hay will be happy to accept canned goods from any of our students.

Thank you,

Mr. Masucci

Take A Look!

Here is a sneak peek of one of the holiday plates. The rest should be finished up this week. We'll begin selling tickets for them once we return from Thanksgiving.

Please continue to encourage your children to make ornaments for the Make-A-Wish Foundation's holiday tree. Many beautiful ornaments have already been turned in.

Thank you,

Mr. Masucci
