Exercise!

Thanks to our friends at National City Bank all of the students will be enjoying some new equipment when they attend their physical education classes. Because of the parents and staff members who visited the bank for a free financial review session, our school received $1,500.00 to enhance our building's walking/exercise program.

Mr. Wesolowsky was thrilled and extremely appreciative. We all are and will make certain the equipment is put to good use. Look for pictures to be posted soon.

Thank you,

Mr. Masucci

Thank You PTO!

Thanks to the generosity of our school's PTO, a 32" flat-screen television, an Under Armour basket filled with golf shirts, hats and other items and a basket filled with light bulbs, electronic devices and a DVD player were given to Poland Rotary's Mr. Todd Bury. Over the course of the last few years, Poland Rotary has been instrumental in helping our school reach our "Make-A-Wish" goals. As a way of showing our gratitude, Poland North Elementary School's PTO donated the items to Rotary. They will be auctioned off at this weekend's "Chili Open". Poland Rotary will use all of event's proceeds for their charitable work. It was a very nice way to say "thank you" to this wonderful group and very characteristic of our PTO! Great job.

Thank you,

Mr. Masucci

Inauguration Day!

This is a very special day in the history of the United States of America. Our students learned quite a bit about the Presidency and seemed genuinely excited about the day's events. The school's televisions were tuned in most of the day.

Don't forget about next Monday's Pajama Jam at the Poland Library. Don't forget to wear your pajamas.

Thank you,

Mr. Masucci

A SUPER Day!

Our extra-long weekend has come to an end. The weather seems to have eased up enough for us to get back to work. Tomorrow's historic event will be shown during school. President Obama's Inauguration has excited our country and our students will have the chance to watch it as it unfolds.

There was something else we needed to discuss......hmm.....!? What was it? School....no.....Snow day......no.....Ah yes.................Here We Go Steelers...Here We go! Here We Go Steelers...Here We Go!


Thanks,
Principal Polamalu

Thank You!

I have said many times that I am a very lucky man to work with such a wonderful staff. Once again, they have managed to make my day brighter. They presented me with a very special gift this afternoon for being one of the eleven "Heroes of the Mahoning Valley". This is an award that Poland North Elementary School's students, staff, PTO and parents deserve more than me. The gift is something I have wanted for many years. I am extremely grateful.

Thank you staff! You are the best.

More Snow!

It looks like more snow is heading our way! We are expecting some frigid temperatures, too. With all this cold weather, it hasn't been too hard to think about warm, tropical places. That's exactly what we have been doing as we prepare for Family Technology Night.

Take a look at our "ocean bubble" that will be used during this evening event. As usual, our staff has come together to create this one-of-a-kind activity for our students. I try to update the pictures each day. The link is over to the left.

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci
