PTO Meeting!

Please try to attend tomorrow's PTO meeting. It will be held at 9:00 a.m. in Room 102. The PTO will be very busy in the upcoming weeks and months. It is hard to believe that February is just about half way over.
3rd and 4th grade students will soon be bringing home a great deal of information about the OAT (Ohio Achievement Tests). Please begin taking a look at the links located in the upper left-hand corner of this page. The websites have proven to be helpful as our students prepare for these tests.
Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Crazy George!

Crazy George was a HUGE hit! Our students really enjoyed the show and were actively involved. Thank you PTO for this very special treat. Be sure to ask your children about their extra special afternoon. These two walked away with their own basketballs.

Don't forget about Thursday's PTO meeting. I hope you are able to attend. We'll begin at 9:00 a.m.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

Nick Eason Visits North!

Wow!!.......We had ourselves one exciting day! Nick Eason of the Pittsburgh Steelers spent several hours visiting with our students and staff. He began his visit in the gym where he was greeted by a sea of black and gold. He talked about his NFL career, but spent as much time stressing the importance of a getting a good education, working hard and respecting others. Each homeroom was encouraged to think of three good questions to ask our guest. As the morning progressed, he made his way through each and every classroom, posed for countless pictures, signed autographs for our students and staff and answered a lot of good questions. In case you are wondering what his favorite food is, I'll share........"Just about anything on my plate."

Nick also signed a Super Bowl XLIII football and pennant for "the students of Poland North Elementary". Look for a great story in tomorrow's Vindicator and an upcoming one in the Town Crier. There may also be a story on tonight's news courtesy of WKBN! I'd like to thank Nick for a great visit, Mr. Jim Battaglia for helping make the visit happen and our local media for the wonderful coverage!

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci
