Today's News

Today's weather may not have been perfect, but at least it didn't snow. There were still a lot of children out sick today. Let's hope everyone can return to school soon.

I hope the information regarding the Green Team's Placemat Contest made it's way into the hands of adults yesterday. This annual contest for grades 1-4 is a great one. All poster ideas are due back to school by Monday, February 23rd or Friday, February 27th depending what grade your child is in.


Have a great day. There will be a "secret assignment" on tomorrow's VOKI. Shhhhhhh! Let's see how many complete it.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

A Busy Day!

It was just one of those days! Before I knew it, I looked up to find it was almost 2:00 o'clock. That means our little darlings were busy and well behaved today. There were close to 40 kids absent today and quite a few who were sent home because of illness. Let's hope everyone gets healthy.

Be sure to check out the information coming home today about the Green Team's Placemat Contest. Our students can and do win contests like this one. Unfortunately, kindergartners are not able to participate.

Thank you,

Mr. Masucci

Windy Weather!

The windy weather may not have come as a surprise, but it certainly complicated our day. Our 2-hour delay went very smoothly. I'd like to thank everyone for their cooperation.


Today was a busy day. It was our 100th day of school. PTO provided ice cream sundaes as their valentine treats. There were Valentine's Day parties in all of the rooms, too. Needless to say, our students were excited. Good luck during the 4 day weekend!


Because of the delay, today's PTO meeting had to be cancelled. It will not be rescheduled. We'll make up for it in March. Please be sure to mark your calendars. Our next meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. on March 5th.


Happy Valentine's Day!
Mr. Masucci

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

A Short Week

After 1 grueling five day week, we are ready for 2 four day weeks in a row! Our students and staff are looking forward to tomorrow's visit from Crazy George! Thank ou PTO. I'll try to get some pictures of his visit up, too. Our Valentine's Day parties will take place on Thursday, February 12th. In addition, PTO will be providing a treat. Have a wonderful week.

Look for information about a great contest coming home soon!

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
