Great News!

Our Poland Bulldogs managed to pull off yet another victory in tournament play. The Bulldogs defeated the Hubbard Eagles last night to advance to the District Championship on Saturday, March 14th. Coach Grisdale, the staff and players should be congratulated.

Keep your fingers crossed for more good news. Our school should hear within a few days whether or not it has received a $2,800 grant from the Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley. In November, I submitted a grant application for purchasing student response systems. The same systems were used during our Family Technology Nights and generated a lot of excitement for our students.

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

Another Rainy Day!

Looks like the wet weather is back. Did it ever leave? The rain outside made for a calm day. Our Kindergarten and 3rd grade students practiced for their upcoming Spring Program. They sound amazing and will put on a great show. They will perform on April 7th.

There is a menu change this week. On Thursday, a turkey and cheese sub will be offered. In other, more important news, we have ourselves a new cook. Her name is Mrs. Modelski. If you happen to see her, be sure to say hello!

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Monday's News!

This weekend sure was a wet one. At times, it seemed as though the rain may never stop. You'll be happy to know that our building "leak free". Mr. Sofranec and I do tend to worry when that much rain falls in such a short period of time. Most of the building has a flat roof which tends to make things interesting. You may have noticed by now that I really didn't have too much to say today. Consequently, I am sharing these little known facts about rainy weather and our school's flat roof.

Thank you,

Mr. Masucci

Thanks!

I'd like to thank those able to make it out to last night's PTO meeting. I would also like to thank our two guest speakers. Mrs. Michelle Edison spoke to our group and shared wonderful information about a dance program she is affiliated with. Its goal is to teach children the importance of leading a healthy and active lifestyle. In addition, Mr. Dave Watts, President of the Poland Schools Foundations for Educational Excellence, discussed the goals and programs associated with his respected group. As a trustee of the Foundation, I can tell you just how much it does for the students of the Poland Schools. Membership information is available in the school's office.

Have a great weekend!

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

PTO Meeting!

I hope to see as many parents as possible at tonight's PTO meeting. It will begin at 6:30 p.m. Since our last meeting was canceled due to a 2-hour delay, there is quite a bit to discuss. There will be several guests attending, too.

Tomorrow is another "blue and white" day. Let's hope our Poland Bulldogs can chalk up another victory tomorrow night at Boardman High School.

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

Fundraiser!

Our school's spring fundraiser has begun. Your support will be deeply appreciated. I understand the difficult times we are all facing, but hope you are willing and able to support our efforts in some way. All orders, regardless of the size, will be appreciated. The sale will conclude on Friday, March 20th. If you need more information, please refer to the yellow sheet that was sent home yesterday or call the school's office.

Please plan on attending Thursday's PTO meeting. It will begin at 6:30 p.m. If you have been unable to make it to previous meetings because of your work schedule, attend Thursday's meeting.

Thank you,

Mr. Masucci

March

The month of March has arrived. Let's hope the spring weather won't be too far behind. It will be a very busy one here at school. PTO's Father/Daughter Night, Mother/Son Movie Night and the Elementary Art Show will take center stage. We'll also remain very busy inside the greenhouse. Check out the new pictures to see what's growing.

Please plan on attending PTO's monthly meeting this week. It will be held on Thursday, March 5th and begin at 6:30 p.m. I hope to see you there.

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci
