One of Those Days!

When I post the day's blog after 4:00 p.m., you'll know it's been a rough day. Tomorrow is Friday. I think we could all use a few days off. Tomorrow is also going to be "Blue and White" day. Get those Poland Bulldogs shirts ready.

The tickets to Saturday's game in Pittsburgh arrived this afternoon. I'll fill orders tomorrow and send the tickets home with our students. Go BUCS!

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

How Does Your Garden Grow?

Our courtyard has produced quite a few flowers and vegetables this summer. This giant sunflower grew right outside Mrs. Gunn's classroom windows. A few weeks ago it was in full bloom and brightened up the whole courtyard. Now that is has finished blooming, a portion of it has been cut and is making its way to all of our classrooms for further investigation!

There will soon be quite a few pictures posted of this year's harvest. Be sure to check them out. The link will be on the left-hand side of this page.

Don't forget to get those Pirate ticket requests in by Friday, Spetember 18th. Go BUCS!

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

Take Me Out to the Ballgame!

The Pittsburgh Pirates and Poland North Elementary School have developed a wonderful relationship over the years. The fact that the Pirates are not the hottest team in baseball certainly helps. I was contacted today and offered 600 free tickets to Saturday's game with the San Diego Padres. The game will start at 12:35 p.m. If you, your relatives, your neighbors, your gardener or your coworkers would like tickets, please let me know as soon as possible.

Information regarding PTO's Fall Fundraiser was sent home today. Please consider supporting their efforts. The money generated from this goes a long way for our students. Thanks in advance.

Thank you,

Mr. Masucci

It's MONDAY!

Our first Monday together! Can you feel the excitement in the air? Mondays are typically very busy.

I was thrilled to see so many families at Poland's home opener. Our Bulldogs are looking pretty good!

In a few weeks, our PTO will be hosting a Tailgate Party prior to the game against Chaney. If you are interested in helping out or learning more about this wonderful event, stop by the Poland Library Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. for a short meeting.

Tomorrow is our Parent Orientation. This event is for parents only. Please do not bring your children. We'll be begin at 6:00 p.m. Those who attend will have a chance to learn more about our school, meet our teachers and visit our classrooms.

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

The Weekend has Arrived!

We have all made it through the first week of school! Overall, everything has gone well. Thank you for your patience and support. I know it's been a bit difficult keeping track of all the papers coming home. The upcoming week will have a lighter load.

I hope to see many of our students an families at tonight's football game. Our Poland Bulldogs will look to start the season 3-0. The new stadium is absolutely amazing. Go DOGS!

I almost forgot!....................PITTSBURGH STEELERS 13..Tennessee Titans 10

Thank you,

Mr. Polamalu

ThankYou!

Today's PTO meeting went exceptionally well. There were over 35 parents who were able to make it. I cannot tell you how fortunate our school is to have this kind of support. Many upcoming events and projects were discussed. In addition, the budget was approved for the year.

Entertainment Books are making their way home today. These are really nice to have and provide a lot of savings to families. If you want to purchase one, feel free. If not, simply return the book to school.

Our PTO fundraiser will begin on Tuesday, September 15th. Please consider supporting it. It will generate the funds needed for many of year's activities and events.

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

2 Down.....178 to Go!

Today was another busy day! Before you know it, our first week of school will be behind us. So far things have gone well. Please be sure to check backpacks for important information. There are many papers that need to be filled out and returned to school. Thanks for your cooperation.

I hope you plan on attending tomorrow's PTO meeting. We'll begin at 9:00 a.m. in Room 102. Hope to see you there.

Your children will be bringing home Entertainment Booklets tomorrow that are loaded with great coupons. If you use only a few pages from the book, it really does pay for itself. The booklets will be sold for $30.00. If you're not interested, simply return the book to school. More information will head home tomorrow.

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci
