A Great Day!

Today's visit from our friends in Johnstown, PA was enjoyed by everyone. I was thrilled to see so many members of our community at school. Mayor Sicafuse, Chief Beatty and many others seemed to enjoy the helicopter visit as much as our students and staff. There is a wonderful article in Saturday's Vindicator.

Look for pictures and video to be posted on our site soon.

I cannot say enough about the Marine's kindness and cooperation. Their interaction with all of the students was amazing. Before taking off for the journey home, Major Tifft said, "Mr. Masucci...You can count on us again next year. This was great!"

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

Visitation Day!

From what I hear, Visitation Day went very well. It's always nice to have parents in the building. I'm sorry I missed this special day, but am home nursing a sore knee. I had surgery yesterday to repair it. I woke up today thinking I could come in. However, 1 step forward and my own common sense put that thought right back on the couch. I hope to be in tomorrow.

Tomorrow's weather looks good for our helicopter visit! Please try to stop by.

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

Radio Disney!

Our Radio Disney passes are flying out the door. Passes will continue to be made available to Poland North families only until November 30th. After this date, I will seek out "North Alumni" and offer passes to them. Be sure to get yours soon.

It looks like Friday's weather may cooperate. Hope to see you at school. The Marines will arrive at 12:30 p.m.

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

A Busy Week!

Today's Blood Drive will begin at 3:00 p.m. and end at 7:00 p.m. If you are willing to donate, please plan on stopping by. Walk-ins are always welcome.

Our 4th Graders are collecting used telephone books this week and next. It's amazing how many you can accumulate over the years. If you have one you really do not need, send it to school. Thanks!

Our Radio Disney passes have arrived! We've handed out close 10 100 already. Thanks to those who have made a donation. It is appreciated. Our "Magical Celebration" is only 80 days away!

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

A Great Trip!

Our 4th Grade class had a beautiful day to explore the Mahoning Landfill. They had the opportunity to learn about the landfill's role in the community, to see different machines used to move, compact and level trash and to see man-made wetlands that turn polluted water into purified water. Enjoy the pictures.



Our school will be recycling telephone books next week. If you have any around the house that are not being used, send them to school! Thanks!

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Thank You!

Thank you bowlers! During our "Bowling for Dollars" days, our school raised a little over $400 .00 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Thanks to Mr. Wesolowsky and Camelot Lanes for their time and efforts, too. Our very own Poland Bulldog made a surprise visit this morning and even took a moment to bowl in front of an excited crowd. It's hard to fit paws into a bowling ball! Our staff were wonderful sports, too. The Poland North Elementary School Staff Bowling Team would be hard to beat!

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

P.S. Be sure to ask about "Mix It Up" Day!

Veterans Day!

Today is a very special day! I spent a considerable amount of time during morning announcements sharing facts about Veterans. There is much to learn. Click here to explore a website that provides quite a bit of valuable information. Our students are wrapping up their letter writing this week. Our helicopter visit is only 9 days away. I hope you can make it, too.

All fundraiser items should be picked up tomorrow between 2:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. All orders must be picked up and cannot be left here overnight. Please make the appropriate arrangements.

If anyone is interested in helping out at Monday's Blood Drive, I would appreciate it. I need just a few volunteers for an hour or two. Please let me know.

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci
