A Busy Day!

I'd like to thank family, friends and neighbors for making it to our 4th graders' "Recycling Program" this afternoon. Ms. Vasko and Mrs. Kaschak did a wonderful job guiding their students. I'd also like to thank the Green Team's Peg Fylnn for participating. Information was shared about recycling and saving our Earth. Like our 4th graders say, "There is no Planet B!"

Mrs. Orr, Mrs. Garcia and Mrs. Smith will be here tomorrow to finish up our holiday plates. Tickets for the finished products can be purchased for $1.00 beginning Monday, December 14th.

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

It's Monday!

I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend. The temperature certainly is a reminder that winter is here to stay. Please be sure your children are wearing warm coats to school. Students will go out for recess unless the temperature drops below 20 degrees. On chilly days, we may have students go out for a short period of time in order to release a little energy. Your support is appreciated.

There is a new addition to our school's lobby. Be sure you ask your children about it tomorrow.

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

Enjoy the Weekend!

I hope everyone enjoys the weekend. The weather may allow me to get a few more million leaves out of my yard before I toss up the Christmas lights.

Please plan on attending Thursday's PTO luncheon. I know it is a busy time of year, but there will be a lot to discuss. There will be something very special going on next week. I'm pretty good at keeping secrets, so keep your eyes on this site.

There may be a few dancing elves showing up on the site soon. Stay tuned!

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

It's Almost Friday!

The weekend is almost here! Thank goodness. It's been a very busy week. I guess that tends to happen in December.

My family is having two 4th graders, Monica and Katelyn, over for dinner tonight. They participated in a recent contest and had their names drawn to eat with the Masucci family...even Riley. They'll quickly find that our house is pretty boring. Four more students will be joining us in the weeks to come.

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

A Busy Day!

Wow! Today was exceptionally busy. I finally am getting to today's message. Dinner is almost ready, so it's going to be short. I'm hungry.

As you know, our PTO is amazing. I'd like to thank all of the devoted mothers who helped out with Santa's Workshop today. They worked hard all day long and showed an incredible amount of patience. If any students forgot to thank you, allow me to do it again. THANKS!

Mrs. Garcia and Mrs. Orr showed their true colors today! (Don't worry...no Cyndi Lauper song) Thanks to them, and a little help from Mrs. Thompson, our annual holiday plates are taking shape. These little works of art will be raffled off soon. I'll post pictures in a day or two.

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

Get Busy!

There is an assignment tonight for those daring enough to complete it. Below is a list of 10 things you may not know about me. I'd love to have students make their own lists and share them with me. Students who create their own list with 5 or more things will be rewarded on Wednesday! Be sure names are on the papers and placed in the mailbox outside my office by 8:30 a.m. BE NEAT!

"10 Things You May Not Know About Mr. Masucci"

1. I love to make homemade ravioli.

2. Both my parents were elementary school teachers.

3. My favorite restaurant is Tutti Italia in EPCOT Center.

4. I love to cut the grass!

Welcome Back!

It was very nice to see so many smiling faces this morning. It's never easy to go back to work after a few days off, but coming back here is a little different. I'm a very lucky person.

Santa's Workshop will begin Wednesday, December 2nd. Information about the PTO's annual event was sent home last week. An additional price sheet will be heading home tomorrow from S & T Engraving. Representatives will be selling everything from Poland baseball hats to Poland rulers. This local business always supports our efforts and will donate 10% of all sales back to our PTO. Thank you in advance for your support.

Don't forget about our upcoming PTO Meeting on the 10th! It will begin at 11:00 a.m.

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci
