Volunteers Needed!

Our Radio Disney event is quickly approaching. I am looking forward to a wonderful evening. The following evening, February 6th, is PSHS's Sweetheart Dance. The dance takes place in the gym, too. Because we will be there Friday night, the PSHS decorating committee will be unable to get their work finished. In a nutshell, I am looking for some parent volunteers who are willing to stay after our party and help decorate for the high school dance. We'll be joined by PSHS's Mrs. Stacy and some of her students. I really do not think it should take too long. If you are able to help, please send in a note. Thanks in advance.

I did receive a call from Radio Disney yesterday.......... and I now have a secret!
Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Information Superhighway!

I recently received some information regarding our building's website. From December 2008 to December 2009, our site was viewed close to 30,000 times. There were visits from quite a few countries including Brazil, Japan, India, Canada, Australia and Latvia! We are working on making it easier for our teachers to update their pages. Right now the school's security settings make it very difficult to make changes to the site.

Be sure to check the "virtual" Mr. Masucci in the upper right corner of this page for an assignment tonight!

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

A 5 Day Week?

It appears we'll have a 5 day week. I'm not sure who planned this, but I will be taking the matter up with the proper officials.


I'd like to thank those who attended Saturday night's Youngstown Phantom game at the Covelli Center. Between the tickets sold here at school and donations collected at the game, our school walked away with close to $300.00 toward our Make-A-Wish efforts. Thank you! Our limo lunch has been rescheduled for Thursday, January 28th. I'll be sending notes home with the kids who will be participating today or tomorrow.


I mentioned last week that I had good news. Poland North Elementary School has received a $2,000 grant from the Ohio Department of Education. This Team Nutrition Grant will enable our school to host an upcoming evening event geared toward educating students and parents about proper nutrition.

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Snow Day!

There is no school today. Enjoy the long weekend. It looks like a great day to go sled riding.

Let It Snow!

It looks like the snow is going to be piling up! As a result, I have cancelled tonight's PTO Meeting. I don't want anyone to have to be out tonight. We may not have school tomorrow. Keep your eyes and ears on this site and our local radio and television stations.

I have some more great news about our school. I'll share it with you on Monday. Enjoy what may be a long weekend.

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Under the Weather!

For someone who is rarely sick, I sure was down for the count today. Today's message is being sent from my couch where I am wrapped in a blanket. I do hope to be back tomorrow.

Technology is great. From home, I am able to make sure everything is going well and also listen to any messages. With that said, hockey tickets are still available. In fact, all of my messages today were regarding ticket requests. I spoke with Ashley from the Mahoning Valley Phantoms about Saturday's game. Tickets will be delivered soon. As soon as I get my hands on them, I will send them home with those who have turned in orders.

Don't forget about tomorrow's PTO Meeting. It will begin at 6:30 p.m. and be held in the library

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Quarter Day!

Tomorrow is going to be "Quarter Day"! I am encouraging all of our students and staff to bring in at least 1 quarter for our Make-A-Wish jug.

Mahoning Valley Phantom tickets continue to be on sale for Saturday night's game. Tickets cost $7.50 each. $3.00 of each one sold with go toward our wish efforts. Thank you Phantoms!

Be sure to ask your children about today's "Lights, Camera, Action" program. It was outstanding.

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci
