Today's Forecast!

It looks like we may be getting some snow today! In the event of a delay or closing, be sure to listen to local radio stations or watch local programming.

I hope that the weather will not keep people away from tonight's Holiday Shoppe. Each vendor has paid our PTO a flat fee to set up a table. Please try to stop by and support many of our community's local businesses.

Keep your eyes on the Youngstown Vindicator for a story about our school. Several days ago, the Vindicator's Denise Dick contacted me and said she had discovered our school's website. She was very impressed and asked if she could run a story on it. It should be in the paper soon!

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

Thank you PTO!

Today marked the first day of holiday shopping! Thank you to all of the PTO members who helped with making this year's workshop such a success. I would be willing to bet that many of our students will soon be busy wrapping and hiding the gifts they purchased today. All students will have another opportunity to shop tomorrow.

Remember.....Our school's Holiday Shoppe is tomorrow evening from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. There are going to be 15 local vendors here with merchandise on display. Please try to stop in and support local businesses and our PTO.

Thank you,

Mr. Masucci

A Great Week!

It has been a wonderful start to a busy week! It's not even 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday and we have already been handed $200.00 for our Make-A-Wish efforts. Yesterday was unbelievable! In all, over $1,200.000 was donated. Thank you. Our students are really getting excited about our progress!


Our PTO's Holiday Shoppe will be held here at school on Thursday from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. We were fortunate to have the information placed on the message board underneath Poland's clock tower for all to see. I hope you can stop by to see the merchandise that many local vendors will have on display. Please spread the word and bring a friend!



Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Great News!

With only 10 school days left before our break, your children sure will be busy. Keep your eye on our school's calendar for upcoming events and be sure to look for important papers coming home each day.

It was nice to see two of our students have poems published in the MiniPage this weekend. Keep 'em coming!

Late last week our school was notified that for the third time in the last five years Poland North Elementary School's students have been awarded the American Red Cross Mahoning Chapter's Heroes of the Mahoning Valley Award. Much more information regarding the award will be sent home with all students on Monday. Congratulations!

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

Brrrr!

It looks like we are in store for a very cold day!

Congratulations to our 4 fourth graders who represented themselves, their families and their school very well last night at the annual Mahoning County 24 Challenge Tournament. Their willingness to try something new and go above and beyond what is expected sets a wonderful example for all of our students. I'd also like to thank the parents and Ms. Vasko for taking the time out of their busy schedules in order to get to the event.

Don't forget that YSU Basketball ticket information is due tomorrow. You'll receive your free tickets as soon as YSU's representative drops them off at school.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

A Snowy Day

When my phone rang this morning shortly after 6:00 a.m., I couldn't help but think.....SNOW DAY! It does look nice outside but puts a lot more pressure on me to get the house decorated!

During our morning announcements, I continued to encourage all students to write poems for the Vindicator's Mini Page. It is a nice way for your children to practice writing skills and could lead to having their poems published. There is a mailbox outside the office for all finished poems. Each week I collect them and mail them to the Vindicator. Be sure that each poem includes a title, the name and grade level of the poet and name of our school. This is a great month to think ahead and write poems about New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr., sports and the weather.

A Nice Day

It's been a very quiet day.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci
