A Great Performance!

Congratulations to our Kindergarten and 3rd Graders! Tonight's performance was absolutely wonderful. I would like to thank Miss Gura, Mrs. Santangelo, Miss Speece, Miss Chrissy, Miss Bridget, Mrs. Hay, Mrs. Baldwin and Dr. Szabo for their hard work. Our students looked and sounded great!

Thank you to all of the parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles who were able to make it! Know that you are appreciated.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

Correction!

The plans for today's walk just didn't materialize with so much going on this morning. Consequently, we will be walking tomorrow afternoon. Let's hope for a nice day.

If you are planning on attending this evening's performance, plan on being here early. Parking will be at a premium. Not only do we have our own crowd coming, but it is baseball season! Students are to stay with their parents in the gym upon their arrival. They are not to go to the classrooms until their teachers instruct them to do so. Thank you for your cooperation.

Our Father/Son Night is scheduled for tomorrow evening. It is going to be a wonderful event! Hope to see you there. Don't forget about Mother/Daughter Night on Friday!

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

A Beautiful Day!

Wow! The weather certainly has changed for the better. Since tomorrow's forecast is a good one, we'll take advantage and walk around the school's property. Be sure to have your child wear appropriate shoes.

Thank you to those who made it to today's PTO meeting. Look for the minutes to be posted soon. Although the school year is winding down, there are many great events and activities planned. Thank you PTO!

The big news of the day........a field trip for the entire school! On Thursday, May 8th, all students and teachers will be heading off to Powers Auditorium to see a production of Disney's "High School Musical"! Although the cost of each ticket is $7.00, students are asked to send in only $2.00. A permission slip and more details will be sent home this week.

Don't forget about tomorrow's Spring Program for Kindergarten and 3rd Grade students. Plan on arriving early. Parking will be an issue. Students are to remain in the gym with their parents until instructed otherwise. There will be a dress rehearsal tomorrow at 10:00 a.m.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

Growing by Leaps and Bounds!

The greenhouse has become a very busy place! Our students have been hard at work transplanting small "plugs", watering and preparing soil. There is nothing wrong with getting your hands dirty! Inside the greenhouse you will find, herb gardens, wave petunias, inpatients, begonias and tomato plants. Within a day or two, there will be a group of pictures you can check out on this site. I will update the pictures regularly so you can see how quickly the plants are growing!

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

More Great News!

Several weeks ago, all students in grades 1-4 worked at home and in school on their entries for the Green Team's Placemat Contest. I am proud to say that our school had more winners in grades 1-4 than any other school! This is quite an accomplishment and one that we should all be proud of. Congratulations to Ben, Kaitlyn, Michael and Kelsey for receiving honors. However, all should be congratulated for their efforts!

A note will be sent home tomorrow with all afternoon kindergarten students asking their parents to bring them to school shortly before 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, April 8th for a dress rehearsal. Their spring program will be that same evening at 6:00 p.m. and every practice helps! Once here, the afternoon students will be able to stay the remainder of the day. They will be able to bring a packed lunch and eat with Miss Gura in their classroom. More details will be included in the letter.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci
