Kindergarten Tea

Today's Kindergarten Tea was a huge success. Miss Gura and Miss Shurilla did a wonderful job preparing their students. I would also like to thank Mrs. Sabrin and her committee for a job well done. It was nice to see so many parents and grandparents able to attend. Because of you, our school is a better place. Be sure to check out the pictures!

In conjunction with Poland's Wellness Policy and our own building's program, all students and staff will be walking tomorrow afternoon. Be sure your children wear comfortable shoes. This will mark the third year of this program. It is something our students enjoy and a great way to encourage everyone to lead healthy, active lifestyles.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

The Weekend!

It's been a short week! We are still accepting fundraiser forms. Please consider selling a few items this weekend. This PTO fundraiser provides the funds for so many of our school's special events. Your support is both needed and appreciated.

Our Tailgate Party will be held on Friday, September 26th. There will be a variety of baskets filled with different items that will be raffled off. The Webkinz Basket generated a lot of buzz today! Look for information coming home next week about purchasing tickets.

Have a great weekend.

Attention 3rd Grade Parents!

All 3rd grade students will be taking the 3rd Grade Reading Achievement Test on Monday, October 6th. The test will be administered again in the Spring along with a Math Achievement Test. While there is no perfect way to prepare for the test, the 2 links on the left side of this homepage can help. Please take some time and look them over with your children. The test results will be sent home in November. If you have any questions, please feel free to call.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

Great News!

There is a very nice article in today's newspaper about students in our school. Over the years, we have developed a wonderful working relationship with the Vindicator. Be sure to take a look at it.

Students in Grades K-3 attended a safety program this morning. The Officer Phil Program has visited our school for many years. The safety messages are clear and entertaining for our students. Please talk about the visit with your children tonight. There will be pictures posted soon.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

Windy Weather!

Last night's windy weather certainly caused a lot of damage in our community. Our school did not have power until a little after 5:00 p.m. on Monday. As it stands right now, there will be school tomorrow, September 16th. With so many families still without telephone service, help to spread the word if you can. If something happens overnight that causes school to be canceled again tomorrow, please be tuned in to our local television and radio stations.

We'll be sure to reschedule the Kindergarten Tea as soon as possible.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci
