Can you imagine how colorful our school is going to be in the spring? Thanks to
American Beauty Landscaping's Roger Meyers and our friends from Home Depot our students planted close to 400 iris, tulip and hyacinth bulbs. As usual, the Home Depot's Chris Martin was kind enough to make sure we had everything we needed. The day began with Mr. Meyers speaking to all of our students and staff and teaching them quite a bit about bulbs. His background as a teacher led him to bring in a few visual aids, too. Afterwards, each classroom went to work! Bulbs were planted in the courtyard and around the school's sign. Our students can now take a sense of ownership in the way the school will look in the spring.
We had other special guests, too. The Green Team's Peg Flynn stopped by to check things out. The Green Team continues to support our efforts here at Poland North Elementary School. In addition, WKBN's Rich Morgan was here. Look for footage of today's activity to be on both WYTV and WKBN. We were told to watch the 6:00 news! Look for articles in the both the Vindicator and Town Crier, too.
I cannot thank our guests enough. Because of their generosity, lasting memories were made for all of our students. I'd also like to thank our local media for being here. Your continued support is deeply appreciated.
Thank you,
Mr. Masucci
Our BoxTops contest is going exceptionally well. Thank you for taking the time cut those little rectangles out. If you need more sheets to glue them on, please let your child's teacher know. We'll be sure to get them to you. To date, our PTO has earned over $440.00! The contest will run for a few more weeks, so keep them coming. Click here to see a list of all participating products. The homeroom which collects the most will earn a pizza party. For now, Miss Shurilla's class is in the lead. However, Mrs. Baldwin's 3rd graders are hot on their heels.

We'll be working outside tomorrow. Consequently, there will be a "slight" chance that Poland North Elementary School's master gardeners will get a bit dirty. It may not be the best day to wear new outfits!
Take a look at the video link at www.vindy.com. Just click on Poland North Elementary. On Wednesday, footage was taken of Mrs. Saculla's class actually making their music video. The video will be completed next week and entered in a contest.
