Keepin' Busy

We're all managing to keep busy during this very special time of year. Our halls are filled with the sounds of our 1st and 2nd graders as they prepare for their upcoming holiday performance. Santa's Workshop wraps up today. I'd like to thank our PTO for another job well done. Thanks to those that were able to make it last night's Holiday Shopping Night, too. Your continued support is appreciated.

After a little bit of confusion, we have ourselves a red kettle! A representative from the Salvation Army stopped by yesterday, apologized for the delay and set up the kettle in our lobby. We'll be collecting change today and Monday morning. If you listen hard enough, you may hear the sounds of the bell ringing throughout our hallways!

The Poland Bulldogs open up their basketball season tonight against the Springfield Tigers at PSHS. Let's hope for another great season. GO DOGS!

Thank you,

Mr. Masucci

Tickets and GREAT NEWS!

Tickets for our holiday plates will go on sale starting tonight during PTO's Holiday Shopping Night. Tickets will cost $1.00 or 6 for $5.00. Beginning tomorrow, they will be sold during lunch. They will also be on sale during our Holiday Program on Tuesday, December 16th.

I have some wonderful news to share. Each year the Mahoning Chapter of the American Red Cross honors individuals and groups from our community that make a difference. This year one of our students will be honored and recognized as a hero in the community. During last year's Make-A-Wish campaign, she raised close to $500.00 and donated every penny to our school's efforts. In doing so, she inspired others to give and helped us reach our goal of collecting $6,000.00. Congratulations Paige!

Thank you,

Mr. Masucci

Santa's Workshop

Today was the first day of Santa's Workshop. I'd like to thank Mrs. Clemente, Mrs. Morrison and their committee for their hard work. Our students always enjoy shopping during this very special time of year. Tomorrow will be our the Holiday Shopping Night. Please plan on stopping by between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. Bring a friend or two and help support our local businesses.

Tomorrow afternoon 5 students will be heading to Mill Creek Park to decorate the Make-A-Wish Foundation's holiday tree. Thanks again to those who made ornaments.

Thank you,

Mr. Masucci

P.S. I do know all those dance moves!

Happy Thanksgiving!

During this very special time of year, it is easy to see just how fortunate we are here at Poland North Elementary School. Enjoy your time with family and friends in the upcoming days. They are wonderful reminders of things we should be thankful for.

Classes will resume on Monday, December 1st. Don't forget about bringing in some spare change on Tuesday, December 2nd for the Salvation Army.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Mr. Masucci

1 More Day!

You cannot help but feel the excitement in the air. Our students and staff are looking forward to Thanksgiving and a few days off. Gobble ...Gobble!

Thank you to those who took the time to make ornaments for the Make-A-Wish Foundation's holiday tree. It was nice to see so many turned in. I know that they will make the tree look great.

Keep saving your spare change. The Salvation Army's red kettle will be here on Tuesday, December 2nd. Please consider sending some spare change to school that day.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

Enjoy the weekend.

Let's Give Thanks!

It certainly was a busy day in our 1st grades. The students spent the afternoon traveling to different stations set up in their classrooms. Pilgrim and Indian Day has been a tradition here for many years. Mrs. Resch and Mrs. Metzger planned a wonderful afternoon. Thank you to the parents who were able to donate their time to help. Gobble..Gobble. Look for an article in next week's Town Crier.

Our 3rd graders completed a service project that will make Thanksgiving a little nicer for those less fortunate. Their colorful placemats will be delivered to the Rescue Mission this afternoon. In addition, Mrs. Baldwin and Mrs. Hay will drop off the canned goods that were sent. Thank you parents for your generosity.

Attention 4th graders..... Ms. Vasko and Mrs. Kaschak have put a great "extra credit" question about Ohio on their pages. Be sure to take advantage of the bonus points. They may end up having a positive effect on your grade!

Thank you,

Mr. Masucci
