A Short Week


After 1 grueling five day week, we are ready for 2 four day weeks in a row! Our students and staff are looking forward to tomorrow's visit from Crazy George! Thank ou PTO. I'll try to get some pictures of his visit up, too. Our Valentine's Day parties will take place on Thursday, February 12th. In addition, PTO will be providing a treat. Have a wonderful week.

Look for information about a great contest coming home soon!
Thank you,

Nick Eason Visits North!

Wow!!.......We had ourselves one exciting day! Nick Eason of the Pittsburgh Steelers spent several hours visiting with our students and staff. He began his visit in the gym where he was greeted by a sea of black and gold. He talked about his NFL career, but spent as much time stressing the importance of a getting a good education, working hard and respecting others. Each homeroom was encouraged to think of three good questions to ask our guest. As the morning progressed, he made his way through each and every classroom, posed for countless pictures, signed autographs for our students and staff and answered a lot of good questions. In case you are wondering what his favorite food is, I'll share........"Just about anything on my plate."

Nick also signed a Super Bowl XLIII football and pennant for "the students of Poland North Elementary". Look for a great story in tomorrow's Vindicator and an upcoming one in the Town Crier. There may also be a story on tonight's news courtesy of WKBN! I'd like to thank Nick for a great visit, Mr. Jim Battaglia for helping make the visit happen and our local media for the wonderful coverage!

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

Family Technology Night

Family Technology Night has arrived! All of the plans have come together and much of the day has been spent putting the "final touches" on a few of tonight's activities. Please plan on arriving no later than 6:00 p.m. The evening's activities will begin at 6:00 sharp!

Our PTO's Book Fair was a huge success. I'd like to thank Mrs. Sabrin, Mrs. Clemente and their committee for their help. There were a lot of wonderful books available.

Book Fair!

Mrs. Sabrin and her committee have done an amazing job setting up and organizing this year's book fair. There are some wonderful books available at very reasonable prices. I shared a few of the books this morning in the gym. Ask your children about them! Rooms 109, 107, 110, 104, 202 and 105 will all visit tomorrow. The remaining rooms will have the opportunity to shop on Thursday.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

Spring?

Looks like our friendly groundhog to the east is telling us spring is not in our immediate future! With another storm rumored to be heading our way, it looks like winter is here to stay. February is always a busy month. PTO's book fair will begin on Wednesday, February 4th. Information regarding the book fair was sent home a few weeks ago. Call if you have any questions.

I'd like to thank Mike Tomlin, Santonio Holmes, James Harrison, Ben Roethlisberger and the Cardinal's offensive line for a wonderful Super Bowl. Go Steelers!

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

Here's the Scoop!

Another short week has come to an end. Although we just dug ourselves out from the snow, it looks like another storm may be headed our way. If you are heading to the YSU Basketball games of Saturday, please be careful. I hope to attend, too. Let's hope the Penguins can chalk up a victory.


There is a very nice article in this week's Town Crier about our school's new physical fitness equipment. Our school continues to be very fortunate to have such outstanding coverage.


Enjoy the weekend! Lets hope for 2 things:


1. That Mr. Groundhog doesn't see his shadow on Monday.
2. That the Steelers win the Super Bowl!
