Back to School!

I hope everybody enjoyed their break! Returning to school is never easy. However, the end is near. Once the Ohio Achievement Tests are completed next week, the finish line will be in sight!

All 3rd graders will be taking their Reading Achievement Test tomorrow. The Math Achievement Test will be administered on Thursday. Be sure your children get plenty of rest and eat a healthy breakfast before heading to school.

Please let me know if your family is interested in tickets for the Mahoning Valley Thunder game on Friday, May 8th. Information was recently sent home. If you have any questions, please let me know.

I have more ticket news, but just cannot share it yet!

Here are a few hints.....baseball......Pittsburgh......PNC Park!

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

Spring Break!

Spring Break has arrived! I hope everyone enjoys the days off and returns to school ready to wind up our year. If you are heading out of town, have a wonderful time and stay safe. My son and I are heading to New York to see a few baseball games. My girls have their own plans involving nail polish, glitter and shopping.

Be sure to take a look at the calendar page to see when our 3rd and 4th graders will be taking their Achievement Tests. In addition, check out the pictures of some of our most recent events. Links are to the left.

Have a Happy Easter!

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

Thank you......Thank you very much!

Congratulations to our kindergarten and 3rd Grade students for an amazing performance last night. This year's Spring Program was one of our absolute bests. It's not every day that Elvis makes an appearance. He was great, but it was our students who stole the show. I'd like to thank and congratulate our staff, too. As usual, they went above and beyond and helped make the night a memorable one for their students.

Don't forget about the Entertainment Books I have. Any student who brings in 4 canned goods will receive a book. The coupons inside are good until November. All of the food collected will be donated to a local charity.

I hear there are flamingos on the move. Watch out!

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

A Busy Day!

Today was a very busy day. Between our dress rehearsal this morning and the visit from the Mahoning Valley Thunder this afternoon, time flew by. Be sure to check out the pictures of the Thunder visit!

WKBN stopped by this morning and filmed a little bit of our Spring Program. Be sure to watch the news tonight to catch a glimpse.

After a day like today, I can tell you one thing....................I need a vacation.

2 more days of school!

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Brrrrr! .............On April 6th?

This weather is driving me just about crazy. How our the New York Yankees supposed to open up their season today in these cold temperatures? Looks like the white stuff might reappear, too.


Tomorrow's Spring Program will be one for the ages! Our students and staff have worked very hard to put together an outstanding program. There will be a dress rehearsal tomorrow morning to iron out a few wrinkles. The actual performance will take place at 6:00 p.m. Bring a few extra dollars for PTO's basket raffles.


In addition to the spring program, a few of the Mahoning Valley Thunder football players will be stopping by. The original plan was to have them join us on our monthly walk. Looks like we're on to plan B. They will be here to get everyone excited about the upcoming "Poland North Elementary Night" at the Chevrolet Center. Fliers will be coming home tomorrow with more details. Keep Friday, May 8th open on your calendars.

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

This is for the Birds!

Believe it or not, but a flock of flamingos has been sighted in Poland, Ohio! Twelve beautiful birds were photographed at Mr. Sofranec's house late last night. Mr. Sofranec was unaware of their arrival. From what I hear, they were caught early this morning. However, they escaped and were last seen flying south. Be on the lookout!

Be sure to check out the new pictures in our greenhouse album. Today was another busy day for our young gardeners.

Have a great weekend.

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

PTO News!

Our PTO held its annual meeting this morning. The American Cancer Society's Bridgett Savage visited and shared information about this summer's Relay for Life. "Team North" is off to an amazing start! Be sure to check out our school's team page.

Next year's officers were elected. Tammy Sabrin will be President. Heather Sandy will serve as Vice-President. Diane Kluchar will remain Treasurer. Melissa Kellgren will serve as Recording Secretary and Callie Kopp will be Corresponding Secretary. Thank you all. Our current officers need to be thanked, too. Their leadership and devotion to the students of Poland North Elementary is admirable.

It's Report Card Day tomorrow!

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci
