Attention!

Mr. Wesolowsky has come up with a great idea! Information is heading home today about our "Bowling for Dollars" program. This will be an exciting way to raise money for our building's Make-A-Wish efforts. Participation is strictly voluntary. If you have any questions, please let me know. It should be a lot of fun.


I received confirmation yesterday from Major Robert Tifft that Poland North Elementary School's "request for aerial support" has been approved. In other words, a helicopter is coming! In fact, Major Tifft is planning on having 2 helicopters land behind on our school on Friday, November 20th at 12:30 p.m. At that time, our students will present our guests will hundreds of letters of appreciation! Although the visit will be a few days after Veterans Day, it will still have an impact. Please feel free to stop by and check things out! Keep your fingers crossed for a dry day.


Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

It's November!

Be sure to ask your children what they know about this month's new character trait. If they stumble, ask what kind of insect demonstrates cooperation every day.

Information is heading home today about PTO's latest idea for the holidays. Mrs. Romito has done a great job putting together a project everyone may find useful this time of year. Be sure to read it over. Thank you.

Tomorrow will be a "Red, White and Blue Day" in honor of Election Day. Be sure to get out and vote!

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Happy Halloween!


Thank you PTO Room Parents! Today's treat was appreciated by our students and staff. We should all be thankful for the nice weather. Having an indoor parade is no picnic! I'd also like to thank all of the parents for their patience during our early dismissal. As always, our goal is to make sure each student gets home safely. Be sure to look for pictures from today's parade to be posted soon.

Enjoy the weekend. If you're heading to the game tonight, plan on arriving early. It's going to be very crowded. GO DOGS!

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

A Little Dirt Doesn't Hurt!

I'll take the heat for the muddy shoes! Blame the Yankees. Last night's game was not fun to watch. Consequently, my mind started to race. Whenever that happens, I usually think about something here at school. Since today was "Red Day", we headed outside to create our own red ribbon. Enjoy the pictures! Red Ribbon Week has been great! Our 4th graders had the chance to listen to a special guest, too.



Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Blood Drive!

Information is heading home today about our upcoming American Red Cross Blood Drive. The white envelope making its way home contains all the necessary information. Simply return the enclosed form by next week and I'll take care of the rest. Our students have learned that each donor saves 3 lives! As always, your support is appreciated. This is strictly voluntary and in no way a school fundraiser.

Our 1st graders enjoyed their trip to Whitehouse Fruit Farm today. The weather wasn't perfect, but at least it didn't rain. Thanks for the doughnuts!

Tomorrow is RED Day!

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

It's Tuesday!

Our Red Ribbon Week is off to a great start. I enjoy seeing all of the blue and white today! Mrs. Delasandro invests a lot of time in making this week as memorable as possible. We're lucky to have her. Tomorrow is "color" day. Be sure your children relay the message.

Since the weather will be nice, we'll plan on walking tomorrow afternoon. be sure your children wear comfortable shoes.

Have a great day!
Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

The Weekend has Arrived!

The weeks have been going by very quickly. It's hard to believe Halloween is right around the corner. Our Box Tops contest is going very well. Keep clipping! Remember, each completed sheet is worth $1.00 for our school. Thanks Mrs. Ferrick for all of your hard work.

Since our school will be holding a Community Blood Drive in November, the American Red Cross will be visiting next week to share age-appropriate information with our students and staff. The actual Blood Drive will be held on Monday, November 16th from 3:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. More information will be heading home soon.

Have a great weekend!

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci
