My Mistake!

I accidentally sent home information about the Tooth Fairy contest that was not correct. All entries are due Monday, February 1st! On the paper that came home, I had Monday being January 31st. With the kind of weather we are having right now, I figured I would make the correction and get us 1 day closer to spring. Sorry for any confusion.

Thank you very much for your support of this year's Book Fair. Mrs. Sabrin and her volunteers deserve the credit for its success.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Limo Lunch!

Thank you for your patience and understanding with today's 2-hour delay. Everything went very well. Most importantly.......our 14 "limo lunchers" had a wonderful time at the Golden Coral. I cannot begin to tell you how well behaved our kids were.

Since today's Book Fair schedule had to be tweaked, I want to let you know that we'll keep it open for a few hours tomorrow morning for anyone who would like to shop. Thanks for your cooperation.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

2-Hour Delay!

Our schools are operating under a 2-hour delay this morning. Our school day will begin at 10:20 a.m. The doors will be open at 9:45 a.m. Our limo lunch is still on! Those participating will have one easy day.

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Thank You PTO!

Today's book fair was a HUGE hit. I'd like to thank all of the moms who volunteered their time today and helped our students shop. I know many of students are looking forward to shopping tomorrow.

Keep your fingers crossed. In a few days, a representative from the Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley will be stooping by to take a look at our courtyard. We are in the running for a $2,000.00 grant to construct a shade structure that will enable our students to work outside, but remain protected from the sun's ultraviolet light. I'll keep you posted!

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

Oops!

I came home from my son's basketball practice and realized....no blog today! I must be slippin'. Tomorrow kicks off our Scholastic Book Fair. I'd like to thank Mrs. Sabrin and her committee for all of their hard work in advance.

Information about a new contest will be sent home tomorrow. Be on the lookout!

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Greetings!

I'd like to thank our PTO volunteers for their help setting up this week's book fair. Mrs. Sabrin has done a wonderful job planning this year's event. There are always a lot of great books. More information was sent home today.

Keep your eyes open for news about a contest Cinema South and our school have teamed up for. I hope all of our students take the time to at least enter. It should be a lot of fun.

Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

Enjoy the Weekend!

I hope everyone enjoys the weekend. Before you know it, Monday will be here. Our PTO's Scholastic Book Fair will take place on Wednesday and Thursday. There will be a lot of great books at even better prices. Look for a schedule to come home early next week.

As many of you know, our greenhouse will become a very busy place in the months to come. There are a lot of plans in the works to make this outdoor area even better for our students. I have applied for close to 15 different grants and am hopeful that we'll receive a few of them. One of the ideas is to create "pizza gardens" that would enable our students to grow some of the ingredients needed to make their own pizzas! My Italian grandfathers would be so proud!

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci
