Box Tops!

Information will be making its way home soon about collecting Box Tops! This is an easy way for our school to earn extra money. Many of the products you already have in your homes participate in this unique program. Click here to find out more. Until the information gets to you, simply save as many box tops as you possibly can. Spread the word to family and friends, too.

Quite a few students completed last night's "virtual assignment". Thanks! There will be many more throughout the course of the school year.

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Summer Fun!

Summer is always a lot of fun for me. This summer was no exception. Here is a list of 5 things I did over the summer. After reading it, create your own list. Write 5 things you did over the summer on a piece of paper. Make sure your name and room number are on it. Put it in the yellow box outside of the office tomorrow morning and I'll reward you. Be neat! If needed, parents can help students in kindergarten and 1st grade with the writing.

"5 Things I Did Over the Summer"

1. My family went to Ocean City, Maryland.

2. I saw the New York Yankees play baseball.

3. I built a pizza oven in my backyard. Mmmmm!

4. I probably hurt my knee building the oven.

5. My family and I visited friends in Deep Creek, Maryland.

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

A Rainy Day!

Today certainly has been a soggy day. As the week rolls along, the weather will get better. Friday's Walk Home from School Day should be an absolute perfect day. I'll be getting in touch with our volunteers by Wednesday.
Thank you to those who returned their PTO fundraiser packets. Mrs. Orr was here today to collect them, but will gladly accept forms that didn't make it in today. Your support is appreciated.

Have a great week!

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Enjoy the weekend!

I came across a wonderful story this morning. Click here to read it. After reading it, you may look at the upcoming weekend differently.

I hope to see everyone at tonight's Tailgate Party! Let's hope the Bulldogs come out on top against the Red Dragons. Mrs. Orr and her committee have worked very hard to ensure the evening is a success. I'm sure it will be one our most memorable events of the school year.

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

It's Wednesday!

The middle of the week has arrived! Before you know it, the weekend will be here. YSU tickets were sent home with those who returned their forms. I hope to see a lot of our families at Saturday's game. Go Penguins! Look for another offer this winter for free YSU basketball tickets.

Our Tailgate Party is quickly approaching. It looks like the weather will be on our side. Mrs. Orr has done a wonderful job planning this year's event. Bring a few extra dollars for a chance to win flowerpots decorated by our students. There will be basket raffles, too.

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Thanks!

Thanks to those who were able to make it today's Kindergarten Tea. The stars of the show were full of smiles. I'd also like to thank Mrs. Gesacion and Miss Gura for their hard work. In addition, Mrs. Kellgren and Mrs. Partika made sure everything ran smoothly. Your hard work is appreciated, too.

Be on the lookout for information about our first "Walk Home from School Day" of the new school year. This special day will take place on Friday, October 1st. If the weather is not on our side, I will give you plenty of time to adjust your schedules. Cross your fingers for a dry day!

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci
