A New Month!

October brings with it a new character trait from our Core Essentials Program. This month's trait is "Initiative". Click here to learn more about the program. Ask your children what they remember about today's story. At the beginning of each month, I share a story about an animal that demonstrates that month's trait. Today's story was about a beaver.

Our first "Walk Home from School Day" was a huge success. A big thank you to the parents and grandparents who volunteered to walk. Days like this are possible because of you. Enjoy the pictures.


Thank you,
Mr. Masucci

Box Tops!

Information about our school's Box Tops program is heading home today. Please make an attempt to collect as many as possible. It truly can make an enormous difference for our building. Students and classrooms that collect the most will definitely be rewarded. Click here to play a game that can land our school a ton of bonus points!

Click here to watch Mrs. Saculla receive the Giant Eagle Class Act Award.

Please plan on attending Tuesday evening's PTO Meeting. It will begin at 6:30 p.m. Hope you can make it.

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

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
