It's December!

December has arrived with snow on the ground! Be sure to check the school's calendar for information about upcoming events. This is such an exciting time to year to be around children. Their is a lot of excitement inside our building.

I'd like to thank the Green Team's Peg Flynn and our PTO volunteers for their help with yesterday's "recycled ornament project". There is a great article in today's Vindicator. Be sure to check it out by clicking here.

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

Happy Thanksgiving!

On behalf of our school, I'd like to wish our students, staff and families a Happy Thanksgiving. This is such a special time of year. Enjoy the next few days off.

I am exceptionally proud of our students for bringing in so many canned goods for the Rescue Mission of the Mahoning Valley. In all, over 200 cans were sent in to help those in need. Miss Ryder did an amazing job planning this activity and encouraging her students to participate. Our students and families are always willing to lend a helping hand.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

Gobble...Gobble!

It will certainly be a short week. Please do not forget that conferences will be held tomorrow evening. This is a very good time of year to check on your child's school supplies, too. Please check with your son or daughter to see if they need anything.

I'd like to thank our wonderful PTO in advance for providing our staff with dinner tomorrow night. We certainly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

It's Friday!

It's Friday and the sun is shining. Let's hope the sunshine hangs around for the weekend. I could use at least one more nice day to remove the 73 million leaves in my front yard. Many of you probably feel the same.

On behalf of all our students and staff, I'd like to thank the Gulling and Carbon families for their generosity today. Both families were kind enough to donate bottles of water to the school. I know our students and staff appreciated the gesture.

It will be a short week coming up. We'll have picture retakes on Monday and a visit from the J.J. Brothers on Tuesday. Thank you PTO for the funds needed to have this exciting assembly.

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

Visitation Day!

Wow! It speaks volumes for our community, school and families to see so many parents and grandparents attend today's scheduled visits. I'd like to thank our teachers for their hard work. A day like this is anything but ordinary. They do an amazing job and deserve to be thanked.

Our holiday plates are "under construction". I've provided a sneak peek of Mrs. Hay's plate. Thanks to Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Anness for their help yesterday. Before long, all classrooms will their plates on display in the front showcase. I'll also post pictures on our site. As usual, our PTO will sell raffle tickets for them.

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

Check This Out!

I found these pictures on the Internet this morning. I thought they were rather interesting. The pictures were taken from the International Space Station. The first picture shows Astronaut Tracy Caldwell Dyson inside the International Space Station. The second picture shows the lights of Cairo and Alexandria, Egypt on the Mediterranean. In the third, you can see the lights of Italy and the island of Sicily. The last picture shows two astronauts on a space walk outside the space station. Now that's a field trip!


Don't forget. Tomorrow is Parent Visitation! I hope to see you at school.

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Drip..Drip!

Today turned out to be a rainy day. We cannot complain given the fact that the weather has been so nice. I'm still grateful last week's helicopter visit worked out so well. If you haven't checked out the movie, click on the link to the left.

Plans are being finalized for the upcoming "limo lunch". Eight students were randomly selected to participate in this unique experience. More information will be shared soon. If your fundraiser merchandise was damaged in any way or your order was packed incorrectly, please contact Mrs. Kellgren at 330-707-1614.

Don't forget about Visitation Day on Thursday.

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci
