Family Night!

Our plans for the 3rd and 4th grade Family Night are coming together nicely. Guests will travel to three different stations set up throughout the building. One of the stations will be led by Mr. Chaz Kellem. Chaz is a friend of mine who works for the Pittsburgh Pirates. He is an amazing individual who will surprise all who attend with his positive attitude on life. In addition, guests will experience an "Earth Dome". Check out this link to learn more. Get those invitations in!

All YSU Basketball ticket order are due Thursday.

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Back to Work!

Our first day back to school went exceptionally well. It may have taken a bit longer than usual, but smiling faces filled our hallways. We'll all be back in the swing of things before you know it.

Information is heading home today with 3rd and 4th graders about our upcoming Family Night scheduled for Wednesday, January 12th. Please return invitations as soon as possible. I look forward to a great evening.

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Merry Christmas!

From all of us here at Poland North Elementary School, I'd like to wish our students, staff and families a very Merry Christmas! It was a wonderful day. Our students were filled with holiday cheer. In other words, they never stopped talking!

Thanks to our wonderful PTO, hot chocolate and candy canes were passed out to all. Despite a very busy schedule, Santa Claus made it to many of our classrooms. He was greeted with smiles from ear to ear.

Happy Holidays!

Busy.. Busy...Busy!

Today was busy. there is simply no other way to put it. We started the day with a visit from PSHS's Seminary Singers. As usual, they did an amazing job. This year's group is an extremely talented one. Afterwards, our 1st and 2nd graders performed. With the help of Dr. Szabo, they put the final touches on this evening program. It will be gin at 6:00 pm. sharp. Students are to remain with their families until instructed to head to their classrooms.

After lunch, our students were treated to a puppet show by Sadecky's Puppets. Thank you PTO for providing the funds necessary for the visit.

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

A Busy Week!

Next week certainly will be busy and exciting for our students and staff. While it may be a bit noisier the next few days, I consider it a blessing to be able to be around your children this time of year. (I consider the upcoming days off a blessing, too.)

Ticket sales are going well for this year's Holiday Plates. Because of the day off this week, winning tickets will be drawn during Wednesday's morning announcements. Winners will be notified with a telephone call.

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Our week is already winding down. The 2nd grade classes are looking forward to tomorrow's trip to Powers Auditorium. I'm sure it will be a nice one. Tomorrow also marks the midway point of the second grading period.

Next week will be very busy. PSHS's Seminary Singers will visit on Tuesday morning and the PTO will treat our students to a puppet show in the afternoon. Wednesday will bring with it a visit fron Santa!

Thanks,
