The Weekend!

I hope everyone enjoys the weekend. If you are a football fan, enjoy the games. I'll be watching to see who my beloved Pittsburgh Steelers will be playing next weekend.

Beginning Wednesday, January 12th, raffle tickets will be sold for a chance to win a 27" Toshiba television. This brand new television needs a new home. More information will be coming home at the beginning of the week.

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

Let It Snow!

It looks like the snow is beginning to fall. Please be careful when driving to tonight's PTO Meeting. It will begin at 6:30 p.m. Plans will be shared about February's Book Fair.

I should be receiving our school's free YSU Basketball tickets within a few days. I will be sure to get them passed out to those who placed orders before the January 22nd game at the Beeghly Center. Thanks to YSU for their extreme generosity.

I have been reading a new chapter book in the gym during our morning announcements. Please ask your children what they know about the book's main character. Her name is Ramona and she is quite a leading lady!

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

Here's the Scoop!

I'm at work today. This should tell you that I am not holding the winning lottery ticket that would have had me on an airplane to my own private island. Looks like I'll have to wait for another opportunity.

I am pleased to see so many reservations coming back for our upcoming Family Night scheduled for Wednesday, January 12th. If you have any questions about it, please feel free to contact me.

Please plan on attending tomorrow evening's PTO Meeting. It will take place at 6:30 p.m. Our PTO is such an important and valued part of our school. The meeting should only last about an hour, so please try to attend.

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

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!

Mr. Masucci

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
