Another Short Day!

It's been a rather short week to say the least. I hope the 2 hour delay didn't catch too many people off guard. Today marks the end of the second grading period. Report cards will be sent home next Friday. It's hard to believe the school year is just about halfway over.

If you are planning on heading to the YSU Basketball games tomorrow, please drive safely and have a great time. I'm sure there will be quite a few activities to keep the kids busy.

Now.....let's chat for a few moments about the Pittsburgh Steelers. My Terrible Towel is ready to go! My recliner is primed and ready for action. I'll tip the pizza guy a few extra bucks before I nestle into my chair for three hours, too. I'm hoping to wear my Steeler tie on Monday!

Thanks,

Mr. Mike Tomlin

Family Night!

Family Night went very well. I'd like to thank those who helped make it a success. There is a wonderful article written in today's Vindicator. Simply click here to read it. There will be another article in an upcoming edition of the Town Crier, too.

It looks as if another winter storm is heading our way. Please be sure to watch your televisions and/or listen to the radio in the morning.

YSU Basketball tickets will be heading home with those who had requested them. Please check those backpacks tonight.

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

Family Night!

Tonight's Family Night for 3rd and 4th graders is still on! The weather certainly has made this event a bit challenging. On the other hand, it is January Mr. Masucci! Please plan on arriving between 5:30 p.m. and 5:45 p.m. We will begin shortly before 6:00 p.m.


With more snow heading our way in the next few days, please make sure you stay tuned in to local television and radio stations. I wouldn't be surprised if another day of school is ether cancelled or delayed this week.



Thanks,
Mr. Polamalu

Better Late Than Never!

The icy roads led to a 2 hour delay today. Fortunately, the temperatures warmed up enough that all of our students made it to school safe and sound. As the week rolls on, the temperatures are going to drop quite a bit. Please make sure your child is bundled up.

The 3rd and 4th Grade Family Night is still scheduled for tomorrow evening. If you have any questions about it, please let me know.

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

Long Weekend!

I spent quite a bit of time this morning sharing a story with our students about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We spoke about how his determination impacted the entire world. I asked them to take a few minutes on Monday and think about Dr. King.

I received many requests for the free YSU Basketball tickets. Those who requested tickets should receive them by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. Be sure to check those backpacks.

Have a great weekend! Go STEELERS!

Thanks.

Mr. Masucci

Back to School!

The 3rd and 4th grade Family Night has been rescheduled for Wednesday, January 19th. I was thrilled to learn two of the three presenters are still able to make it. The third presenter, Mr. Kent Tekulve, is unable to make the rescheduled date. Mr. Tekulve is the President of the Pittsburgh Pirates Alumni Association and a familiar name to Pirate fans. He was planning on sharing information about his incredible baseball career. However, he was going to spend more time talking to our students about determination and what it takes to succeed in every walk of life. Now 63 years old, Kent donates quite a bit of time to educating children. It would have been nice to have him. He is unable to attend because he will be in Florida participating in the 2011 Pirates Fantasy Baseball Camp. When we spoke yesterday, I suggested holding our event in Florida. While he thought that was a great idea, he did not feel as though the Pirate organization would pick up the tab.

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci

Winter Weather!

I hope this winter weather doesn't dump too much snow on us. I am hopeful tomorrow's Family Night will go on as scheduled. If school is closed, I have no choice but to postpone our evening event. If our schools end up operating under a 2-hour delay, I will plan on hosting the event. Keep your fingers crossed!

Thanks,

Mr. Masucci
