A BIG thank you to Dr. Logan and his wife for visiting our school today. The Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grades all enjoyed a lesson on keeping their teeth healthy. Dr. Logan taught them how to brush correctly so that all plaque is removed. He also talked about healthy food and snack choices to keep their smiles perfect. We appreciate them taking time to visit us.

Our Gorant candy and Cookbook fundraiser is coming to a close. Please turn in all orders and payment by Friday, March 16th. We will not be able to accept orders after tomorrow morning to ensure the delivery before Spring Break. All orders will be available for pick-up on Monday, April 2nd. Thanks for supporting the fundraiser.

Tomorrow, Mrs. Hay's 3rd Grade will be selling popcorn for 50 cents a bag. This is part of an Economics Unit. The students completed a job application and were hired for certain positions. Some of the positions are advertisers, salespeople, accountants, and supervisors. Please help support their business, "Poland Poppers" and buy a bag of popcorn for 50 cents tomorrow. Thank you!

Our first Tae Kwon Kids program was a success. The students learned front kicks, self defense, and respect. It was nice to hear the large group of students in unison saying "Yes sir" to Mr. Ritchie. Our next session will be Wednesday after school where the focus will be on cooperation. A big thanks to Miss Kathy and Mr. Ritchie for donating their time.

During lunch next week, the students have a chance to guess some favorite things of our staff. The staff answered questions about favorite color, vacation, subject, etc. The guessing will take place in our main hallway. A $1.00 donation for Relay for Life is asked to participate. The top guesser in every grade will receive a prize. Good luck.

The rain today has forced us to have indoor recess. Kindergarten and 1st grade enjoyed working in small groups in their rooms. The 2nd and 3rd grades were challenged with putting together a United States floor puzzle. Our 4th grade participated in our school's Bulldog Fitness Trail. We kept busy as we watched the raindrops fall, hoping tomorrow will bring the sunshine back.

Our school has teamed with the Mahoning Valley Scrappers to encourage reading outside the school day. The Scrappers are asking that each child read at least 5 books through April. The books need to be on their grade-level. Each child who accomplishes this will receive 2 free General Admission tickets. At the game, the students who participated in the reading program will be recognized on the field. All your child needs to do is return the bookmark with 5 book titles and your initials on it to their teacher. The Scrappers will also reward two classrooms with a pizza party and a visit from Scrappy. The classrooms that have the highest participation of students and the highest number of books read will be the winners. Thank you for encouraging reading in your house.
