Bad News!

The weather in New Jersey has forced our visit to be cancelled today.  I am very sorry for the news.  Captain Speakman was as disappointed as anyone.  We will make this work sooner or later.  Thank you for understanding.

Helicopter

It's a little after 8:00 a.m. I have not heard from the Marines. I am hoping that no news is good news. Keep checking back. The minute I hear something, I will post information. Thanks, Mr. Masucci

One Down...One to Go!

3rd Graders finished up their testing this morning. I am sure they will enjoy the evening not having to worry about any more tests. Our 4th Graders will wrap things up tomorrow. I think they have possessed great attitudes these past few days. The weather looks great today. Head outside and enjoy it. Thanks, Mr. Masucci

Snow?

It's hard to believe that we have to worry about snow this late in April. Let's hope the forecasters are wrong and this storm misses us. I don't think I will be using my tickets to tomorrow night's Pirate game.

Our first day of testing went very well. 4th grade kicks things off tomorrow. I am looking forward to the end of the week. It will be nice to pack the tests up and get them out of here.

Stay warm!

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

A Great Day for a Walk!

We were able to pick right back up where left in the fall with our building's walking program. This afternoon we walked a little under a half mile. Our entire building made the trip in a little under 30 minutes. All of the students were very well behaved.

Great news should have made it home today about the little girl whose wish came true because of the generosity of Poland Union Elementary School's students, staff and families.

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

PTO Meeting

Our school's monthly PTO meeting will take place tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. April is typically a slow month with the recent break and Achievement Assessments taking center stage. Hope you can make it.

I received some great news today.........but I am not quite ready to share it. Look for a paper coming home in the next few days.

Enjoy the sunshine.

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Back from Break!

I hope everyone enjoyed the break! While no one likes to return from a vacation, it was nice to see so many smiling faces this morning. It's hard to believe we have only 38 more days of school.

The school's "Gaga Pit" is up and running. The final step will be installing turf inside of it. Thanks to the generosity of our PTO the turf has been purchased and delivered to the school. We are now waiting for the outside temperature to rise a bit before adhering the turf to the blacktop. Mr. Wesolowsky will be swinging by Wednesday morning to provide our students with the rules of the game.

Be on the lookout for information coming home today about the Pittsburgh Pirates. Each K-4 students is entitled to 2 free tickets to an upcoming game at PNC park. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci
