Long Weekend!

I hope you enjoy the long weekend. I have already been informed that the majority of mine will be spent stripping wallpaper. I think I'd be better off at school.

I have updated our school's calendar page to include all of the upcoming events. Be sure to take a look and call if you have any questions. In addition, I am still planning on giving our building's webpage a new look. I have been learning quite a bit about creating and maintaining a new site and intend to attend a class or two about websites soon. I appreciate your patience.

To date, our school has sold over 700 tickets to the Steeler game! Information will displayed on Poland's clock tower soon and a few articles will be published advertising the game. It's getting close!

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Wow!

Today's Radio Disney Dance Party was a HUGE hit! Be sure to ask your children about it. I'm quite sure most of you won't even have to ask. Our school was presented with a certificate and banner for winning this year's "Get Active, Get Fit School Challenge." Look for coverage to be on WKBN and WYTV tonight or tomorrow.

If you haven't picked up your tickets to our next Radio Disney Dance Party, I hope you do soon. If your children liked today's program, they will absolutely LOVE the next one.

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day is one of the nicest days to be in an elementary school. Some may argue with that, but I hope I never forget what it feels like to be a kid. Our students entered the building with smiles from ear to ear. I'd like to thank our PTO for providing treats this afternoon. We are all lucky to have such a devoted group taking care of us! I'd also like to thank our staff for having even more patience today.

Tomorrow is our Radio Disney Party! No...not the BIG one at the high school, but the one we won as the grand prize winners of the "Get Active, Get Fit" Contest. If your child has a Disney shirt, be sure to have him/her wear it! Our afternoon should be a lot of fun.

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Fire Drill!

With the weather so nice, today was the perfect day to hold a fire drill. Although I expect all of our students to follow the rules during these monthly drills, I continue to be impressed with their behavior. Being able to hear and knowing what to do mean a lot during an emergency. Poland's brave firefighters would be proud of our students.

Tickets went on sale today for March's basketball game against the Steelers. Be sure to check out the information heading home today. It should be a lot of fun.

Thank you,
Mr.Masucci

Super Bowl!

I hope everyone enjoys the big game on Sunday. With all this nice weather, you may be able to head outdoors to throw the football around. If you ordered pepperoni roll cards from Cocca's, I made sure they made their way home to you. We will continue to sell them through Wednesday, February 8th.

Crazy Hat Day was a huge success. Thank you! There were a lot of creative hats walking around our halls, too. Once again, I thank you for supporting out efforts. Be sure to ask your child about today's short video shown during morning announcements. There were a few tears after watching it.

Information about the OTHER big game will head home on Monday!

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Crazy Hat Day!

Tomorrow is going to be "Crazy Hat Day"! Students are encouraged to bring in a one dollar donation for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. For doing so, they can wear their craziest hats to school. It should make for an exciting day. Participation is strictly voluntary.

Tickets for the Steelers Basketball Game will go on sale Monday, February 6th. The last day to buy them at the school will be Thursday, March 1st. After March 1st, all tickets will have to be purchased at the Fieldhouse the night of the game. If you wait until then, the event may sell out. Please be sure to buy your tickets here at school. More information about the event will be sent home on Monday.

Field Trip!

Our 3rd and 4th graders were treated to great trip to the Covelli Center to watch the Youngstown Phantoms play hockey. I am so proud to hear that all of our students were exceptionally well behaved. Great job!

We will continue to accept pepperoni rolls orders! Those who have already placed their orders should receive their cards today or tomorrow. To date, this sale has generated $301.00 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Thank you for your continued support.

Tickets for the Steelers basketball game will go on sale Monday, February 6th. Look for all of the details on a "black and gold" piece of paper that will come home Monday.

Thanks,
