Hot! Hot! Hot!

A day like today is a constant reminder of just how close we are to finishing up the school year. Let's hope it cools down a little bit over the next few days. I'm not complaining. Sunshine is better than rain.

Once again, I 'd like to thank our PTO for taking the time to organize this year's Bake Sale. Everything went very well. However, I think we could have doubled the profits if I had not been in charge of popping the popcorn. I found myself eating as quickly as I was popping it.

Have a wonderful evening!

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

4th Grade Recognition!

Last night's Recognition Program went exceptionally well. I'd like to thank our incredible PTO for all of their hard work. You certainly made last night one our students will never forget. Congratulations 4th graders! Poland Union Elementary School will miss you very much.

Enjoy the long weekend. I asked all of our students to spend a little bit of time this weekend thinking about the reason we celebrate Memorial Day. Be sure to remind them.

I hope to see many of our families at Monday's parade. Our PTO will have a tent set up for their Bake Sale. It looks like the weather will be on our side.

Have a wonderful 3 day weekend.

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

New Addition!

Our building has a new addition! Thanks to our 4th graders a dwarf lilac tree has been planted in front of the school. I think it looks great! Be sure to check it out when you drive by the building. It will be a constant reminder of our current 4th grade class.

Tomorrow's Recognition Program is ready to go! I know our 4th graders are looking forward to this event. The program will begin at 6:00 p.m. Let's hope for cool weather.

Be sure to ask about today's amazing program. "Lights, Camera, Action" was a huge hit. On behalf of our students and staff, I'd like to thank our PTO for paying for this program. It was money well spent.

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Thank You PTO!

Mr. Mike has been hard at work hanging the new pictures in our hallway. They should all be up soon. Thank you PTO! Your generosity is appreciated.

Our 2nd graders ended up having a beautiful day at Ford Nature Center. They should sleep well tonight. From what I was told, they were very well behaved, too.

Tomorrow's "Lights, Camera, Action" will take over our building. Once again, the PTO has provided the funds for this one-of-a-kind program. Make sure you ask your children about it.

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Dodging Rain Drops!

We managed to dodge a few raindrops this morning. While it is easy to complain about the weather, I look at some other states and feel pretty fortunate. A soggy backyard isn't so bad when you think about it.

Today's fire drill went very well. All students and staff exited the building quickly and quietly. As you know, we hold a fire drill each month. We'll have one more in June. It's hard to believe that there are only 14 more days of school.

Have a great night!

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Finished!

With a lot of support from the 4th grade teachers and students, I was able to finish the video that will be shown at Thursday's 4th Grade Recognition. To be honest, I am ahead of schedule. The fact that I am finished will make the weekend a bit more enjoyable.

The weather has been miserable lately. A nice day like today gets so many of us thinking about all of the things we "have to" get done. Whether it be cutting the grass of heading the the fields, take a moment and think about really "is" important. Taking a minute or two to do may just make your weekend a little bit better.

Enjoy the sunshine.

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Sunshine!

We'll take what we can get! It was nice to see the sun finally come out. Like many others, I will be cutting grass when I get home. Let's hope I make it out of my backyard.

The 4th Grade Recognition Program is only one week away. I would like to thank all of the parents who have worked so hard in preparing for this one-of-a-kind event. I continue to work on the video that will be shown during the event. Our 4th graders have been great sports. I hope to finish things up tomorrow.

I finally caught the mouse that has been vacationing in my garage. During our morning announcements, I have been keeping your children up to speed on my attempt to "rid" my garage of my new friend. For the past three nights, the mouse has enjoyed fresh peanut butter while managing to avoid my trap. Last night was a different story!

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci
