January?

It's hard to believe it is January 31st. With temperatures in the mid-50's, it felt like an early spring day. I sure hope we don't pay for days like this in April or May.

Please be sure you stop in to get your Radio Disney tickets. Beginning February 6th, I begin advertising the event to the general public. For the past few weeks, tickets have only been given to Poland Union families.

February is a very busy month. I updated the calendar page this afternoon. Be sure to check it out.

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Levy Committee Meeting!

There will be a "Levy Committee Meeting" for anyone interesting in volunteering their time to help pass March's levy. The meeting will take place at 7:00 p.m. in the cafeteria at PSHS.

It's hard to believe January has come to an end. We'll certainly be busy in the month of February. Be sure to keep an eye on the calendar page for updates.

Send those pepperoni roll orders in. Although you can order all the way up until February 8th, those who turn in orders by Friday will receive their cards for the weekend. Pepperoni rolls and the Super Bowl....what can be better?

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Thank you!

I would like to thank our 4th graders and their families for making last night's Family Health Night such a huge success. I think everything went very well. I would also like to thank Ms. Landers, Mrs. Johnstone. Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Kasper for taking the time to attend. It is appreciated. The evening would not have been possible without the help of Sirna and Sons Produce, Turning Technologies, Mrs. Barb Dorbish, Chris Mielo and Chaz Kellem.

All of our students really enjoyed their visit with Chaz Kellem and Chris Mielo yesterday afternoon, too. I would like to thank the PTO for providing the funds necessary for them to attend. The men had very powerful and important messages for the students. In the weeks to come, you will receive information about the free Pirate tickets Chaz promised all of our students. Think Spring!

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Oops!

I sent home information today about a partnership between our school and Cocca's Pizza. This partnership could easily generate a lot of money for our Make-A-Wish efforts. be sure to check it out. However, I made a mistake when creating it. If you are interested in participating in the program, please be sure you include your name on the order form. I seem to have left part off. Good job Mr. Principal!

Tomorrow is Family Health Night for our 4th graders and their parents. Please plan on arriving around 5:45 p.m. and gathering in the gym. I am proud to report that close to 90% of our 4th graders plan on attending.

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

A Little Late!

The day got away from me today. I apologize for getting today's message up so late. Our 2nd graders enjoyed a visit from our friends from Mill Creek Park. Be sure to ask about the visit.

I want to let you all know how happy we are to welcome Mrs. Janet Kirns to our building. She replaces Mrs. Confer who is off enjoying her retirement. Mrs. Kirns has taught at Poland Middle School for many years. We are lucky to have her.

Have a great night. I hope to be in tomorrow. I have been dealing with Jury Duty this week and last.

Mr. Masucci

Warmer Days Ahead!

Despite the warmer than usual temperatures, please make sure your children are heading to school prepared to head outdoors for recess. If the temperature is above 20 degrees, we will head outside. Thank you.

To date, Poland Union has collected close to $2,500 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Let's keep up the great pace. Look for information on how Cocca's Pizza will help our efforts. A yellow sheet of paper is heading home today which shares information about our March 2nd radio Disney Dance Party. It will be here before you know it.

Don't forget about tonight's Board of Education meeting at the Township Building. The meeting will begin at 6:00 p.m.

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci

Brrrr!

It was definitely cold today! Let's hope for warmer temperatures before the weekend. It will be February before we know it.

Plans are coming together nicely for 4th grade's Family Health Night. This event will take place on Thursday, January 26th. I look forward to a great evening and know our 4th graders and parents will enjoy the evening's activities. If you have any questions about it, please feel free to give me a call.

1st graders will be selling popcorn on Friday to coincide with our "Movie Day". Popcorn will be sold for 25 cents and all of the proceeds will be donated to our Make-A-Wish efforts. Mr. Mike was kind enough to volunteer to run the popcorn machine. By Friday, we may end up being very close to having $3,000! Thank you!

Thanks,
Mr. Masucci
