High School & College Football

I am getting excited about the start of high school and college football starting this weekend. Good Luck to Coach Pearson and the Mounties as they open their 2008 season at Lewisburg.

Penn State opens this weekend with an easy game with Coastal Carolina. I am looking forward to watching the Nittany Lions this year, but I wish they wouldn’t schedule these types of games. Who is your favorite college football team?

Finally, I would like to thank my good friend Ali for the Penn State Pez Dispenser she gave me today. that was very nice of you. I know it was hard for a loyal Notre Dame Fan to buy something Penn State. Thank you Ali.

1st Day of School

Well, today was the first day of school for our students. Today went great. It was so fast paced today with all of our 1st day class meetings. I want to thank all of our students and teachers for such a tremendous day. How was your day? I am looking forward to getting to know all of our new students at South this year. I hope everyone has a tremendous year.

What a Weekend!

Little League World Series

What a beautiful weekend it was. The weather was great. What did you do this weekend? Did you make any of the Little League Games? I didn’t make it up this weekend, but did get to see some of the games on TV. Saturday’s games were great. How about the team from Hawaii? They had an unbelievable comeback on Saturday, and played a great game on Sunday. I really enjoy watching the Little League World Series and seeing all of the tremendous plays these 12 & 13 year players make.

I would also like to congratulate Kathy Rosenberg on her retirement from Little League and playing DugOut. She has done a tremendous job playing DugOut for the past 13 years. Thank you for playing such an important part of Little League and bringing so many smiles to the children and adults that love the Little League Baseball. Enjoy your retirement.


Bearded Dragon

My daughter got her bearded dragon over the weekend. She is extremely excited about getting it. She got a baby. It is pretty neat. Have you ever seen a bearded dragon?

Teacher InService Day

Today was our 1st In-Service Day. The teachers spent a lot of time today working on some great things for this upcoming school year. They did a great job and I am looking forward to seeing everything they worked on today being put into place.

I also want to welcome my two new teachers to the district. Welcome to Mrs. Lentz, who will be teaching 6th grade reading skills, and Mr. Rodgers, who will be teaching 7th grade Social Studies. Welcome to the District.

Mountie Docs

Today I gave a training to my administrative colleagues on Google Docs. We are going to begin using Google Docs with in the District to help our grade level teams collaborate more with themselves and the administration. Google Docs is a great tool. We are calling our version, MountieDocs. To find out more about it, please go to http://docs.google.com

Happy Birthday!

I would like to wish my beautiful daughter, McKenna, a Happy Birthday Today. She is 10 years old today. She wants to get a bearded dragon with her birthday money. She loves animals. Happy Birthday.

Wacky Wednesday is Tomorrow

Tomorrow is Wacky Wednesday for all our 7th grade students. This is a great opportunity for you to come to the high school from 9:30 am - 11:30 am and get to learn the high school. We will meet in the high school gym. This is your chance to walk through your schedule, try out your locker, get to learn about the cafeteria, and more. I hope to see most of you there. Check back for some pictures of this fun event tomorrow night.

A Day in Latrobe with the Steelers

Well it was a great day in Latrobe at the Steelers training camp. My daughter and I got on to the field for practice. We stood around the 10 yard line. I got some great pictures. I also created a short video of some of the pictures. Click on the black picture on the left to view the slideshow.

As we were leaving the campus after being in the merchandise tent, we almost got run over by Ben and his golf cart. The driver was going very fast trying to avoid the chasing line of fans. As Ben went by us he tossed one of his shoes to a little boy standing along the side.

Rommelt Class Lists & High School Schedules

The 7th & 8th Grade Schedules were mailed out today. You should be receiving them tomorrow or Thursday.

The Rommelt Class Lists will be posted on the front doors of the Rommelt on Friday afternoon.

Can you believe school starts in three weeks! Where has the summer gone?

Off to Latrobe

Tomorrow Morning I am off to Latrobe to visit the Pittsburgh Steelers Training Camp. I have two field passes, so check back tomorrow to see how the day went. I know my daughter is extremely excited to go and is hoping to get Ben Roethlisberger’s autograph.
