Mummer's Parade & PSU!

Did you happen to make it to the Mummer's Parade this past weekend? Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate. It kept the crowds and parade entries down. It is to bad because the Mummer's Parade is always a great time.

Penn State Nittany Lions!

What a game! I was sitting in the edge of my seat all night long. I was getting worried the longer the game went on. What a defensive battle. This was one of the best games I have seen all year. Did you see the game? What did you think of the game?

PTO Fall Festival

The Elementary PTO Fall Festival was Friday Night. What a great time! Did you go? How many games did you play? I sold tickets all night long with my good friend from Central, Principal Furman. We had a great time and got to talk to a lot of the students and their parents.

I want to thank the PTO and everyone that helped make this night a great success. Thanks to all the volunteers for all their hard work. This takes some very special people to put all of this together. I also want to thank all the teachers that were there to work a stand, sell some food, and to just have a great time. Finally, thanks to all the parents and students for coming and supporting the PTO.

What did you have to eat at the festival Friday Night? There was so much good stuff I had a hard time choosing. I finally settled in on a hot sausage sandwich, a pepsi, and a big scoop of ice cream. Thanks Logan for making the scoops BIG!

Track & Field Day

What a beautiful day for Track & Field Day yesterday. The weather was a little chilly to start, but warmed up by the afternoon.

The competition was fierce. Each class fought to the very end to be grade level champs. Congratulations to everyone for working very hard, competing, and showing great sportsmanship. I also want to congratulate our two track & field record breakers. Skye McNamee broke the 6th Grade Girls Triple Jump record, and Anna Steer broke the 5th Grade Girls Softball throw record. Great job girls!

I also need to congratulate our team champs. The 5th grade team champs were Mrs. Cruz's class. The 6th grade team champs were Mr. Hill's Class. Congratulations!

Finally, I would also like to give special thanks to Mrs. Pfirman and Mr. Baker for all their hard work in making the Track & Field Day such a great success. Mrs. Pfirman spends many hours getting all of this together for the students. She does a tremendous job. Please make sure you tell her thank you!

I got to take a lot of pictures yesterday. I am working on trying to get them all together for a video to show you. As soon as I get it completed, I will try to post it.

Fire Prevention Activities

On Friday, we had a great day of Fire Prevention Activities provided by the South Williamsport Fire Department. They did a great job with the stations for the students. I hop our students go home and check their house and then talk to their parents on things they need to do to make their house safer. Special thank you to Al Cole for helping to get all of our activities organized. I also want to thank our students for being so attentive and so well-behaved.

Apologies

I want to apologize for my lack of posting the past 2 weeks. I have been unhappy with my previous blog and I have been spending time changing it back over to Blogger. I have finally got everything moved over and will begin making posts again.

Fire Prevention Activities:

On Friday, Rommelt students will participate in Fire Prevention Activities put on by the South Williamsport Fire Department. The students will go through a bus evacuation, smoke tent, making an escape plan, and hear from the Forestry Department. This should be a very informative event for the students.
