Great Week of School

What a great week of school it was last week. The students started their Study Island Benchmarks for the beginning of the year. Last week was Math and this week is Reading. So far it looks like the students have done a good job on this 1st benchmark test. We will look at the results and begin offering some remediation help for those students that need it. Thanks for all the hard work that went into this past week. It shows.

I would like to wish a speedy recovery to our nurse at Rommelt, Mrs. Ryan. She had back surgery on Friday and will be out for about 6-weeks. We are praying for a speedy recovery and hope everything goes well for you. Please rest and take care. A special thank you to Mrs. Borosky for filling in while Mrs. Ryan is out.

This week looks to be a busy one. The Rommelt and Central students will have the PTO Fall Book Fair on Wednesday and Thursday. Don't forget that Wednesday Night is Family Night from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm. Friday is also picture day at Rommelt.

The high school is also looking at a very busy week. On Tuesday, Dan Davis, will be in to speak to the students. His tell-it-like it is approach to the students on drugs and alcohol is a great message for all to hear. He will also give a presentation to the Parents at 7:00 pm in the high school auditorium. Then on Wednesday, the High School will have their Picture Day. Finally Friday will be a home football game vs. Muncy.

American Idol Concert

Last Night I took my wife and I took my daughter to see the American Idol Concert at the Wachovia Arena. I have to admit it was a really good concert. We had great seats, the performances were good, and it was just a great time. Check out the pictures I took at the concert. I think they came out pretty good.

Well I gotta go for tonight. It's STEELER Time. Time to watch the game. Go Steelers! Let's win #7 this year.

1st Week of School & Rommelt Open House

The first week of school was great. Everyone git back into the swing of school. New schedules were learned, new friendships were made, and a learning experience by all occurred in some form. Thanks for a great first week and we are all looking forward to a terrific year.

Tonight the 5th & 6th grade held its beginning of the year Open House. It was great night and I want to thank all the parents and students for coming out this evening. It was great talking with everyone. I also want to thank the 5th & 6th grade teachers for doing a tremendous job. You are awesome!

Just a reminder that all students must have their beginning of the year forms turned into the office by tomorrow morning. Any student that has not turned them in will have detention.

What did you do this past weekend? I spent Saturday at the Penn State Game and Sunday and Monday with Family just relaxing. I am looking forward to another great season for the Nittany Lions. What do you think? Can they win the Big Ten again?
