6th Grade Class Meeting

Today the 6th grade teachers held a class meeting to honor the students who have been seen doing great things in our SOUTH program. Congratulations to the students that received awards. I will get your names posted soon.

6th Grade, you need to do a better job with completing homework. This is the biggest area of concern I have at this point this year. Let’s work hard at completing our assignments and meeting the challenges your teachers have put before you each night.

Oh yea. What did you think of Mrs. Ogden’s Cartwheel today during your class meeting? Let me know your thoughts.

Rommelt Open House

Last Evening the 5th & 6th Grade Faculty held our Back to School Open House. What a fantastic evening we had. I would like to thank all the parents that came out. I hope you had an opportunity to meet your child’s teachers and to hear about the curriculum and expectations we have for this school year. It was great to see everyone last night.

I would also like to thank my teachers for an outstanding job they did last night. I have received many great comments from parents on what a wonderful job everyone did. It is great to work with such a great staff. Thank You!

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

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
