The Dark Knight

Have you seen the new Batman Movie? My family and I went to the new Cinema Center in downtown Williamsport on Sunday Afternoon to see the movie. What a great movie! The new theater is also very nice. I really liked the reclining seats. If you get a chance, go see The Dark Knight, and let e know what you thought of the movie.

TitleTown USA

ESPN was in town today to film for an upcoming segment that will air on SportsCenter on Saturday. They were filming a segment called TitleTown. Is Williamsport and Little League really TitleTown? I believe so. This is the only place where a true Champion is crowned on the field every year in the purest form of the game of baseball. Special thanks to Chris Downs and Little League for inviting a lot of the local ball players to be part of the taping.

The New iPhone by Apple

The new iPhone went on sale on Friday and Apple has said to have sold 1 million iPhones in the first weekend. That is incredible! One Million iPhones sold in 3 days! The new iPhone is very cool and I hope to get one soon. Do you know anyone that bought an iPhone?

A Day at the Races

We had a great family night at the Route 87 Speedway in Montoursville tonight. My family and I spent the evening racing go-carts. It was a great time and the weather was fantastic.

Rommelt Honor Roll Assembly

I would like to congratulate all of our 5th & 6th Grade Honor Roll Students. This morning we held our 1st Trimester Honor Roll Assembly and recognized all of our honor students. Each student was called up onto the stage, received a certficate and an honor roll ID tag, and a much deserved round of applause from the staff and students at Rommelt. This marking period the Honor Roll ID tag was red.

I would like to challange each and every 5th & 6th grade student to work hard to achieve honor roll for next marking period. Can you earn an honor roll ID tag? What color will next trimester's be orange or purple?

Remember if you make honor roll all three trimesters, you will also earn a fourth ID tag that is blue. Can you do it? I hope so, I would love to have a lot of students earn this high academic honor.

Veteran's Day Assembly

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Major Max Furman for putting together our Veteran's Day Assembly on Friday. Major Furman did an outstanding job of relating to our students what his tour of Duty in Iraq was like and the important missions they were involved in. Major Furman showed the students an awesome slide show of pictures he took while in Iraq. Thank you for taking the time to share your story with our students.

I would also like to thank Ms. Pat Russell and Mr. Jamie Flick for presenting the students of Rommelt with the Mounties Mission Homefront Map that will be displayed at Rommelt. The students of Rommelt will soon get to see all the servicemen and woman that have ties to South Williamsport. We will also have some of the classrooms adopt a servicemen or women to send carepackages overseas. What a great project. Look for more information on Mounties Mission Homefront soon.

Finally, I would like to thank Mrs. Linda Hawkins at the High School for putting together a very moving assembly at the high school. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make the assembly due to a training demonstration, but I have heard so many wonderful comments on it. Thank you to all that took part in making the assembly one that our South students won't soon forget.

Thank you to all our Veteran's that have given so much for all of us to enjoy the freedoms that we have.

Title One Hot Dog Roast

Title One sponsored a Hot Dog Roast this evening at Central. The purpose of the program was to introduce parents to Title One, what Title One is all about, and how the parents can help support their children at home with reading.

The evening began with a catered picnic by Humdinger. The parents and children got to eat hot dogs, baked beans, macaroni salad, and chocolate cake. Although the picnic was scheduled for outside, the rain did not dampen the spirits inside.

Mrs. Furman treated the children to a story, "The Principal From the Black Lagoon". What an interesting story! The children then went to a few classroom to read stories to the dogs.

I would like to thank Mrs. Pardoe, Mrs. Laudenslager, Mrs. Flerlage and Mr. Molino, our Title One teachers, for putting together a very informative and fun-filled evening. I also have to give special thanks to our Title One Para-professionals, Mrs. Guerrisky, Mrs. Dudek, and Mrs. Marzzacco for all their help and support, as well.

What an awesome evening. Thank you to all the parents for coming out tonight and helping us to support reading at school and at home. Also a special thank you to Title One for all you do! Keep up the great work.

The Showdown Has Been Set For Saturday Night

The Penn State Nittany Lions vs. the number 1 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes. This is the game Penn State has been waiting for. Will Ohio State be the next Number 1 to fall? Happy Valley will be an unbelievable atmosphere for the 8:00 pm kick-up. I will be there cheering on the Nittany Lions. Go State!

Steelers vs. Broncos - Sunday Night

The Steelers play tonight vs. the Denver Broncos. Will the Steelers be able to continue on their winning ways? Willie Parker needs a big running game against the poor run defense of the Broncos.

Reading Class

Doesn't Mrs. Levan make reading class fun and interesting? She has some of the corniest jokes, so how can you not laugh. Does anybody remember what the word "haughty" means?

Ashley H. thank you for offering me a reading book. Can you tell me what the book you are reading is about? I was a little lost listening to the middle of the story.
