The Video is Here!

Well, here are the pictures from Track & Field Day. It is a pretty long video. I hope you enjoy it. Have a Great Evening!

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.

Track & Field Day

Tomorrow is the Annual 5th & 6th Grade Track & Field Day at Rommelt. The weather looks absolutely beautiful. I hope everyone gets a good night's sleep, because tomorrow is going to be a very exciting and exhausting day. Who will be the 5th Grade Champion this Year? Who will be the 6th Grade Champion? I can't wait to see the competition on the football field. Good Luck to everyone. Make sure you check back in a day or two to see some of the great pictures I will take.

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.

Big Week Ahead!

This week is a very busy at school. We have some great things going on. Here is just a short preview:

• On Wednesday, It is picture day at the high school. Make sure you bring your best smile.
• On Wednesday & Thursday, it is the PTO Book Fair at Rommelt. Each class will have an opportunity to stop by the book fair during the day to either preview or purchase books.
• On Wednesday Evening it is Family Night at the Book Fair. Please stop in and purchase some great books for your son or daughter at home.
• On Thursday, The high school band is headed to the Bloomsburg Fair to put on another outstanding performance. I know they will represent our school with class and show everyone how great the are.
• On Friday, The Rommelt Students will have their picture day in the morning. The afternoon brings an exciting new assembly for the High School and Elementary Students. The Power Team is coming to entertain and motivate our students. Please check out their website at http://powerteamschools.com/ I am looking forward to a great performance and the challenges they will bring to our students. Are you up to the challenge? Did you see the great article in the Sun-Gazette Today?

Finally, I have to congratulate Mr. Cremer and his Eagles. They put a beating on my Steelers last night. I guess I will have to wear his Donovan McNabb jersey on Friday. Man, is that going to be a hard thing to do?

Game On!

Well this is a huge weekend for the Great State of Pennsylvania. Steelers vs. Eagles! A top NFC team vs. The Top AFC Team. Who do you think will won the game on Sunday?

Mr. Cremer started talking trash to me as soon as I walked into school today. Then he had the nerve to throw a little wager on the game. If the Eagles win, I have to wear his McNabb jersey for a day, and if the Steelers win, he will wear my Roethlisberger jersey for a day. Mr. Cremer will look great in Black and Gold! Oh yea, Ms. Powers you really upset me when you sided with Mr. Cremer.

Jr. High Football

Finally got a chance to see our 7th & 8th grade football team. They played Sayre tonight and played extremely hard. Keep working hard and listening to everything your coaches are teaching you. Great Job!

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!

September 11th Remembered
