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.

7th Grade Math

Today I sat in on the 7th grade advanced algebra class during period 3. The discussion today was on ratio's. Does anybody remember what sports you could use ratios in? Mrs. Fink did a great job explaining ratios and providing you with some great real world examples. I hope everyone did well on their test.

Rommelt Track & Field Day

Today was the 5th & 6th grade Track & Field Day. What a beautiful day to be out on the football field and competing. It was a great time had by all. Did you place during Track & Field Day. If so, send me a comment and tell me what place you came in and in what event. It sounded like the 5th grade champion was Mr. Brown's Class and the 6th grade champion was Mrs. Ogden's Class. Way to go. Congratulations to all our place winners.

PTO Fall Festival Was Another Big Hit!

I would like to thank everybody that came out to the Elementary PTO Fall Festival on Friday Night. It was a great time for everybody and there was a lot of great food. Most importantly it was a great time for the kids. I had a chance to talk to a lot of people while selling tickets.

Did you win a basket? I actually won a basket this year for my wife. It was a Fall Decorations basket with a lot of candles in it. My daughter also won a basket this year. She won a basket filled with cat supplies. We don't own a cat, but my son's girlfriend does, so she got the basket.

A special thank you to the PTO for sponsoring this great community event. It takes a lot of work, so please thank the PTO for all their hard work for our students. I know I am thankful for everything they do for us.
