AR Catalog is Available on our Website

Check this out everyone! You are able to search books that may be of interest to you as a reader as you attempt to reach your AR goal. You can click on the AR BOOKFINDER and find out if there is a quiz for a particular book or find out the book level to find out if it is an independent read for you. Pretty cool! Works well if you just don't know what to read? You can do an advanced search or collections search.


I also wanted to mention that our annual Book Fair will be in the library next week. Be sure to pay a visit and scope out what books are available. You can purchase a book with Mrs. Beattie or attend Family Fun Night with your parents to purchase books. Our goal is to sell 250 books! All proceeds support the Curtin library.

Brauny or Bounty?

Mr. Paulhamus' 8th grade scientists were doing a lab to determine which paper towel was stronger? Brauny or Bounty? Which do you think is stronger or better paper towel?

AGC Softball

The Lady Governor softball team is in full swing! They were 2-1 as of earlier today. They played Roosevelt this evening. Good luck girls! I really like the way Coach Stine, Coach Maffett, and Coach Cramer are working with the girls this season. Awesome job! We have 12 girls on the team now.

The football team has their first game tomorrow at Wyoming Valley West. Finally they get to play a game. Good luck guys. I was able to play in the annual two hand touch tourney last Friday. My team was 1-3. It has been a long time since I ran with the Governor Football Team. The last time was in 1982 as a 7th grade QB.

First Roni Game

My soccer team played their first game this past weekend. We are the U10 Roni Team out of Balls Mills. We play in the Nor Cen Pen League. We lost over the weekend to North Umberland. Our next game is this Sunday in Bloomsburg. My son Cameron is a midfielder on the team.

Captain Hill Visits AGC!

Captain Hill of the PA State Police paid a visit to our lunch periods the other day. He just wanted to drop in and visit with our students. His mission is to actively recruit youngsters to aspire to become a State Troopers! What an awesome goal. Did you know Capt. Hill has been in the State Police for 27 years. He even let students try on his Trooper hat.
