After the major storm that rolled through on August 1st, I have to admit that the microburst that hit Montgomery and Muncy on September 18th was quite the surprise. Hopefully we will be done with severe storms for awhile and can move on to a pleasant autumn.

On a much happier note, congratulations to Coach Bozella and the Red Raider Varsity Football team for their impressive victory over Columbia Montour Vo-Tech. The final score was 54-30. Every Montgomery Alum was proud to hear that news. Best wishes for the rest of the season!
