May 14, 2010 was the Shuttle Atlantis last scheduled flight. My husband works at ATK and he was invited to go. I was lucky enough to get to go as well. Thanks to the wonderful subs who took my classes and thanks to my wonderful students who were so good, there were no problems!! The next thing I will be doing is getting all the late tests and work put in the gradebook. Thanks for your patience.
