Answer: Katy Perry.
Class: Collins.
Note: Pop star Katy Perry and a crew of 5 other women flew briefly into space on April 14, 2025, as part of an all-female crew on Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket. The suborbital flight lasted about 11 minutes, with the spacecraft soaring above the Kármán line to provide the passengers with several minutes of weightlessness and a view of Earth.
Have a marvelous Monday everybody!

Please be aware that tardies will be counted towards discipline beginning next week. If you are still struggling with your locker, go to your next class and let the teacher know that you need a little more time to fix it BEFORE you are tardy. This does not count in 1st hour as you have plenty of time to fix the problem before your class starts.
There is a MS FFA meeting for the Fall Conference next Wednesday at 7:30am. Those students in or wishing to be in FFA should come to Mrs. Miller's room 115 on the morning of 9/3 to learn about attending the fall leadership conference. Application and deposits to attend will be due on 9/9.
