- Teresa Wiebe studied pre-med in college. Afterward, she raised three sons and helped support her family through a career in banking. She nurtured her love of science by working for a while in a nursing home and earning an EMT certificate, but she never became a health-care professional.
- GLOBE students at Felten Middle School in Hays, Kansas have been learning a lot about GLOBE's hands-on activities and international collaboration in space science. They have been focusing on CALIPSO (Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared pathfinder Satellite Observation), a satellite launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in Lompoc, CA on 28 April 2006, a joint effort of NASA in the U.S. and CNES (the Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales) in France.
- When the second-grade class of Kathy Harper at Wilson Elementary School lined up to leave yesterday, Harper asked them what their new student teacher's name was. "Mrs. Blur..." said the students in unison before all the voices trailed off. "Ms. Blurton", Harper said. And she'll be back tomorrow.
