Welcome to the Raider Nation

 

Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station consisted of two pressurized water reactors manufactured by Babcock & Wilcox each inside its own containment building and connected cooling towers. TMI-2, which suffered a partial meltdown, is in the background.  No one was killed or injured during the Three-Mile Island reactor accident.

 I am officially on duty and have no air.  Currently, the Raider Nation is melting down. 

 We have two new citizens of the Raider Nation.  I would like to welcome Kimberly Shipley and Cheryl Brand to the Raider Nation. 

Ms. Kimberly Shipley will be our new art teacher.  She has spent the summer working with The Boy’s and Girl’s Club.  She recently graduated from Howard Payne University. 

Ms.  Cheryl Brand will be replacing Mindy Martin.  She is currently in the ECAP program and did her observation right here in the Raider Nation.
