On this day in 1915, during World War I, a single torpedo fired by a German submarine struck the Lusitania off the coast of Ireland. Less than 20 minutes later, the ship sank, and some 1,200 people (of the nearly 2,000 on board) died. The Germans considered their attack justified: they had warned the Lusitania would be sunk, and it was carrying tons of Allied munitions. With 128 American citizens now dead and submarine warfare apparently without limits, public outrage in the United States ran high. Though the country would not enter World War I until 1917, the seeds of its involvement had been sown.

It is my 21st year at the Hive! I bleed black and orange!!!! I started working at the Hive in 2005. Feels like yesterday, but was so long ago! Here are some of the reasons I love Booker T:
1. The Pride and the Tradition
Mr. Hornet 2024 and I
Miss Hornet 2024 and I
This is Miss Hornet and Mr. Hornet and I from last year. They were both in my class, and I ADORE them! Mr. Hornet even gave me a shout out at the Coronation. I LOVE the traditions of Booker T! I am so glad teachers cannot vote in Mr. and Miss Hornet. I usually know all the candidates, and love them all!
Two years ago my fifth hour won door decorating contest! We were so happy!
I love Homecoming and Spirit Weeks, and dressing up! My wardrobe is all black and orange! This Homecoming 2013! I love that students participate and go all out! That really impressed me as a teacher!
2. Being a Class Sponsor - Class of 2010
The 2010 Nominees for Mr. and Miss Hornet Fall 2009
My 2nd year I became the Class Sponsor of 2010. Being involved with Booker T is good for students and teachers! Royce Anderson was Mr. Hornet, and TPS made a video about him. Listen to his advice to future Hornets! I completely agree! Be involved - it deepens your love for Booker T!
Being the Class Sponsor of the Class of 2010 was the best decision ever! I got to know them, and 11 years later we had a mini reunion, and the love was still there! They will always have my heart! This year we have organized a 15 year Reunion!
3. I took students to Europe 3 Times
