Kelly Elementary: Astronaut twins honored with grade school renaming [i]A New Jersey grade school launched its new name Thursday (May 19) with the help of its honored namesakes — NASA's first identical twin astronauts. Mark and Scott Kelly, who 44 years ago transferred into the second grade at Pleasantdale Elementary, returned to West Orange, New Jersey for the renaming of their alma mater. Kelly Elementary School was dedicated to the two hometown heroes during an outdoor ceremony held on the front lawn the school with city and school leaders, students and teachers. "After all your worldly travels, and your out of world travels, it is my pleasure, on behalf on this community, to officially welcome you home," said Mayor Robert Parisi. "Thank you both for never forgetting where you came from."[/i]
