international student who wants to attend Grady this year. In order to do
so, she needs a host family. The student is Odile Mugisha from Kigali,
Rwanda. She is 19 years old and will be taking her high school senior year
for the 2nd time, since she has already graduated from high school in
Rwanda. She's fluent in English and French and has taken two years
of German. She really wants to stay with a family with teenagers and
experience "American" high school. Rotary International will
fund her stay. Time is of the essence, so interested families should

This year, the PTSA would like to do a better job of acknowledging our
students' achievments. To do this we would like to include student success
items in the Grady Gram and the Knight Lights. Parents, students and
teachers, please help our Grady community know such things as nominees for
the Governor's Honors program, inductees into the Beta Club or science
fair winners. Our students are doing great things. Please help
us to acknowlege their successes.
You may submit articles directly to the Grady Gram by emailing Terry
Kearns at Gradyproject@aol.com. The Grady Gram is sent every Friday
so
you should have your information to him by Thursday morning. Send
articles to the Knight Lights to Carol Senf at carol.senf@lcc.gatech.edu.
The
deadline for the next issue is Friday, August 30.
If you would prefer, you may send your information to Beth Thornton at
