Two $500 scholarships were awarded to Cassandra Green, RHS; and Christopher Mulenex, BHS. New officers for 2009-2011 were installed.

RHS Books of Hope in Uganda
Lisa Gillespie at Rosman High School was awarded a Haywood Electric Bright Ideas Grant last fall. The grant was made to fund participation in Books of Hope—a program to provide books for school children in third world nations. Lisa’s students wrote the books and used the computer skills learned in her class to publish them. Lisa writes, “A couple of months ago I sent one of our books from the Books of Hope project. The group traveling to Africa took one book from each school to be photographed at the chosen school. I chose to send Christina Bracken’s and Louissa Moore's ABC book. This weekend I received an e-mail that the books had arrived and pictures had been posted on their Picasa site. There are two pictures of students with our book. View the link below:
Lisa and her students are in the process of final editing and printing. Once all of the books are complete, they will add a collection of "gently used" books donated by the RHS library and students. They can ship up to 100 pounds, so they will add needed school supplies using the rest of the grant money and donations. Before shipping, the books will be on display in the RHS media center.
