Three Grady students chosen to attend Coastal America Summit

For their first semester final project, Grady High School's Science teacher Kori Ellis’s oceanography students turned in a research paper about an ocean-related environmental problem and possible solutions to it. Unbeknownst to the students, Ellis and Kim Morris-Zarneke, the manager of educational programs at the Georgia Aquarium and advisor to the Grady delegation, chose three students to send to Washington, D.C. for the fourth annual Coastal America Summit on March 9-12.  Juniors Lauryn Taylor, Annie Mason, and Ted Galanos were the students selected from Grady.

The trip, including airline and hotel fees, was paid for by the Georgia Aquarium. This is the second year the aquarium has sent a delegation of Grady students to the Coastal America Summit.
