Girls' Prep. Students Present $60,000 Check For Girls' Schools in Afghanistan
02/26/2008
From The Chattanooga Times Free Press:
As Elizabeth Wray prepared to step in front of a crowd of thousands Sunday to give away the biggest gift of her life, it was not public speaking jitters that had her concerned.
The Girls Preparatory School senior simply didn't want the $60,000 check she was there to present to overshadow the humanitarian work the money was going to support.
"I just don't want to make a big deal about us and GPS, and 'Look what we did,'" the 18-year-old said.
Along with GPS sophomore Alizeh Ahmad, Ms. Wray presented the money to New York Times-bestselling author Greg Mortenson, who spoke at an independent schools conference in Nashville.
