On Monday, Jan. 31, junior Abrahm Gurmu died of heart disease. It was his first day at Blair. Abrahm, who was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, came to America eight months ago to pursue a better education. "He was very eager to go to school," said Abrahm's cousin, senior Namerud Admasu. Abrahm was also a model student back at home in Addis Keteema School, according to his older brother, Dawit Gurmu, who said Abrahm was one of 10,000 students, out of a pool of five million, to receive a high score on an important nationwide exam.

The true story behind President's Day
By Elena Pinsky | Feb. 21, 2005, midnight | In Print »
On the third Monday of every February, Montgomery County schools and administrative offices are closed in observance of President's Day. To students, this day may only be a welcome extension to the weekend because few know the true origins of this holiday. In fact, over time, the holiday has transformed from one that commemorates the birthday of former President George Washington to one that honors all past American presidents.
