Leave a tribute for R. Kim Grady.
I am sad to hear of Kim's passing. I greatly enjoyed taking her German 1-4 classes at Patton High School. Her passion for foreign languages and cultural studies positively impacted those around her. Prayers for her family and friends.
I had the great good fortune to know Kim Grady as a valued World Languages colleague in Burke County back in the 90’s. Our mission was to introduce foreign languages to K-6 students. It was an exciting time that called for commitment, creativity, and energy. Kim was the absolute perfect ambassador. She was an inspired teacher and was 100% devoted to her students. I know she will be missed. Sending love and the most sincère condoléances to her family, friends, and former students and co-workers.
Kim and I taught together for years. She was brilliant and always looked for ways to reach her students and engage them in learning French or German. She was an incredible teacher and a fine colleague.
I was Kim’s French teacher at Freedom High. In the 70’s She was a wonderful student and very creative. I’m sorry to learn of her passing.
Ms. Grady was the best teacher I ever had in highschool , she taught me to be stronger as an individual and I will never forget the influences she had on me, Seeing this was surprise because she was fighter, she fought for everything on her life and I can now never tell her the influence she had me.
