Madelyn Payne Dunham (born October 1922, née Madelyn Lee Payne) is the maternal grandmother of United States Democratic Party Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama and raised Obama in her Hawaii home from age 10.
Madelyn Payne was born in the oil boomtown of Augusta, Kansas, to stern Methodist
parents who did not believe in drinking, playing cards or dancing. She was one of the best students in the graduating class of 1940. She married Barack Obama's grandfather, Stanley Armour Dunham, on the spring weekend of the annual junior-senior banquet in 1940, Madelyn's senior year.
While Stanley Dunham went off to serve in World War II, Madelyn worked on a Boeing assembly line. She gave birth to Obama's mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, known as Ann Dunham, in Fort Leavenworth.
While Obama's mother Ann was pursuing projects around the world, Madelyn and Stanley raised Obama so that he could attend the Punahou School in Hawaii.
In his memoir, Dreams From My Father, Obama described his grandmother as "suspicious of overwrought sentiments or overblown claims, content with common sense." He also called her "a trailblazer of sorts, the first woman vice-president of a local bank."
Madelyn Payne Dunham currently lives in Oahu, Hawaii. Unlike Barack Obama's paternal step-grandmother Sarah Obama, Madelyn Dunham has not given any interviews since 2004, on the occasion of Barack Obama's keynote address to the 2004 Democratic National Convention.

Logos Lab School is a program for gifted and talented students in middle school. It is located in rooms 200, 201, 202, and 206 of the Julia E. Test Middle School building in Richmond, Indiana.
Pull-out program
In the years of 5th & 6th grade canidate students are pulled out of their classes to go to Dennis Middle School for a sort of "practice" Logos. This is called the "pull-out program". In middle school, students in the Logos program go to the Logos Lab School which is located at Test Middle School in Richmond, Indiana. (It's location has moved in the last 8 years, so it may not stay there for long.) The Logos program is led by four excellent teachers that are over-qualified for regular teachers. The program allows students to be very relaxed, yet they still receive an education better than an ordinary Middle School. The school consists of only around 60 students, so every student gets a great opportunity to meet other students and build relationships with students their age.
The name for Logos, which is Greek, has a significance. The meaning of that word logos pretty well explains, except to a much larger degree than the school, what it is all about.
Coursework
The courses offered at Logos are good important classes that is a necessity for your child's education. French(okay wait you just said necessity for education what the does french have to with good education i mean COME ON), science (covering a large subject area of all types of sciences including chemistry, the human body, studying atoms, and so much more), humanities which covers grammar and social studies, and mathematics. There is the course that makes Logos known, and that is the projects every nine weeks. You can choose any appropriate subject and you are to do a presentation over the subject including visuals, called products at Logos, and an oral presentation.
Logos is a place where the teach get away with telling their student that they are retards.
Student evaluation
Logos uses a different grading method, unlike other local middle schools that use letter grades. Every six weeks (four times a school year) Logos students write a self-evaluation in which they are expected to reflect on their work and keep Bloom's Taxonomy 6th level of thinking, from comprehension to evaluation to evaluate work.
