PARTNER OF THE MONTH

Excellence is a 60-year tradition at Midway. Established in the early sixties, Midway was originally a community school in a sleepy farming area between Alpharetta and Cumming.

Today Midway thrives as a school with a diverse and talented population of learners that welcomes all families to a fast-growing suburb of a southern metropolis.

Named a Georgia School of Excellence, Midway has received a number of Title I and State of Georgia awards for academic achievement and gains, and was recognized as a Family Friendly school by the Georgia State Superintendent of Schools.

We Need Mentors!
Whitlow Elementary needs MENTORS!

A mentor is a volunteer that helps provide a WES student with a special, supportive relationship that will hopefully become a foundation for success in that child's life.

Mentors typically commit 30 minutes per week during school hours to meet with a student and help promote a student's self-worth, motivation, coping skills and strength of character.

Mentoring is a special way that you can help children and give back to your community. You can make a difference!
