PARTNERS OF THE MONTH

Midway Elementary School

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.

Vision: Midway Elementary . . . where all students succeed!      
Mission: Developing leaders who are strong in mind, body, and spirit.

Beliefs: Midway believes in growing the LEADER in all students:
L - Learning for a lifetime
E - Embracing change and innovation
A - Applying critical and creative thinking skills
D - Developing the whole child
E - Engaging in relationships to communicate, collaborate, and contribute
R - Rising above expectations

The Encouragement Project

Founded in 2015, the heart of The Encouragement Project is simply to encourage others—both those who donate and those being served....
They provide several avenues to achieve this goal, including:

  • Bears and Friends - Provides new/gently used stuffed animals to children in foster care or other difficult situations.
  • Hugs and Kisses - Crafters in our community produce knitted scarves (hugs), hats (kisses), blanket, etc. to distribute to those in need.
  • Sew It Seams - Handmade, unused items such as quilts, adult bibs, and bags are donated and given to hospitals, retirement facilities, etc.
  • Simple Gifts - Homemade, beautifully decorated paper containers are filled with a sweet treat and distributed to healthcare workers, teachers, church staff, emergency services personnel, and more.
  • The Book Drop - New and gently used books collected are then given to local organizations, who then distribute them to children and families in their communities who otherwise would not have access to them.
