Adopts Midway Elementary to Ensure FCAT Success
Pat Garrity Goes Back to School
No time like the present…Orlando Magic Forward Pat Garrity starts early in assisting with preparations for Midway Elementary students and the FCAT. Midway Elementary improved its FCAT grade to a ‘B’ this past school year after being a ‘D’ school prior years. The Orlando Magic, Garrity and LeapFrog Schoolhouse have committed to helping Midway Elementary retain its ‘B’ grade through the Read to Achieve program and the use of the LeapFrog SchoolHouse. To ensure the school’s success, Garrity has “adopted” Midway for the upcoming school year.
Midway Elementary is one of four Read to Achieve partner schools. The other three include Nap Ford Community School, Thacker Elementary and Richmond Heights Elementary. Read to Achieve is a year-round campaign to help young people develop a life-long love for reading and encourage adults to read regularly with children. As part of the Read to Achieve program, the Orlando Magic has donated $20,000 of LeapFrog Schoolhouse products to each of its four partner schools over the last three years.
