With this said, I say no more as in no way can I minimize or compete with this appreciation which genuinely comes from my heart and the heart of Midway. #mesHEART

Jan Fickling, Principal of Midway Elementary
Congratulations, Mrs. Aldridge!!!
It is with great sadness but joy that we extend congratulations to Mrs. LaQuana Aldridge! Mrs. Aldridge will be leaving us to join the Saxe Gotha Elementary School family. Earlier in the spring she was accepted into the District's Aspiring Principals Academy. This learning opportunity will be extended and enhanced by experiencing a different school family.
Mrs. Aldridge is a life-long learner so this is exciting for her!!! Yes, she will miss us and likewise we will miss her! This is truly bittersweet as it is our loss but a true adventure in learning for Mrs. Aldridge! However...once a Mustang, always a Mustang! We will be watching her grow and progress in LexOne!! Congratulations!!!
We will miss you Mrs Aldridge!!
