Hi Kinders! My name is Ms. De La Cruz, soon to be Mrs. Kielhorn, and this will be my 10th year teaching kindergarten. I graduated from Kennesaw State University with a degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education with a reading endorsement. I am also trained in the Orton-Gillingham phonics program and am passionate about teaching and watching kids learn to read! I have a 12 year old daughter, Abi, that graduated from Midway a couple of years ago and is now entering 7th grade at Desana Middle School. I also have the cutest rescue mutt named Rosie. I will be getting married this year at the beach and I am very excited to be Mrs. Kielhorn! I love teaching kindergarten with all of the exploring, learning, and fun we get to have! It’s going to be a great year!

Hello my name is Melissa McLaughlin. This will be my 15th year teaching and I am happy to be a Midway Mustang. I have spent my years teaching pre-k, kindergarten, and first grade.

Hello Kinders! This will be my fourth year as a Midway Mustang! I've been teaching for 10 years, mostly in kindergarten and first grade. I attended Utah State University and the University of Phoenix, earning a Bachelors in Business and a Masters in Education. I'm also certified in Special Education, P.E. and ESOL. When not teaching I love going to the beach, reading, exercising and spending time with my husband, 4 children and 2 dogs. I believe every child has the right and capability to learn and I love helping them find their passions. Looking forward to a great year!
