We're
all in this together.
No
man is an island. No man stands alone.

At HA&W we know that our success depends on the
success of our community. No one can make it through
all of life's challenges alone. We're there to help.
We contribute to and participate in many of the city's
fundraisers, charity walks and civic organizations.
Several area organizations match volunteers with groups
in need of assistance. If you have an hour or a lifetime
to give, get involved. Join us. Together we can make
Atlanta a truly great place to live, for everyone.
The
Cooke Elementary School is part of HA&Ws
Community Service Committees designated charity
groups. Each year, the committee chooses the designees
and because this particular group has touched the
hearts of all of us, the committee has chosen to work
with them for a second year.
HA&W
does different programs throughout the year including
a Back To School Program and Christmas Programs. While
in the past there were only treats, games and food,
December 2001 included gifts that went over VERY WELL
with the children evident by the huge SMILES
in the photos.

MATHCOUNTS
is the national math coaching and competition program for 7th and
8th grade students. Participants, or "mathletes," study
a wide range of math-related subjects, including geometry, probability,
metric measurement and measurement conversion, and algebra. These
mathletes compete as individuals and on teams, in both written and
oral events. For the problem of the week, the math challenge or to
