Every week since 1997, Roswell Kiwanians have been mentoring students at Crabapple Middle School. School counselors identify students in need of help and assist Kiwanians with effective mentoring. Students with whom Kiwanians work are weak in math skills. This is the 13th year for Mathaletes.
Kiwanis mentors: Judy Allen, Fred Levy, Ron Jackson, Jim McKelvey and Roger Lamprey. Chris Van de Griend also serves as a mentor. Current mentors include Ron Jackson, ROger Lamprey, Janet Liberman and Mark Selman.

Mentors arrive when school begins and spend about 50 minutes per week with students. Kiwanians use school-provided computer software to help with math functions. Additionally, Historic Roswell Kiwanis purchased workbooks that are the companion material to the software.
As a result of this and other efforts at Crabapple Middle School, Historic Roswell Kiwanis was awarded the 2005 Prestigious Partnership of the Year award by the Fulton Schools Foundation. Fulton County Public Schools is a system of 90,000 students.
