The Pathway Express program at Sherwood Middle School in Columbus is helping kids do better in school and improve their reading and writing skills. The program recently showed off the students' creativity at the Lincoln Theatre, which is no longer in use. The school has also made a bigger difference in the community by starting the FRESH Program with help from local mentors and the Urban League. This program gives students a chance to learn about careers and do well in school in ways that aren't possible anywhere else.
