In order to support and enhance the Magnet Program and experience for our students and families, the Magnet Foundation relies not only on the financial support of our Magnet families, but we also rely on their time. For example, each board member of the Foundation is a parent volunteer who contributes their time and talents to ensure that the Magnet School can continue to accomplish its mission. By playing an active role in our children’s education, we are investing in our future leaders and innovators, and we'd love to have your help! Here are some ways your time can be used to benefit the Wheeler Magnet program!

Hospitality

Internship Sponsor
Are you in a position to provide a meaningful internship to a Wheeler Magnet Senior? Internship and Senior Project are the capstone of your student’s education at Wheeler. Consider the possibilities.
Magnet Fix-it Days
Twice per year on a Saturday morning, assist with small jobs such as minor repairs, as well as outdoor and indoor clean-up in and around the Magnet building.
Magnet Senior Celebration
This memorable event for graduating Seniors and their families, held in may, needs many volunteers. Help prepare for the festivities (invitations, slide show, decorations), set-up, clean-up, or be involved in one of the many other tasks involved.
Middle School Outreach
Get the message out to Middle Schools about this tremendous opportunity for students with a strong interest in math and science. Also, disseminate information regarding camps and other special opportunities at the Magnet to Cobb middle schools.
Teacher Advisements Dinners
Help prepare or secure, serve, setup and/or clean-up dinners for 10-18 teachers at the eight student advisements throughout the school year. It means a great deal to the teachers to have a homemade meal to eat while staying late to advise our students.
