BAILEY COBURN SELECTED MAGNOLIA SCHOOL DISTRICT TEACHER OF THE YEAR
Magnolia School District personnel recently selected Bailey Coburn as the 2020 District Teacher of the Year. Mrs. Coburn is the music teacher at East Side Elementary School where she instructs approximately six hundred students in grades 1-3.
Bailey is a graduate of Ashdown High School and Henderson State University. She began her career in Magnolia when she did her student teaching in the fall of 2014. She assisted with the band program and with East Side’s music program. After earning her Bachelors of Music in Education, Bailey taught in the El Dorado and Spring Hill school districts. However, she was always drawn back to Magnolia, working as the high school receptionist and finally returning to East Side as the elementary music teacher. At East Side, Bailey teaches approximately 600 students per week. She incorporates music from many cultures and time periods. She leads five music programs each year, including last year’s first-ever East Side Veterans Day program. She also includes self-regulation exercises in music class and began a weekly yoga program for students with behavioral and/or sensory issues.
Bailey is married to Russell Coburn, a former Magnolia band director. They have one son, Henry, who will be three in June. They also have their rescue dog, Molly. Bailey’s hobbies include playing piano and ukulele, learning new technology, and taking naps. She loves to uplift her coworkers and come up with innovative ideas for the classroom. She can often be found with a to-do list in one hand and a Dr. Pepper in the other. Bailey is also an advocate for mental health and pushes her students to do their best.
Mrs. Bailey is now eligible for the 2020 Arkansas Teacher of the Year competition.

Congratulations to our East Side Teacher of the Year, Bailey Coburn! We are thankful to have Mrs. Coburn as part of our team! She has a heart for students and is always coming up with creative and fun ways for our students to learn! We can't wait to see what this trailblazer has in store next for our students!
Her colleagues had this to say about her!
"BAILEY COBURN! She is phenomenal, and seriously a treasure for the school district. I have seen her lead with such passion and care for all students. She has done an incredible job during this time of continuing to teach online. I mean, have you seen her Facebook page?! I remember students on the playground singing and dancing to songs learned during music, and oh my were they having a blast! The musicals that she pulls together for our students are showstoppers. I cannot simply say enough about how wonderful of a job she does with our students; you really have to see her in action. Everything is done and said with such purpose….. YOU ARE AWESOME!!! (Hands down should be teacher of the year)"-Mrs. Nix
"I very much appreciate Mrs. Coburn!! She not only goes above and beyond for music, she is OUTSTANDING at offering extra support of classroom behavior by offering additional incentives, checking on students, and communicating with the teachers for earned rewards!! I have seen on numerous accounts, her implementing our classroom curriculum into her music class to offer additional repetitive instruction to build foundational skills across the board! Toot Toot to Mrs. Coburn!!! We are so lucky to have her!!🎉"-Mrs. Shackelford

Kids! Ms. Hagaman left you some sweet messages on the Farm Road!





Magnolia School District has been approved to join forces with Baylor University to offer the Meals-To-You program.
What does this mean? It means that meals for your student(s) will be delivered to your home!
Each household, with children ages 1-18 who qualify for free or reduced school meals, will need to go to the website www.mealstoyou.org and sign up by Monday, May 11th.
PLEASE help share this to get the word out.
This program will be replacing the food service delivery we have been doing since mid-March. Magnolia School District will not deliver meals after this Friday, 05/08.
This is a great opportunity for our community!
