Magnolia READS Kick-off
On Monday, April 11, students at East Side and Central Elementary Schools will once again embark on a special project, an all-school book club and financial literacy project called Magnolia READS. The acronym READS stands for Reading Empowers All District Students.
Each kindergarten through fifth grade family will receive a copy of the same book—Lunch Money by Andrew Clements.
Families are encouraged to make time to participate in this fun and worthwhile family activity. Reading aloud at home with your children is a valuable experience that better prepares your child to be an effective reader.
While students at the elementary schools will read the book, other district students will also be involved in this project.
For the third year, Farmers Bank & Trust Co. is collaborating with the District on the Magnolia READS project. Farmers purchased the book Lunch Money for all the students and staff in grades K-5. Economics Arkansas also partners in the project. They helped supply the students and staff with resources to use while reading the book.
The District extends our deepest appreciation to Farmers Bank & Trust for the donation to purchase the Magnolia READS books and to Economics Arkansas for supplying the supplemental resources and bookmarks for all students.
Thank you for reading Chapter 1, Mr. Ward! Who will be our guest readers today?!

We are shouting HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY to our student intern, Rebecca Sandusky! She works so hard here at East Side and we LOVE her!

Posters will be available for purchase at tonight's PICTURES WITH THE PANTHERS event!

We are excited to see our East Side kiddos TONIGHT at PICTURES AND AUTOGRAPHS WITH THE PANTHERS! Bring a picture, piece of paper, t-shirt, basketball, whatever you want to have signed with you to the Panther Arena from 5:30pm-7:30pm!
These young men have shown our kiddos so much attention by reading in classrooms, serving as lunch buddies at Picnic on the Playground, and carline just this year to name a few! Did you know?! When our kiddos are having extra rough days, sometimes the kids and coaches pay special visits. We are proud of these role models that make time for our young Panthers! It is always a great day to be a Panther!
