Meet Mrs. Graham!
Hey Van Goghs, lend me your ears! I am Vivian Graham, your East Side elementary student's art teacher! I was blessed with a part time position 5 years ago working side by side with the Bonnie Wood. I became the full-time art teacher 4 years ago and I can't imagine working anywhere else. I recently graduated from Southern Arkansas University with my Masters in the arts of teaching (MAT). Our focus revolves around recycling, repurposing, and reusing. This shows students to trust their own natural intuitions and it also encourages creative problem solving. Building confidence in thinking differently, helps them achieve our art room goals! We are focusing on learning more about expressing our emotions in a healthy way as well as learning how to identify the feelings we are feeling. Social and emotional learning through art is one of our goals! We are also growing in our literacy, in the art room. Whether its from creative descriptive words to creating their own hieroglyphs. We do it all! Thank you for trusting us with your kiddo! If you have any questions or comments, feel free to reach out via email!
We are proud to recognize these staff members and the wonderful things that have been written about them!

Meet Ashley Thornton, East Side PIE Coordinator
"Hey! I am married to Chance Thornton and we have three children Tallulah (6), Ayla (6), and Tagg (5). I enjoy volunteering with PIE because it allows me to get to know the teachers and staff better, raise money for necessities children need, and it shows my children how important the role of being a volunteer is. The staff and teachers at East Side pour so much love and energy into our children ensuring they have a great education. I want to help give back to them in any way I can!
My favorite volunteer opportunity so far has been Donuts with Grownups. We were able to stand in for those parents/guardians who were unable to attend and I enjoyed spending some time getting to know a couple of the children."
Ashley is a GEM and is constantly checking on us, spoiling us, supporting us, and showing appreciation for our staff! YES is always her answer. She will find a way to make it happen. We are so incredibly LUCKY to have her!
If you would like to know more about PIE and how you can become involved, email PIE at magnoliaschoolspie@gmail.com.
