Derrian Ford was on campus today to record a chapter for Magnolia READS! While here, he stopped by his sister’s class to talk to students about the importance of reading, found his 2nd grade teacher, Mrs. Talley, and popped in on his momma!
We also took the time to celebrate Derrian for being selected as the top player in 4A by ArBCA. He, alongside Nevi Tell, will be recognized tonight at the Benton Event Center.
It’s a great day to be a Panther!

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?!
The yearly Magnolia READS (Reading Empowers All District Students) financial literacy initiative kicked off today for students at East Side and Central Elementary Schools.
