MAGNOLIA JUNIOR CHARITY LEAGUE SPONSORS SUMMER BACKPACK PROGRAM
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.
Have a Safe, Happy, and Fun Summer

SAGE students have been tuning in to their weekly ZOOM to see the “Masked SAGERS” this is our spin on the Masked Singers show.
The students make a mask, and share a song, riddle, or joke in a mysterious voice. The audience (students) are having a blast trying to figure out each one.
We could not let this day pass without saying THANK YOU to the two ladies who keeps us all going. Thank you Tracy Baxley and Casey Munn for all you do!!
Due to the threat of bad weather, we have moved our bins inside for the rest of the day. If weather permits, they will be back out tomorrow morning.
Mrs. Payne and her student teacher, Ms. Hardy, have been hosting a Zoom book club for their students. They are all anxious to find out what Mary Lennox finds when she unlocks the door to the garden in chapter 9.
It has been a busy week at Central. Scavenger hunts, costume parties, math brain teasers, and writing prompts, all being done through Zoom meetings. Our teachers and students are doing a phenomenal job! ❤
