Magnolia Middle School

Magnolia Middle School took 76 6th-8th grade students to Solo and Ensemble at White Hall Middle School. For many of them, this was the first time performing a solo for a judge, which is very nerve-wracking! Out of the 76 students, FIFTY-SEVEN students received Superior ratings, which is the highest rating possible. Fourteen students received Excellent ratings, and five students received Good ratings. It’s been a while since Magnolia has taken a group to Solo and Ensemble, so the middle school directors are very proud of the students for doing so well.

Congratulations to our students who participated in the Special Olympics! We are so proud of them!

Each year as East Side and Central Elementary Schools are participating in the Magnolia READS financial literacy event, the district and campuses also enjoy involving community members in the project. Many community members and parents are asked to be guest readers for chapters in this year’s book The Lemonade War. Another way community members are involved in the project is through the Magnolia READS Video Series. This year, the video series theme is “Multi-generational Family Businesses in Magnolia.” Business owners or employees, most of whom are Magnolia graduates or family members of Magnolia graduates, will share how their businesses began with the first generation to third and fourth generation family members who currently own or work in their businesses. Enjoy this year’s video series and the history of many of Magnolia’s family businesses. The first video comes from Jennifer Lewis Sanders, a 1988 Magnolia graduate, who shares how her family business, Lewis Funeral Home, began and is now owned and managed by the fourth generation.
