A Day of Discovery: Learning About Nature from Park Rangers🌲🌿
Recently, our students enjoyed a special visit sponsored by Magnet from park rangers Sheila Malone and Ashton Farrell, who brought an exciting lesson about nature right to our classrooms!
Students explored fascinating topics like waterfalls, valleys, tree cookies, and pine cones, learning how each plays an important role in our natural world. It was like taking a trip into the forest without leaving school! 🌄
Rangers explained how waterfalls can shape the land over time, forming valleys, and how these areas provide important habitats for plants and animals. Students were especially interested in tree cookies, where they learned how to count rings to determine a tree’s age and even discover clues about past weather conditions. 🌳
They also examined pine cones and learned how they protect seeds and help grow new trees—showing how even small parts of nature play a big role in the environment.
This hands-on experience helped students see how everything in nature is connected and inspired them to observe, explore, and appreciate the world around them.
Thank you to our park rangers and Magnet for providing such a meaningful learning experience! 💚

The Hurricane Challenge Continues! 🌪️🔧
Students recently put their structures to the test as part of their Designing for Weather Hazards STEAM activity. To make the challenge even more exciting, AP Pam Harris added a special twist by bringing in her leaf blower to simulate powerful hurricane-force winds.
Students gathered with anticipation as the “leaf blower hurricane” blasted against their carefully built structures. When a few small pieces flew off, students gasped and laughed, but the excitement only grew as they watched to see what would happen next.
Despite the strong gusts, the main structures remained standing, showing the strength of the students’ designs and their understanding of how buildings can be constructed to withstand severe weather.
This hands-on experience helped students see how engineering, design, and problem-solving play an important role in protecting structures during hurricanes while making learning both engaging and fun.

Designing for Weather Hazards: An Engaging STEAM Experience 🌪️🔧
Magnet proudly supported Mrs. Kayla Bowden’s class in an exciting STEAM activity using the Designing for Weather Hazards curriculum. This hands-on lesson gave students the opportunity to explore engineering concepts while using creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.
Students were challenged to design and build structures that could withstand hurricane-force winds. Before building, they spent time planning, discussing ideas, and developing strategies for their designs. Using a variety of materials, students constructed their structures and carefully considered how to make them strong and stable.
To test their designs, Mrs. Bowden used a fan and hair dryer to simulate hurricane winds. Students watched closely to see how their structures performed and discussed which designs were successful and which might need improvement. This testing phase encouraged critical thinking about design, structure, and the forces of nature.
This activity was both engaging and educational, showing how Magnet’s STEAM initiative can be integrated into everyday classroom learning. Through hands-on exploration, students experienced the power of “learning by doing” while applying science, engineering, and creative thinking to solve a real-world problem.

Magnet sponsored a trip to the Perot Theatre in Texarkana on March 6, 2026, led by Tristan McMahan and Christopher Mannis. The performance was part of a yearly educational series connected with Carnegie Hall called Link Up.
This year’s theme, “The Orchestra Sings,” introduced students in Grades 3–5 to orchestral music through an interactive concert with the The Texarkana Symphony Orchestra recently provided our students with an incredible musical experience through the Link Up program! 🎶
Through this program, music classroom materials are mailed to teachers so students can learn the songs and musical concepts before attending the performance. This preparation allows students to fully engage with the music and understand what they are hearing.
During the concert, students participated by singing, moving, and playing instruments along with the orchestra, making the experience interactive and memorable. Opportunities like this help students connect what they learn in the classroom with the excitement of a live orchestral performance.
We are fortunate to have the Texarkana Symphony Orchestra serving the Four States area and partnering with schools to inspire young musicians and build a lifelong appreciation for music. 🎻✨

Magnet Supports Art Students Learning About Mae Jemison 🚀🎨
Magnet proudly supports Mrs. Walton’s art students as they explore the life and legacy of Mae Jemison — the first African American woman to travel into space. Students learned about her historic journey aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour, as well as her powerful impact on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
Widely recognized for her inspiring words on imagination, self-belief, and perseverance, Mae Jemison’s quote, “Never be limited by other people’s limited imagination,” encouraged students to dream boldly and think beyond boundaries.
The artwork created by our talented students beautifully reflects her spirit — full of creativity, innovation, and limitless possibility. Their pieces highlight themes of space exploration, determination, and the power of believing in oneself.
We are so proud of our students for embracing this lesson with enthusiasm and expressing their learning through such meaningful and imaginative art! 🌟
