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.

Several of our 2nd grade students competed in the Battle of the Books this morning at the Co-Op against other area schools. 📚
While they may not have taken home the top prize this time, they did an amazing job, and we are incredibly proud of their hard work, dedication, and love of reading. Competing takes courage, teamwork, and lots of preparation, and these students represented Clinton Primary so well!
Great job, readers—we are proud of you! 👏✨

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! 🌟

Magnet Supports Watkins Community Project 🌷
Magnet proudly supports Suzanne Watkins and her class in a wonderful community partnership project! Students rolled up their sleeves and got hands-on planting tulips, preparing the soil, and learning about the plant life cycle and local ecosystems.
With guidance from Ms. Watkins, students explored how bulbs grow into beautiful blooms, connecting their learning to real-world environmental stewardship. Their creativity, teamwork, and enthusiasm were on full display as they transformed the space into a vibrant area the entire community can enjoy.
Through this meaningful project, students not only gained valuable knowledge about gardening and ecosystems, but also experienced the joy of giving back. A special thank you to Ms. Watkins for leading with such passion and inspiration—this project was truly a blooming success! 🌼🌱

Black History Parade a Success! 🎉
Magnet proudly supported the Black History Parade at Clinton Primary on February 25, 2026. Students dressed as influential Black leaders and historical figures, showcasing both creativity and deep respect for the individuals they represented.
We saw inspiring portrayals of leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, and many more. Each student thoughtfully selected attire that reflected their chosen figure, and their innovation was truly on display. The parade was both educational and inspiring for all who attended.
A special thank you to Mr. Green, who led the parade and recited a portion of the iconic “I Have a Dream” speech by Martin Luther King Jr. His leadership added meaning and inspiration to an already powerful event.
We would also like to thank Chatorie Terrell for her creativity, support, and dedication in helping make the parade such a success.
Thank you to our teachers, parents, and students for making this celebration of Black history unforgettable!

🎓 Future Leaders in Action at Beryl Henry Elementary!
At Beryl Henry Elementary, students are being challenged in new and exciting ways — and recently, one student got a firsthand look at leadership through a special Principal for a Day experience!
She stepped into the role, learned what it truly takes to lead a campus, and discovered that the job involves even more responsibility and decision-making than she expected. The experience gave her a deeper appreciation for leadership and the work that happens behind the scenes every day.
Meanwhile, Mr. Jones gained fresh perspective as well, identifying a few blind spots and embracing the excitement that comes from seeing leadership through a student’s eyes.
Opportunities like this are what make Hope Public Schools special — giving students real-world experiences that build confidence, spark curiosity, and inspire the next generation of leaders.
💫 Hope Public Schools is rocking and rolling — building future leaders every day!
