🧊Thursday, January 29, 2026 Update 🧊
As much as we are ready to get back in school, we simply have too many roads throughout the district that are unsafe for buses, students, and staff to travel.
We will be closed tomorrow, Friday, Jan. 30, 2026. Have a great weekend, and we will see you Monday!
Unfortunately, current road conditions throughout the district are unsafe for buses, students, and staff. As such, MSD will be closed on Thursday, January 29, 2026. Hopefully, we can return to school on Friday.
We will send out a schedule for any required make-up days after we return, but as of now, we have enough banked instructional minutes to not affect scheduled breaks.
We are monitoring road conditions closely and will make a decision regarding school tomorrow later this evening. Many county roads remain unsafe for buses to travel.
Hopefully, conditions will improve with higher temperatures this afternoon.
We are ready to see our kids! ❤️🐾
Due to poor road conditions and accumulated ice, Magnolia School District will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday, January 28.
We are continuing to monitor road conditions closely and will provide updates as soon as decisions are finalized for Thursday, January 29th.
Due to winter weather conditions, Magnolia School District will be closed tomorrow, Tuesday, January 27, 2026.
Please stay safe and warm.

Ke’niahya Mallory, a senior at Magnolia High School, is an outstanding student known not only for her academic motivation and bright personality, but also for her incredible artistic talent — crocheting!
Whether she’s listening attentively in class, enjoying lunch in the cafeteria, or spending time with friends, Ke’niahya’s hands are almost always busy creating something beautiful. And she doesn’t just crochet simple potholders or blankets — she designs and creates sweaters, full outfits, stuffed animals, and even miniature Panther cheerleaders! What’s even more impressive is that Ke’niahya doesn’t rely on patterns; she free-hands most of her designs with creativity and confidence.
Ke’niahya began crocheting in 2022, when she was only 14 years old. “It was a struggle at first, so I took a three-month break,” she shared. “I learned from YouTube, and ever since then, I’ve been doing great!”
Her English teacher, Mrs. Hamilton, recalls her first impression:
“At first, I was a little shocked when, in 10th grade, Ke’niahya pulled out balls of yarn and crochet needles in class and began making headbands. But I quickly realized this wasn’t just her hobby — it was her form of doodling. Crocheting kept her hands busy, so she could focus on the lesson.”
In 2024, Ke’niahya turned her passion into a business: Crochet Cutie, offering “Handmade happiness crafted with love.” You can check out more of her designs on Facebook and TikTok at @crochet_cutie.
Ke’niahya truly represents what it means to be Panther P.R.O.U.D. Her natural artistic talent, creativity, and determination will serve her well as she plans to attend cosmetology school after graduation.
This is Braxten Coleman — a face many of you may recognize from our student panel at Opening Session. During the panel, Braxten shared that he loved math but wasn’t the biggest fan of reading. Well, that has certainly changed!
Since his very first day in the Frog Room, Braxten has been “hopping” right into reading like a pro! 🐸📖
He started out with the Miss Daisy is Crazy series — and he’s been hooked ever since. Braxten has an incredible ability to focus; he can read and listen at the same time! Whether he’s working on assignments or reading between activities, his passion for books shines through.
Just last month, Braxten earned the most AR points in 2nd grade — a huge accomplishment that shows how far he’s come.
Braxten, we are “toadally” proud of your growth, determination, and enthusiasm for learning. We can’t wait to see all the great things you’ll achieve next! 💚🐸

Magnolia’s Knox Stephens Finishes in Top 5 at ASGA High School Overall Championship
Meet Bailey Marshall, a 6th grader at Magnolia Middle School who’s discovering the power of music—and the difference it can make!
Just like every student when school begins, Bailey was adjusting to new routines and expectations at MMS. Thanks to the support of his teachers, he soon discovered a spark that motivated him to give his best every day.
From the moment Bailey received his baritone in the MMS beginner band and started playing his first notes, his attitude and effort in all his classes improved. His teacher, Mrs. Foster, has noticed that Bailey is now more enthusiastic, attentive, and actively participating every day.
Because of his passion for music, Bailey has grown into a stronger student—and an inspiration to those around him. 🎶
We can’t wait to see Bailey continue to shine, both in the classroom and on the stage! 💫

Panther Cross Country Team Shows Exceptional Character and Support in DeQueen Meet
Magnolia, AR — At the Leopard Invitational in De Queen, AR, on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, one Panther runner faced an unexpected setback when he twisted his knee during the race. While the injury affected his performance, what stood out most was the incredible display of teamwork, compassion, and Panther spirit shown by his fellow athletes.
As the runner worked to make it back to the tent, his teammates immediately rallied to his side. Several athletes, along with the runners' parent, helped him walk, while others provided encouragement and support every step of the way. Head coach of Panther Cross Country, Ryan Franks, quickly contacted Magnolia Panther Athletic Trainer John Caston, who guided teammates Presley Hanson and Dejuan Dismuke, who are in the Magnolia School District’s Athletic Training program, on wrapping his knee to prevent future injuries.
In addition to their physical support, the team showed heartfelt admiration for their teammate’s perseverance and determination to finish the race despite his injury. Their collective encouragement, quick action, and unwavering care exemplify what it means to be a Panther.
“This team is so amazing,” the athlete's mom said. “Their capacity to rally around one another in times of need is a hallmark of their exceptional character. As a team parent, I am deeply grateful to have witnessed this team’s growth and development over the years and eagerly look forward to their future achievements.”
The Magnolia School District celebrates the Panther Cross Country team not only for their athletic performance, but also for the outstanding sportsmanship, empathy, and unity they continue to display.
