🏕Meet Mrs. Emily Parker – 2nd Grade - Camping Room🏕

👩‍❤️‍👨Family: “My family consists of my husband Adam and my two dogs, Cooper and Olive.”🐶 🐶 

❤️ Personal philosophy: “… Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 

“I 100% believe that whatever trial or challenge you face, God is going before you, giving you the strength and courage to go on. With God leading and guiding my path, nothing is impossible.”❤️

👊🏻What she loves most about East Side? “The people!! My coworkers keep me laughing all day long. They are so supportive and encouraging. I am always inspired by their hard work and dedication to this school and this community.”🤝

🏃🏻‍♀️ Hobbies? “I love to run, read books, and paint.” 🎨 

🪕 She would love to learn: “It has always been a dream of mine to learn how to play the banjo. If I do learn how to play, I would love to play for my students! I have a banjo in my closet just waiting!” 🪕 

🖌 Something that might surprise people: “I am very good at painting the insides of houses. I have repainted every room in my house by myself. I love learning how to do different house projects. I am the off- brand Joana Gaines.” 🖌 

👩🏻‍🏫 Educational philosophy: “I believe that the most important thing about teaching is making sure every child knows that they are loved and cared for. Their safety and success is my top priority. When a child knows that they are in a safe environment where they are valued, the sky is the limit to what they can do.” 👩🏻‍🏫 

🐾 Why Magnolia is the choice for this Shreveport native: “I came to Arkansas because my husband had a job in Camden. I heard wonderful things about East Side, so I decided to apply. Magnolia has been the best place for us. It is so welcoming, and the people here are so kind. It has truly felt like home the past few years!” 🐾 

❤️East Side wouldn’t be the same without Mrs. Parker! We are thrilled to have this ALL-STAR on our team!🏕
