PANTHER PANTRY WRAPS UP FIRST YEAR OF SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY
The Panther Pantry at East Side Elementary officially wrapped up its first year of service to children and their families in our community. Panther Pantry is a food pantry housed at East Side Elementary School that provides nutritious family meals and snack bags to students and their families to help bridge the food insecurity gap over the weekends. Even though the Panther Pantry is housed on the East Side campus, it has served students from all other Magnolia School District schools by supplementing these campuses as needs occurred.
East Side had a dream to provide their students and families with a little more food security over the weekend. During the first year of operation, 1,736 meals and 612 snack bags were sent home with students from the District.
The success of this program would not have been possible without the support of the Magnolia community, Panther Partners, Partners in Education, East Side staff, volunteers, Magnolia High School coaching staff, and head volunteer and organizer, Amy Sisson.
East Side thanks everyone involved in a program that helped bridge the gap and hopes that you will continue to support and be a part of Panther Pantry the upcoming school year.
One of the Panther Pantry Parents said it best......."Thank you for putting smiles in homes where they might not have as many reasons to smile."

*Teacher Spotlight*
Jodi Waters is the work-based learning and testing coordinator at MHS. Mrs. Waters says, "My why for becoming an educator is to help students figure their journey out. I have a strong responsibility to help others and God has called me into this profession to help students understand that no matter what life gives you, there is someone always there to help you reach your potential. Working with others is such a huge part of who I am. I have loved every student that has ever walked through the doors of my classroom. It is an honor to get to work with children and I am so thankful for the opportunities to get to be a part of the lives of our students."
Thank you Mrs. Waters for all you do for our students at MHS!
