WALKER PRE-K CENTER SELECTS CYNTHIA CATER AS TEACHER OF THE YEAR
Cynthia Cater was recently selected as the Walker Pre-K Center’s 2021 Teacher of the Year. Cynthia is originally from Cotton Valley, Louisiana and graduated high school from there in 1975. She then attended Louisiana Tech and McNeese State University and received her degree in Elementary Education. Her first teaching job was in Vinton, Louisiana. After a few years teaching there, she decided to start a family and be a stay at home mom. She did this for eleven years until all of her children were in school. During that time, Cynthia returned to school to work on her Early Childhood certification. Upon completion of her certification, she began teaching pre-kindergarten students in Springhill, Louisiana. After working twenty years in Springhill, she decided to retire because she and her husband had adopted a baby. After six years of retirement, with some substitute teaching, she felt the pull to go back into education.
Cynthia states, “It’s very hard for a teacher’s heart to truly retire. The opportunity to come back and teach at Walker Pre-Kindergarten Center was an answered prayer and an awesome blessing. I truly love to come to work every day. This is my second year teaching at Walker and I can say that the staff here is second to none. I am blessed!”
Cynthia is married to Doug Cater and together they have seven children and seven grandchildren. She and her family live in Shongaloo where she enjoys country living and having plenty of room for the grands to play and explore. She attends New Sarepta Baptist Church where she teaches two and three year-old children and sings in the choir.

MAGNOLIA SCHOOL DISTRICT CONTINUES REMOTE LEARNING FRIDAY
The Magnolia School District will continue Remote Learning Friday during the spring semester for students in grades K-12. The first Remote Learning Friday of the semester will be January 8, 2021.
The purpose of Remote Learning Friday is to allow teachers time to work specifically with virtual students and to plan and prepare lessons for virtual and on-site students. This will benefit all students because it will improve the quality of instruction for both options.
Parents are reminded that buses will not run morning or evening routes. Breakfast and lunch will be served on each campus for students in attendance and for those who just come on campus for meals.
Walker Pre-K will remain open on its regular schedule; however, buses will not run. Parents will need to bring students to Walker Pre-K in the morning and pick them up in the afternoon.

All proceeds from this event, will be donated to Magnolia Specialized Services!
