Gravette High School held the annual Veterans Day Assembly this year with an impressive ceremony. WoodmenLife presented the flag as Military Personnel, Veterans, and First Responders stood to be recognized for their service to our country and community. Sgt. Robert Huff from our local Marine office spoke to students, followed by a presentation by Sal Gonzalez, an Iraq war veteran of the Wounded Warrior Project. Thank you to our guests and staff for making this day of recognition for Veterans meaningful.
On Veterans Day we recognize the remarkable men and women who have served their country. From those on the front lines to those providing critical support behind the scenes, every service member forms a network of strength, skills, and resilience that keeps our armed forces operating and defending us all. Today, we express our gratitude for every veteran, in every role, who has contributed to safeguarding our freedom and well-being. Thank you for your service.
"On Veterans Day we honor all,
Who answered to a service call.
Soldiers young, and soldiers old,
Fought for freedom, brave and bold.
Some have lived, while others died,
And all of them deserve our pride. "
- “Veterans Day” by Cheryl Dyson
Congratulations to Mrs. Robinson at Upper Elementary on her $500 award from Arvest Bank's “We Love Teachers” initiative!
With this generous gift from Arvest, Mrs. Robinson will expand our calming centers and provide sensory-friendly resources to help students develop essential self-regulation and conflict-resolution skills. These resources give our kids the tools they need to find calm, focus, and confidence—skills they’ll carry far beyond the classroom.
Dr. Barrett nominated Mrs. Robinson because of her true passion and dedication to our students. In addition to being a devoted counselor, she also runs leadership programs including Business Buddies. This program has local professionals, including one of our very own Arvest moms, engage with students to explore different fields and gain hands-on insights into economics and business.
A special thanks to Arvest Bank for recognizing the importance of counselors like Mrs. Robinson. Your support reminds us all of the critical role counselors play in helping our children thrive. 💙 #ArvestLovesTeachers #LionPride
🏅 Incredible finishes for Gravette Cross Country at the 2024 Arkansas State Championships! 🏅
Our Lions gave it their all on the course in Hot Springs! Both teams fought hard against the best in the state, with the Boys team finishing as 4A State Runner-Up, missing the championship by just 1 point! The Girls team secured a fantastic 3rd Place finish as they aimed for a 3-peat.
Big shout-out to Paxon Chernota, Cutter Franks, Litzy Garcia, and Kiera Ralph for placing in the top ten and bringing home individual medals! We’re so proud of the grit, determination, and sportsmanship shown by all our runners.
Special thanks to Coach Weller for his dedication and leadership this season—our teams couldn't have achieved this success without him! #LionPride

🗳️Today was voting day in Mrs. Crawford’s class! The kindergartners learned all about the voting process by reading "Duck for President". They had a lively discussion about the pros and cons of each candidate: 🦆 **Candidate Duck**, known for his charismatic quacking and promise of all-you-can-eat snacks, vs. 🚜 **Candidate Farmer Brown**, who vowed to bring fresh veggies and farm-fresh eggs to every table. 🌽
After hearing the arguments, it was time to cast their votes! The ballots were counted, and **Duck won by one vote!** 🎉🦆 The students got to experience the excitement of a mini election, learning firsthand what it's like to exercise their right to vote. It was such a special day in the classroom! 🗳️

Lady Lions take down Prairie Grove 3-0 to become the 4A-1 District Champions! #LionPride 🦁🟠
Mr. Leach dropped a new science experiment this week... Literally! Students were challenged to design structures to protect eggs from a fall, prompting them to think creatively and critically. The design tests even involved a scissor lift for higher elevation than ever before. Smaller experiments earlier showed that not every design worked as intended, so each group adapted and improved on their designs for this ultimate test. Mr. Leach showed students how resilience and iteration are part of learning and the scientific method.
Huge thank you to 7 Brew for their campaign at our Homecoming game last week!
