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
🏅 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

Ten Health Occupation Students of America (HOSA) Members helped with the Flu Clinic held on Oct. 17th! 🩺💉 District wide there were over 200 influenza immunizations given. Our nurses and the health department greatly appreciated these students, who assisted in holding the younger students, completed paperwork, handed out suckers and transported kids to and from the classroom. Thanks for volunteering! And thanks to everyone who got their vaccines for doing your part to reduce the spread of deadly viruses 🦠🛡️

Last week students had the option between doing an essay or a presentation to recognize National Mole Day, the celebration over the unit of measurement known as the "mole." They also had a 3rd option to do a craft project designing a mole mascot... To much shock and surprise, most kids chose the craft. 😂
⚛️ National Mole Day was started in the 1980s by chemistry teachers across the nation.
One mole is equal to 6.022x10^23 particles, in the same way saying 1 dozen =12 things. A number as large as the “mole” is helpful when working with extremely small things like atoms and molecules. 🔬
The National Mole Day celebration and related projects have been happening at Gravette High School for over 20 years. Chemistry Teacher Brittany Lovell shared that a lot of students will have their grandmas or other family members help with the project.
Chemistry students at GHS are getting ready to start using the mole to help find amounts of substances such as reactants and products in a chemical reaction during the 2nd and 3rd quarter. This project is a fun little “kick-off” event for a topic that can be a little challenging.
The Student of the Week for October 28, 2024 is Kristyn Henzie. Mrs. Kedrowski nominated Kristyn Henzie and said "Kristyn puts in her best every day! She quietly does everything I ask. She deserves to be told that she is amazing!!"
95 Gravette High School FBLA Members attended their Fall Conference at The Jones Center this week. The students were inspired by hearing from the owner of Ozark Mountain Bagel, Bill Ford. The students were also recognized for having the largest chapter in attendance! We had two outstanding young men that were a great representation of our community serving as district officers, Carter Flynt and Cameron Bedwell! Way to go, Gravette FBLA!
October 21st through the 25th is School Bus Safety Week! 🚌 🛑
School safety starts at the bus stop. Share these tips with your children:
⌚ Arrive at the bus stop five minutes early.
🚏 Stand five giant steps away from the curb.
🚌 Wait until the bus stops, the door opens, and the driver says it’s okay before stepping onto the bus.
Thank you for working together to keep kids safe! Thank you to our transportation staff for their diligence and service!
The Student of the Week for October 21, 2024 is Rome Parker. Mrs. Cluck says Rome is an incredibly bright, positive, caring, and empathic young man! He is always ready to learn, collaborate with his peers, and contribute to a positive classroom environment!
