Gravette Upper Elementary had the chance to travel to the high school and enjoy the play from Gravette High School's Theatre Program! For many of these young audience members, it was their very first experience with live theater. Mr. Galloway opened the presentation by telling the kids the High School Drama class chose to perform "Rhubarb Jam" specifically because Elementary students would enjoy the colorful, high-energy play.
Not only did they get to enjoy a fantastic show, but they also saw what’s possible for them in the future as part of our school’s theater program. It was a wonderful way for younger students to connect with their older peers and be inspired by the dedication and talent on stage. Thank you to our high school actors and crew for sharing the magic of theater with these bright young minds! #LionPride

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.
The Student of the Week for November 11, 2024 is Kevin Aguilar-Magana. Mrs Bassing says that he is a joy to have in class. He diligently applies himself and contributes insightful questions. It's truly encouraging for teachers to witness students engaging thoughtfully with the material. Great work, Kevin!
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

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.

⌚ 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!
