For the second year, the Builders Club at GMS have prepared heartfelt cards for the residents at Apple Creek Nursing Home. In total they made 120, one for every resident! 💌 This special project was made possible by the proceeds from our fall dance, where Builders Club members ran the concession stand, photo booth, and worked hard to decorate. The Builders Club is a service-focused youth division of the Gravette Kiwanis organization, and they’re always looking for ways to support our community! Through dances and other events, they’ve donated to families in need, funded the snack pack program, supported the Kindergarten and Pre-K Easter egg hunts, and contributed to local charities like the NWA Children’s Shelter. They even run the annual food pantry donation project during the holiday season. Thank you to all the Builders Club members for your hard work, and to everyone who supports our students! #LionPride 🧡

Mrs. Rhea’s 6th-grade chart the course for learning by playing Battleship to practice graphing points on a coordinate plane. Games and simulations like this one help students see how math applies in the real world. Playing games in learning encourages teamwork, boosts critical thinking, and provides a hands-on, engaging way to practice concepts. Thank you to Mrs. Rhea for sharing! 🦁🧡 #LionPride
