FCS recently got together and had a GREAT time of prayer, devotion, and games! Even better, our lions stepped up to the plate and this meeting was entirely student led. 👏
Tip of the day ❗ Have you checked your child's lunch balance recently? 🍽 You may be thinking, "I don't need to do that! I make my child breakfast and they bring their lunch." Think again! It seems that our Gravette Lions are actually "hobbits" thinking they need 2nd breakfast & lunch 😆 Please make sure you check the balance and if you notice that your child has been eating at home AND getting doubles at school, you can contact our Food Service Director, Sheila, at sheila.roughton@gravetteschools.net. She can flag your child's account so that when they go through the line our food service ladies know that your child eats at home/brings their lunch and will not serve them double. Thank you for checking and working alongside us on this, parents 🧡
Mrs. Youngblood's Video Editing Class started their Stop Motion unit this week. They are creating their own videos with donated items from our awesome parents and community! 🎬
Congratulations to our GMS Student of the Week! 8th-grader, Kemper Lieutard, is our winner. Mr. Stamps said, "Kemper is a very conscientious student. He helps his peers with work when needed! Kemper is kind and always has a positive attitude." 😊
HAT DAY is on TOMORROW thanks to GMS PTO 🥳 If your child would like to wear a hat to school tomorrow have them bring $1 to the GMS PTO ladies that will be set up in the cafeteria tomorrow morning. Your child will receive a stamp on their hand and be set! If your child is in athletics in the morning, they can go to the cafeteria before 2nd hour and still pay to wear a hat 👍 GMS PTO will be doing Hat day on the FIRST Friday of every month. Next hat day is December 2nd!
