Today was JAMMED PACKED with all the things! Grinch day, crafts, and special visitors from our community and high school!

We blinked and Finn grew 3 inches overnight! Here is Mr. Finn on one of his daily walks throughout our school. He is on the lookout for good pets and snuggles. Also, check out his handlers! Walking Finn is a BIG responsibility that teaches our students about taking care of animals and the incredible amount of work that entails. Great job, boys!

Today, we were "Mad about Plaid" and recess 😋 There is football, foursquare, soccer, monkey bars, swings, slides, and so much more. Did you know recess has a vital part in helping our lions learn?? Having recess increases levels of physical activity, improves memory, attention, and concentration, helps them stay on-task in the classroom, and improves their social and emotional development (e.g., learning how to share and negotiate). Plus, the weather in the afternoons has been perfection! 🌤


Congrats to Mrs. Gripe and Ms. Cindy for winning GUE’s Brookie Bake Off last week! 🤤

Don't miss out on today's Food Pantry! Please note, to qualify for the Gravette Bright Futures Food Pantry, the student (s) who attend our district MUST live directly in your home and you must be their sole guardian. Distribution is one per household. Unfortunately, there are not enough supplies to distribute goods to student's extended family members who live outside their homes such as aunts/uncles, grandparents, etc. The GOOD NEWS is that there is another local pantry, Outreach 58:10, that can help! Details are below. We thank you for understanding! 🧡



Did you know the Gravette School District has an Instagram? Pictures of ALL your favorite lions in one place! 🦁 Please go give us a follow so you can stay up to date with all that is happening across the district! ☺
