Last week, students used their PBIS Reward points to purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win a variety of prizes. Parents, you will be contacted today to make arrangements for picking up items. Congratulations to all the winners! ๐


Mrs. Knuckles artists have been working with clay over the past week! Look at those delicious pies - straight out of the oven ๐ฅง



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 ๐ 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! ๐ค

Congrats to Mrs. Gripe and Ms. Cindy for winning GUEโs Brookie Bake Off last week! ๐คค

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! ๐งก

It's almost that time of the year! Battle of the Books is a competition in which our students choose one staff member to challenge. If the student earns more AR points than the staff member they are challenging, then they get a prize. Sign-ups for students are the week of December 11th through Mrs. Gripe. The challenge officially begins December 21st so everyone can read and test over break. We will send out another reminder when the time comes, but get excited! ๐

It's almost time for our annual tradition of counting down the days until Christmas Break by having dress-up spirit days! ๐ฅณ Please take a look at the calendar below and encourage your child to join in on the fun! Note: GDE/GUE are following a different calendar than GMS/GHS.

Don't forget! THIS FRIDAY starts our annual countdown of dress-up spirit days until Christmas Break! ๐

Before our Thanksgiving Break, Mrs. Simpson's 5th graders made some waffle turkeys! Looks yummy, lions!
