Yesterday, 5th grade got the grand tour of GMS! They met their future teachers, learned the layout of the school, and were amazed that in 6th grade you switch classes so many times.
Ms. Ozbun is needing TWO MORE parent volunteers to help monitor student's play at the GUE Chess tournament being held on May 18th. Volunteers need to know how to play chess fairly well but don't need to be experts. She is also needing to borrow some chess games! You can email her at elizabeth.ozbun@gravetteschools.net.

For teacher appreciation week, Dr. Barrett decided to host a superhero contest. She split our teachers into teams and they had chances throughout this week to earn points. Tomorrow, whichever team has the most points gets a secret prize! 🙊 Way to get in the spirit, Mrs. Knuckles, Coach Paslay, Mr. Smith, and Mrs. Gripe!
IMMUNIZATION REMINDER ❗ Students who will be age 11 on or before 9-1-23 are required to have a Tdap immunization. If your child will be entering 6th grade for the 2023-2024 school year, please update their immunizations this summer and send the documentation to school. One dose of meningococcal vaccine is required for 7th grade. If a dose was give at age 11 they do not need another dose. Students who have an exemption for immunizations must apply this summer for a 2023-2024 school year exemption from the Arkansas Department of Health. This must be done every year. Please contact your child's school nurse for any questions!
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to all of our GUE Staff 🧡 Please take a moment out of your day to shout out your child's teacher and let them know how much we love and appreciate everything they do!

Dear Gravette Lion Family,
It is with deep sorrow that we share with you that Glenn A. Duffy Elementary School kindergarten teacher, Misty Martin, lost her life in a car accident today. Misty was a dedicated teacher in the Gravette School District for almost 27 years and touched many, many lives. We will be providing extra support and our counselors will be available as long as needed. We greatly appreciate your kind thoughts and prayers for her family, students, and fellow teachers.
- Superintendent, Mrs. Childress
