As we come to the end of the school year, we have several students across the district that have outstanding lunch balances. Parents, please check your child's lunch balance here: https://www.ezschoolpay.com/Login.aspx
At each campus, we have a Care account where community members can donate money that will be applied to these unpaid lunch balances. It helps to reduce the debt to the student and family. There are several ways you can contribute if you feel led: cash & checks (make checks out to 'Gravette School Food Service" - drop all donations off at the school’s front office and mention it's for the care account) or get in touch with Food Service Director, Sheila, at 479-787-4100 ext. 1101.
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.
