Don’t miss out on this chance to stay cozy this fall AND help our youngest Lions learn and explore in the great outdoors. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools
To record the results, students used altitude trackers, standing at a set distance to measure each rocket’s maximum height. These observations gave them real data to compare rocket designs and think critically about what factors helped their rockets fly higher or stay airborne longer. Students saw Newton’s laws move from theory to reality, proving that science is best learned by doing.
This rocket launch is a popular project year after year, and it’s thanks to Mr. Leach’s effort creating classroom activities that are both fun and applicable to the real world. These activities keeps students excited about learning and shows them how science connects to everyday life. The photos capture just 8th period, but every group got the chance to launch and track their own rockets. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools

Tony has shared his story with audiences across the country for more than a decade, helping young people understand the link between mental health, personal choices, and long-term success. He spent years battling anxiety, depression, and substance abuse, eventually serving time in prison. While incarcerated, he committed to rebuilding his life through discipline and small daily habits. That commitment carried him into a professional BMX career, where he competed at the highest levels and later coached at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
In Gravette, Tony spoke openly about the traps of negative belief systems, the importance of supportive friendships and trusted adults, and how discipline is like a muscle that grows stronger when you use it. He reminded students how the little things like making your bed, brushing your teeth, even picking up the ice cube that falls on the floor-are practice for the bigger challenges in life.
After his talk, students joined in a Q&A, asking about his BMX and Olympic experiences, his favorite sports, and his family. The room lit up when he shared his love for sushi, but controversy erupted when he claimed In-and-Out was superior to Whataburger. He also shared a love for dogs and more about his relationship with his father and his step-son.
Tony’s message to our students was that perspective, discipline, and support systems can change the course of a life. His visit reminded both students and staff that even after hardship, each day is a chance to choose good habits. 🧡🦁 #LionPride #GravetteSchools

🦁 Educators from Gravette High School and Gravette Middle School gathered this week for Universal Design for Learning (UDL) training at the Lion Learning Center.
The session brought together general education and special services staff to study how small changes in classroom design can lead to better outcomes for every learner.
Gravette Schools has entered a three-year partnership with CAST, the national leader in UDL, to strengthen instructional practices across the district. Special services is also working with the Northwest Arkansas Education Service Cooperative to provide continued training and support for this work.

This collaboration reflects a long-term commitment to building systems that work for all students. 🧡 #GravetteSchools #LionPride
