🩸 The Gravette High School HOSA blood drive has concluded with record-breaking participation from our student body and community. This effort directly addresses the critical inventory challenges currently facing the Community Blood Center of the Ozarks.

🔔 The Gravette Middle School Choir Department has received a $1,250 grant from the Peter R. Marsh Foundation to expand musical education. The grant funds will enable the music department to introduce handbell instruction as a specialized skill, adding a new layer of beauty and technique to future concerts.
Acceptance of this award will initiate a semester-long service project where three choir groups will travel to local senior facilities. These visits combine musical performance with designated time for students to enjoy the company of local seniors and create special intergenerational experiences.
Our community can look forward to hearing the distinct resonance of handbells enhancing our choir performances very soon. Thank you to Mrs. Galloway for the continued effort seeking new opportunities for our kids. We are also deeply grateful to the Peter R. Marsh Foundation for investing in our students and helping us bridge the gap between generations through music. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools

🤝 Gravette High School FFA students recently installed new Blessing Boxes at two locations in our area. This project expands local access to essential resources and utilizes a $1,200 National FFA Living to Serve Grant awarded to the chapter last fall.
Students in our agriculture mechanics classes applied their technical skills to design and construct these structures for placement at the First Christian Church of Gravette and Sulphur Springs City Park. These units are now active and ready for use by anyone in the region who requires assistance. The chapter is now launching a collection campaign for non-perishable goods and canned foods to ensure these pantries remain stocked for the public.
Community members may contribute to this effort by bringing donations to Mr. Malott or Ms. Macleod at the high school or by placing items directly into the boxes. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve our area through the hard work of our students. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools

🚓 Local Community Police Departments, including Gravette, Highfill, and Bella Vista, came together today to share the Christmas cheer with a group of wonderful Gravette kids for the 10th Annual "Shop With a Cop."
The morning began in the Gravette Upper Elementary cafeteria, where Resource Officer Crane surprised everyone in a festive light-up holiday suit that immediately had the children laughing. After officers drew names to find their partners, the pairs boarded a bus for a police-escorted caravan to the store. The kids explored the aisles with their officers, choosing gifts that fit their interests, from cameras and electronics to new toys and favorite accessories.
Following the shopping trip, the group traveled to the Civic Center where officers served a lunch of pizza, juice, and cookies. This meal was generously donated by the Phillips 66 Gravette Station, a strong supporter of Gravette Schools.
The kids showed thoughtful, steady character throughout the day. Even with the excitement of the season, they approached each moment with gratitude, asking politely for a single cookie when more were offered. We are proud of the character these young Lions displayed and thankful for the community fundraisers and private donors who make this program possible. Thank you most of all to the officers who protect our community each day and still set aside time to share holiday cheer with kids and families. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools
🩺 Students from Mrs. Hilger's medical terminology class and Mrs. Schaffer's anatomy and physiology class traveled to Missouri Southern State University in Joplin for an immersive lesson. This trip allowed our high schoolers to engage with advanced technology and deepen their understanding of the human body.
Dr. Sherry Whiteman led a session on the cardiovascular system, giving the group hands-on access to an Anatomage machine. This technology simulates a virtual cadaver, allowing the class to examine intricate anatomical details that are usually reserved for university settings. It provides a level of realism that textbooks simply cannot match.
The visit concluded with a knowledge competition where Ian Nelson, Lauryn Taylor, Amylia Vang, and James McNaughton secured the "heavyweight belt" by answering the most questions correctly. Thank you Mrs. Hilger and Mrs. Schaffer for coordinating this trip and helping our aspiring medical professionals see what lies ahead in their education. And thank you to Mrs. Hilger for sharing the story and photos from the trip!🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools
