Kaylee designed her box based on Rani from the Dragon Girls book series, Kash built his based on Steve from the video game Minecraft, and Harper created hers based on Zoey from KPop Demon Hunters, a Netflix film and YouTube show. These three students earned a 50 dollar shopping spree at the Book Fair!
While some of these characters come from games, shows, and other media, the Book Fair is filled with books that connect to the worlds kids already love. Whether it’s dragons, video games, or pop-inspired adventures, these familiar characters help spark excitement and draw students into reading. Thank you to every student who submitted a project and helped fill the library with functional art. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools

Mrs. Hunter led her class through a week of learning about animal care. Students learned how to provide food, water, and shelter for their pets. This lesson helps children understand that caring for another requires consistent action and attention.
Thank you to Mrs. Hunter for sharing! When students practice these skills at school, they develop a greater awareness of the needs of others. These young Lions are building the habits they need to grow into helpful members of our community. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools
