We were right! Mr. Grinch decided to create some chaos and terrorize our littlest of lions! He tickled them until their tummies hurt and then snuck away😆
It's....it's....THE GRINCH! He even joined our students for car rider line this morning. We wonder what mischief he will be getting into today 😋
Thank you to all of the community for your support and generous donations during the food drive. We were able to donate over 1,000 food items to our food pantry. Our community is truly an amazing and unique place to live and work!
Congratulations to 2ND GRADE for winning the food drive by bringing in close to 400 items of food!!
Our Pre-K students in Ms. Hunter's class have been learning about Christmas around the world 🌏
Last week, Officer Crane pulled up a chair and spent some quality time with a few of our second graders! Such a simple moment but an important one! By sharing this time with our lions, it shows that our Police Officers are just people too and we can trust them! 🧡
Student SHOUT OUT 📢 Congrats to Tony Quintana in Mrs. Runsicks class. Last week, Tony told his teacher he was going to do 100 units (Lexia is reading & literature based learning). Not only did he hit 100 units, but he hit 112 units before lunch. 🤯 As a reward, Tony got to eat lunch with Principal Brecheen! Great job, Tony!
Tomorrow is the LAST DAY to bring goodies for the Food Pantry! Remember, each grade is competing against one another.

Aloha, it's Fri-yay! 🌺 Have a great weekend, lions!
Here's an update on our Food Drive competition! Our lions are ROCKIN' it. Pre-K: 77 items 🎉 Kindergarten: 127 items 🎉 1st grade: 91 items 🎉 2nd grade: 260 items 🎉 The last day to bring in items is Wednesday, December 13th!
Don't miss out on today's Food Pantry! Please note, to qualify for the Gravette Bright Futures Food Pantry, the student (s) who attend our district MUST live directly in your home and you must be their sole guardian. Distribution is one per household. Unfortunately, there are not enough supplies to distribute goods to student's extended family members who live outside their homes such as aunts/uncles, grandparents, etc. The GOOD NEWS is that there is another local pantry, Outreach 58:10, that can help! Details are below. We thank you for understanding! 🧡
For yesterday's "Tree Topper Time" dress-up day, Mrs. Runsick's class was prepared! 🦌 Thank you to Mrs. Runsick's parents for donating so that each student could participate and feel included ☺ We say it often, but it can always be said more, we LOVE our community! Whether it's volunteer-based, donating, or just showing up to support our students and teachers. WE. HAVE. THE. BEST. OF. THE. BEST. 🧡

This morning our Gravette School Board toured GDE and saw our phenomenal teachers in action! They also had a little surprise in their back pocket for the one and only, Mrs. Hall. 🤗 Mrs. Hall was awarded with the "A Cut Above" award. This esteemed recognition means that we SEE and THANK you, Mrs. Hall, for showing up and making SUCH a difference in the lives of your students. Please take a moment to congratulate her and show her some love! 🧡 Also, shout out to our Gravette FFA Chapter for hand making this award. It's that much more special!
Did you know the Gravette School District has an Instagram? Pictures of ALL your favorite lions in one place! 🦁 Please go give us a follow so you can stay up to date with all that is happening across the district! ☺
Congratulations to our "Habit 1: Leader in Me" students of the week! We are super proud of you both, Paxton & Dennis! 👏
Just a few pics from these past few dress-up days! 💕 Tomorrow is "Tree Topper Time: Antlers/Hats", Thursday is "Holiday Sweater", and Friday is "Christmas Vacation: Hawaiian Shirts/Leis". Don't forget, the "December to Remember" dress-up calendar is on our website! Click here: https://www.gravetteschools.net/o/gde
Did you know that there is scientific evidence that has proven that stroking a dog for 15 minutes can reduce a human’s blood pressure by 10% as well as increase the production of feel-good hormones including serotonin, prolactin, and oxytocin? Some may even say that if you snuggle up real close you'll have a 100% chance of accidentally taking a mid-day snooze. 😉 In all seriousness, Tilly is doing what she does best! By being her sweet and calm self, she helps regulate our student's emotions and allows our lions to succeed. Don't ever underestimate the power of a good hug and pet from Tilly!
