Dear Gravette Lion Family,
It is with deep sorrow that we share with you that Glenn A. Duffy Elementary School kindergarten teacher, Misty Martin, lost her life in a car accident today. Misty was a dedicated teacher in the Gravette School District for almost 27 years and touched many, many lives. We will be providing extra support and our counselors will be available as long as needed. We greatly appreciate your kind thoughts and prayers for her family, students, and fellow teachers.
- Superintendent, Mrs. Childress
