Some stories began in high school, some online, some in a principal’s office, and some have been going strong for decades. Each one reminds us that Gravette is where connections last forever and always.
Congratulations to the happy couples who have made the workplace their home away from home. Your classrooms, gyms, offices, and rehearsal halls are part of your family story. Thank you for sharing your love, your laughter, and your example with our students and community. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools
🎗️ Gravette is Going Gold on September 4! We’ll be joining other schools across Northwest Arkansas in recognizing Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
Students and staff are encouraged to wear gold or yellow to show support for children fighting cancer and their families. At Gravette Middle School, this is especially meaningful as one of our Lions is currently battling brain cancer.
Your support shows strength and solidarity with families facing the hardship of childhood cancer. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools
