Yesterday, Mrs. Sanders and Ms. Emily's Pre-K class had a special ELF reader 😋 Thank you, Mrs. Williams, for bringing a little Christmas elf magic to our Pre-K students 💚
Christmas Break here we come!! ❄ We will see you all back on Thursday, January 4th, 2024 🎆
Last day before Christmas Break - "Christmas from your head to your toes" 🎄 Also, check out our very own, Ms. Betz, reading the half-time story at our basketball game last night! She read "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" 🍪 If you can tell, there were more high schoolers listening than elementary students, but that doesn't make a difference! 😆 Big kids can enjoy story-time, too!
Mrs. Jones had a special reader today 🥰 One of her previous students, Paxton! Mrs.Jones was Paxton's 1st grade teacher and now he is getting to make special memories with this years 1st grade class! A full circle moment 🧡
"Wear an Ugly Sweater Day" 👚 These wonderful ladies are two peas in a pod....actually, more like two peas in an ugly sweater! 🤣 TWO MORE DAYS UNTIL BREAK!

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 😋
Our Pre-K students in Ms. Hunter's class have been learning about Christmas around the world 🌏
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!!
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.

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. 🧡
