This type of lesson helps young learners practice early math and science skills by sorting, counting, and comparing the fruit. Preparing food together builds cooperation and patience, and tasting their own creation gives students a sense of pride in their work!
For Pre-K children, experiences like Apple Week connect learning to real life, making school feel fun, engaging, and memorable. Thank you to Mrs. Hunter for sharing these photos and for planting the seeds of curiosity with our littlest lions. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools
Don’t get left in the cold! Label those clothes! A simple name on the tag or inside the garment helps us get belongings back to the right child quickly. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools

The assembly opened with Gravette Middle School cheerleaders forming a pom-pom tunnel to welcome students, followed by a special visit from the Golden Lion.... none other than Superintendent Jeff Gravette! Cheerleaders performed, students sang their new leadership song, and Mr. Gravette shared a story about learning to step up and help out as a young lion cub.
The assembly wrapped up with the “loudest grade level” competition, and Kindergarten roared the loudest to take home the trophy. Overall, student's learned that leadership is about action, teamwork, and pride in our schools. 🧡#LionPride #GravetteSchools
