Summer meals are back again! 🍴 This option is available for ANY child between the ages of 0-18. They don't have to be enrolled in the Gravette School District to receive this opportunity.
-How does it work ❓Starting June 3rd from 11-:12:30pm, you pull around the back of Gravette Upper Elementary (as shown in the map below) and give the names of the kids you are picking up lunches for. Then one of our lunch bunch ladies will hand you said amount of sack lunches & milks. Please note that our lunch options are fixed, and we are unable to accommodate individual customization requests. We appreciate your understanding!
-What kind of lunches are they ❓ Take a look at the menu attached! Note: Breakfast is also included in the sack lunch.
-SACK LUNCHES WILL NOT BE SERVED ON FRIDAYS ‼ Friday's meal/milks will be served on Thursdays. Therefore you will get double on Thursday.

It was the PERFECT weather for this year's Buddy Day 🧡 Thank you to Coach Pittman (MVP of the day), our volunteers, Matt Kimes, and Land O'Lakes for making this day unforgettable!! 🦁
Congrats to Mrs. Freeland's 1st graders on buying their first cars! 🚗 Yesterday, Mrs. Freeland invited MR. Freeland into her classroom to teach her students about the entire process of car buying. From who can drive, the different type of vehicles there is, and how to borrow money from the bank! Students got to borrow money from the bank of Mrs. Freeland and then head on over to Mr. Freeland's dealership where they chose their car and haggled to get the price down. Once students purchased the car, they got their very own title! ☺
Last week, Mr. Garton and some theatre kids visited our entire Pre-K for a quick fairytale show! There were laughs, cheers, and a few “yucks” when the prince blew the princess a kiss! ❤️ Thank you, Mr. Garton & HS students!
