The discussions covered marketing strategies, customer experience, design, and leadership principles. Students heard from the Siloam Springs business owner about how leading with kindness and building authentic connections creates long-term business opportunities. Coleman also demonstrated the science of how liquid nitrogen at -321 degrees rapidly freezes ice cream in 30 seconds. After that, the business students had the delightful opportunity to sample some of the product.
Hands-on visits like this prepare our students for successful professional paths. We extend a sincere thank you to MarShae's Sweet Escape for inspiring our high school students and showing them how passion, science, and business intersect. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools

🎨 Gravette High School student Reese Long created the winning drawing selected to represent our school in the Natural State Ornament Project. Her artwork will be turned into a holiday ornament and displayed at the Arkansas State Capitol in Little Rock beginning in mid-November.
Reese's artwork captures state symbols including a white-tailed deer among pine trees, a mockingbird perched on apple blossom branches, and a leaping fish. The Arkansas flag set against mountain peaks complete the scene. It's a beautifully crafted depiction of Arkansas wildlife.
Congratulations to Reese on earning this statewide showcase for her work. Thank you to Mrs. Hendrick for organizing this effort and to all the students who submitted entries. Each one represented Gravette with excellence, and we look forward to having that part of our corner of Arkansas represented at the capitol. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools

Coaches teach lessons you will not find in a textbook. How to handle loss, carry yourself in victory, work in a team, and keep going when things do not go your way. They help students discover what it means to be part of something bigger than themselves. They teach young people that failure is not the end of the story. You can miss the shot, lose the game, or fall short, then return tomorrow and try again.
