🤝 Gravette High School Future Business Leaders of America members recently met with local business owners and entrepreneurs during an Elevate NWA Networking event at Vagabond Coffee in Bella Vista. Students shared their personal organization journeys, their experiences throughout high school, and their future career goals.

Gravette High School business education teacher and FBLA Coordinator Shannon Moots discussed opportunities for local leaders to support and engage with the area chapter. These direct conversations allowed students to practice professional communication skills while exploring their own future opportunities. Community partnerships like these give high schoolers valuable networking experience and build strong relationships across Northwest Arkansas.

🍦 Thirty Gravette High School business students and Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) members participated in an interactive presentation led by Cassie Coleman, co-founder of MarShae's Sweet Escape. Students explored practical entrepreneurship concepts and witnessed a live liquid nitrogen physics demonstration.

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

🏆 Today is National Coaches Appreciation Day, when schools across the country recognize the athletic leaders who guide student-athletes. Every Gravette High School coach received gift certificates, courtesy of Gravette's Sonic Drive-In, in appreciation of their work with the young people of our community.

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.

That is why we want to thank the coaching staff here at Gravette High School:
🥎 Samantha Luther, Softball Head Coach and Assistant Athletics Director
📣 Brooklyn Lykins, High School Cheer Head Coach
🏐 Addison Duke, Volleyball Head Coach
🏀 Will Pittman, Girls Basketball Head Coach
🏋️‍♂️ Matt Rhodes, Strength Coach
🏫 Coach Vire, District Athletics Director
🏈 Coach Stelting, Assistant Football Coach
🏀 Matt Busch, Boys Basketball Head Coach
🏈 Bryce Moorman, Football and Baseball Assistant Coach
🤼‍♂️ Jeff Stapleton, Wrestling Head Coach

We also express our appreciation to our high school coaching staff who are not pictured:
🏈 Kelby Bohannon, Football Head Coach
⚾ Bryan Bearden, Baseball Head Coach and Assistant Principal
⚾ Kyle McKeown, Baseball Assistant Coach
📣 Lisa Thrailkill, Assistant Cheer Coach
📣 Haley Hauser, Assistant High School Cheer Coach
🤼‍♂️ Greg Miller, Wrestling Assistant Coach
⚽ Eddy Griffith, Boys Soccer Assistant Coach
🏫 Hunter Wright, Athletic Trainer
🏫 Cassandra McFarland, Athletic Trainer

Thank you to these Athletics leaders for running early morning practices, managing team logistics, and standing by our student-athletes through every setback and success. Special thanks to Gravette Sonic Store #4183 for providing free item gift certificates to every coach and being a valued partner with Gravette Schools. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools
