Students are gathering gallon Ziplock bags, brushes, and combs alongside lip balm and feminine products. They also need travel sizes of toothpaste, toothbrushes, and deodorant, as well as shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Having these everyday essentials ready in portable kits provides practical support for local families and individuals who need a hand.
Add a few travel toiletries or a box of gallon bags to your shopping list this week and bring them by the high school office before the December 10 cutoff. Thank you for stepping up to support our high school community service efforts and care for our neighbors! 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools
Inside virtual reality simulators, students safely experienced the operation of welding equipment, heavy machinery, and commercial transport vehicles to explore high-demand skilled trades. At the Don Tyson School of Innovation Industry Day, high schoolers met with technical training representatives and climbed onto industrial machinery. Students also toured the University of Central Arkansas, Arkansas Tech University, and the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith to experience campus life up close, while the Find My Future in Healthcare event let them practice medical skills through hands-on labs like heart dissections.
Thank you to GHS Career Counselor Mary Smithers for organizing these trips, capturing these moments, and connecting lions with real pathways for life after high school. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools

🥇 Kristyn Henzie earned First Place and the People's Choice Award. Her First Place entry features a portrait of Anne Wheeler from the movie The Greatest Showman. Kristyn drew the character to focus on her styled pink hair. Her People's Choice winner features a still life of a Ferrero Rocher chocolate in the wrapper. Created for a class assignment focused on drawing candy, Kristyn selected her favorite treat and focused on the reflective metallic foil.
🥈 JaiCee Jennings earned Second Place for her painting of blooming peonies rendered in dusty rose, mauve, and purple tones. JaiCee started the project over the summer to challenge herself. She selected peonies because they are her favorite flower... a subject she found far more success painting on canvas than growing in her garden, according to her.
🥉Isaac Torres earned Third Place with his pencil drawing featuring the head of an iguana. Inspired by his own pet lizard, Isaac focused his artwork on rendering animal scales. He tackled the detailed drawing by sketching the largest scales first to build the structure before filling in the smaller scales in the remaining gaps.
One Gravette High School art student is also receiving statewide recognition through the Natural State Ornament Project. Senior Reese Long created the winning drawing selected by the Art Club to represent Gravette at the Arkansas State Capitol in Little Rock starting in mid-November. Her detailed artwork features state symbols such as a white-tailed deer, a mockingbird on apple blossom branches, and the Arkansas flag set against mountain peaks.
Families can support our art students by purchasing a replica of this Gravette-original artwork during the Christmas Ornament Fundraiser. Orders will be accepted through Friday, November 13.

Public art competitions give high school students a chance to practice balancing personal expression with audience appeal. Creating artwork for a public vote requires students to consider how subject matter, color, and technical skill connect with viewers while staying true to their artistic vision. Participating in these events helps students develop practical visual communication skills and learn how their choices resonate with a broader community.
Thank you to Mollie Hendrick for organizing these opportunities and to every student who submitted artwork. There was some real outstanding visual art pieces in our school these past few weeks. We all look forward to seeing what else Gravette artists create this year! 🦁🧡 #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.
