Last week students had the option between doing an essay or a presentation to recognize National Mole Day, the celebration over the unit of measurement known as the "mole." They also had a 3rd option to do a craft project designing a mole mascot... To much shock and surprise, most kids chose the craft. 😂
⚛️ National Mole Day was started in the 1980s by chemistry teachers across the nation.
One mole is equal to 6.022x10^23 particles, in the same way saying 1 dozen =12 things. A number as large as the “mole” is helpful when working with extremely small things like atoms and molecules. 🔬
The National Mole Day celebration and related projects have been happening at Gravette High School for over 20 years. Chemistry Teacher Brittany Lovell shared that a lot of students will have their grandmas or other family members help with the project.
Chemistry students at GHS are getting ready to start using the mole to help find amounts of substances such as reactants and products in a chemical reaction during the 2nd and 3rd quarter. This project is a fun little “kick-off” event for a topic that can be a little challenging.
The Student of the Week for October 28, 2024 is Kristyn Henzie. Mrs. Kedrowski nominated Kristyn Henzie and said "Kristyn puts in her best every day! She quietly does everything I ask. She deserves to be told that she is amazing!!"
95 Gravette High School FBLA Members attended their Fall Conference at The Jones Center this week. The students were inspired by hearing from the owner of Ozark Mountain Bagel, Bill Ford.

October 21st through the 25th is School Bus Safety Week! 🚌 🛑
School safety starts at the bus stop. Share these tips with your children:
⌚ Arrive at the bus stop five minutes early.
🚏 Stand five giant steps away from the curb.
🚌 Wait until the bus stops, the door opens, and the driver says it’s okay before stepping onto the bus.
Thank you for working together to keep kids safe! Thank you to our transportation staff for their diligence and service!
