Gravette Middle School

WEATHER UPDATE: This morning we implemented our tornado safety protocol in each building. We sincerely appreciate all staff and students who made this go as smoothly as possible. Everyone was safe and our campus was unharmed. Unfortunately, like many in our area, Gravette High School is without electricity. We hope to have an update soon on restoration efforts. A big thanks to all of our utility workers and first responders as they work through the rain to resolve these issues. We plan to have regular pickup times and bus routes this afternoon. Please contact your child's school if you have to change transportation arrangements for today.

🔬 Gravette Middle School students are getting real lab experience in Mr. Leach's classroom! Over the course of seven days, students completed a lab experiment to see how genetic traits are passed through generations. They observed fruit flies with red eyes becoming the dominant population over white-eyed flies—since the red-eyed flies could spot mates more easily and reproduce more successfully. A small group of volunteers took it a step further with an additional seven-day lab, where they witnessed the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria! By growing bacterial populations in environments with and without antibiotics, students observed how quickly resistant strains can take over under constant pressure. Our middle school scientists are learning the importance of effective observation, safety precautions, and how even the smallest changes can shape the future of living organisms. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools
