Mr. Leach's science classes ended the year by making homemade bottle rockets! It was anti-climatic and quite a few of them were duds, BUT, if they didn't try they wouldn't have known. Mr. Leach is already thinking of a thousand different ways to improve this experiment so that next year's go-around is spectacular! 💥

Community resource ❗ Don't miss out on TOMORROW's food pantry. UPDATED HOURS: 12pm-2pm and 3:30pm to 5pm at the Western Benton County Career Center. This is for any family that has students attending Gravette Schools. 🦁
As we come to the end of the school year, we have several students across the district that have outstanding lunch balances. Parents, please check your child's lunch balance here: https://www.ezschoolpay.com/Login.aspx
At each campus, we have a Care account where community members can donate money that will be applied to these unpaid lunch balances. It helps to reduce the debt to the student and family. There are several ways you can contribute if you feel led: cash & checks (make checks out to 'Gravette School Food Service" - drop all donations off at the school’s front office and mention it's for the care account) or get in touch with Food Service Director, Sheila, at 479-787-4100 ext. 1101.
ALL library books must be returned by Friday, May 19th. No books may be checked out. Thanks for understanding!

Yesterday, Mr. Stamps' classes had a special guest come and join them! John Hart, a computer specialist from the Arkansas Co-op, gave our students the task of figuring out a circuit disk board. The students had to get certain lights to come on in a specific order and write down the exact steps. 7th grader, Ayla, said, "As frustrating as it was not having exact instructions to get all the lights to come on, it was fun thinking outside the box and racing against everyone else in the class!"
It was a hot one yesterday! The cross country team had their annual timed run and kicked off the 2023-2024 season. After the run, the athletes got to eat some watermelon and relax. That was some great running, lions! 👟
