Just a reminder! HAT DAY is this FRIDAY thanks to GMS PTO π₯³ If your child would like to wear a hat to school on Friday, have them bring $1 to the GMS PTO ladies that will be set up in the cafeteria that morning. Your child will receive a stamp on their hand and be set! If your child is in athletics in the morning, they can go to the cafeteria before 2nd hour and still pay to wear a hat π


It was the perfect day for our 7th-grade basketball and volleyball girls to get outside and get their sweat on πͺ

It is Mock Interview Time β Gravette Middle Schools Career Development classes are in need of YOUR HELP! We have been learning about good decisions, ethics, professional dress, and setting goals. We are getting ready to start talking about interviews. Instead of having the students just interview each other, we are hoping to find people in the community. If you are interested, please click the link below.
These will be happening on March 2, 2023 at Gravette Middle School. We understand that sometimes, you canβt take off from work or get free for a few hours. If you cannot make it, we completely understand. If you can only make it for an hour, it would still be helpful! If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at: cary.stamps@gravetteschools.net or natalie.renaud@gravetteschools.net.
