💯 We have a HUGE number of students that were recognized today for making the A/B and A Honor Rolls. These Gravette Middle School seventh graders were acknowledged during the Lion Pride Assembly for demonstrating mastery of their subjects and focus throughout the semester.
Because education begins and ends at home, credit for the success of these students should be shared with the Gravette families who provide daily support and guidance. Our teachers offer excellent instruction, but parents establish the habits that allow learning to stick. We thank the families who take an active role in the development of their young Lions.
Great work to this group and their teachers! They have proven they understand the value of academic discipline and are building the growth mindset necessary for the paths ahead. We expect to see an even bigger crowd in this photo next semester. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools
