🔎 Lucy spent her day near the chicken coop at Gravette Upper Elementary, keeping watch on the feathered residents. She might have gone looking for a few eggs, but decided to wait and let them hatch.
Congratulations to Tina Harris for finding her first. It was her knowledge of our schools that led her to the answer, not just good cluck!
Lucy’s adventure continues tomorrow with a new clue and another chance to win before Homecoming. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools

🍬 Today is National Custodian Appreciation Day! Custodians are on the front lines of keeping our schools clean and safe. Their work provides the foundation for healthy learning and helps us appreciate and care for our shared spaces.
Maintenance and Transportation Director Richard Carver and Administrative Assistant Melissa White visited each school during shift changes to present daytime and evening custodians with a special gift! A Gravette-themed bag of sweet treats! The note included in the bag read:
Custodians are Mounds of help.
You always go the Extra mile and become our Lifesavers when we're in a Crunch.
Custodians like you make a Whopper of a difference.
On Payday I’m going to ask Mr. Gravette to give you 100 Grand.
Your favorite Nerds.
Our custodians were recognized across every campus. Students thanked custodians throughout the day, and at the high school they received a round of applause for their work. We are grateful for all they do to support learning and keep our schools running smoothly. Thank you Gravette Custodial Staff! The time you give to our community and the work you do for our kids is highly valued and appreciated. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools

🚀 Seventh grade science at Gravette Middle School reached new heights with their final project on the laws of motion. Students designed water-powered rockets, pressurized them with a bike pump, and launched them into the sky to test the principles of force, pressure, and acceleration.
To record the results, students used altitude trackers, standing at a set distance to measure each rocket’s maximum height. These observations gave them real data to compare rocket designs and think critically about what factors helped their rockets fly higher or stay airborne longer. Students saw Newton’s laws move from theory to reality, proving that science is best learned by doing.
This rocket launch is a popular project year after year, and it’s thanks to Mr. Leach’s effort creating classroom activities that are both fun and applicable to the real world. These activities keeps students excited about learning and shows them how science connects to everyday life. The photos capture just 8th period, but every group got the chance to launch and track their own rockets. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools

🧠 Today, middle and high school students heard from Tony Hoffman, former professional BMX rider, former Olympic competitor, and one of the nation’s leading speakers on mental health and substance abuse prevention.
Tony has shared his story with audiences across the country for more than a decade, helping young people understand the link between mental health, personal choices, and long-term success. He spent years battling anxiety, depression, and substance abuse, eventually serving time in prison. While incarcerated, he committed to rebuilding his life through discipline and small daily habits. That commitment carried him into a professional BMX career, where he competed at the highest levels and later coached at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
In Gravette, Tony spoke openly about the traps of negative belief systems, the importance of supportive friendships and trusted adults, and how discipline is like a muscle that grows stronger when you use it. He reminded students how the little things like making your bed, brushing your teeth, even picking up the ice cube that falls on the floor-are practice for the bigger challenges in life.
After his talk, students joined in a Q&A, asking about his BMX and Olympic experiences, his favorite sports, and his family. The room lit up when he shared his love for sushi, but controversy erupted when he claimed In-and-Out was superior to Whataburger. He also shared a love for dogs and more about his relationship with his father and his step-son.
Tony’s message to our students was that perspective, discipline, and support systems can change the course of a life. His visit reminded both students and staff that even after hardship, each day is a chance to choose good habits. 🧡🦁 #LionPride #GravetteSchools
