This is the week of Bus Driver Appreciation Day. Even though the snow kept us away from school, we’re especially grateful for our bus drivers who always put student safety first! Through every season, they work hard to ensure a smooth ride and a warm welcome for our students and families. Let’s take a moment to thank our bus drivers for their kindness, patience, and commitment to our kids. If you see your driver on Monday, give them a big thank you and a smile! Our drivers are the ones we see every day, but behind every safe and smooth bus route, there’s a team working hard to make it happen! A huge shoutout goes to Mr. Richard Carver, our Transportation & Facilities Director, and Mrs. Melissa White, our Transportation & Facilities Administrative Assistant, for all they do to keep our buses running and our students safe. Their hard work, planning, and care make a difference every day! Our schools need more bus drivers! If you or someone you know is interested in joining our team, check out the job posting here: https://www.gravetteschools.net/drive #BusDriverAppreciationDay #LionPride

For the second year, the Builders Club at GMS have prepared heartfelt cards for the residents at Apple Creek Nursing Home. In total they made 120, one for every resident! 💌 This special project was made possible by the proceeds from our fall dance, where Builders Club members ran the concession stand, photo booth, and worked hard to decorate. The Builders Club is a service-focused youth division of the Gravette Kiwanis organization, and they’re always looking for ways to support our community! Through dances and other events, they’ve donated to families in need, funded the snack pack program, supported the Kindergarten and Pre-K Easter egg hunts, and contributed to local charities like the NWA Children’s Shelter. They even run the annual food pantry donation project during the holiday season. Thank you to all the Builders Club members for your hard work, and to everyone who supports our students! #LionPride 🧡

Mrs. Rhea’s 6th-grade chart the course for learning by playing Battleship to practice graphing points on a coordinate plane.
