Don't miss out on today's Food Pantry! Please note, to qualify for the Gravette Bright Futures Food Pantry, the student (s) who attend our district MUST live directly in your home and you must be their sole guardian. Distribution is one per household. Unfortunately, there are not enough supplies to distribute goods to student's extended family members who live outside their homes such as aunts/uncles, grandparents, etc. The GOOD NEWS is that there is another local pantry, Outreach 58:10, that can help! Details are below. We thank you for understanding! 🧡
Did you know the Gravette School District has an Instagram? Pictures of ALL your favorite lions in one place! 🦁 Please go give us a follow so you can stay up to date with all that is happening across the district! ☺
📖 Here's another book recommendation from Mr. Walker! This book is in our Parent Center. Mr. Bennett has collected hundreds of stories in The Book of Virtues, an instructive and inspiring anthology that will help children understand and develop character -- and help adults teach them. From the Bible to American history, from Greek mythology to English poetry, from fairy tales to modern fiction, these stories are a rich mine of moral literacy, a reliable moral reference point that will help anchor our children and ourselves in our culture, our history, and our traditions -- the sources of the ideals by which we wish to live our lives. Complete with instructive introductions and notes, The Book of Virtues is a book the whole family can read and enjoy -- and learn from -- together.

Mark your calendars ‼ On December 19th at the basketball games, our 7th grade Gifted & Talented students are hosting a "Holiday Market".

Consider coming out and supporting all the hard work these students put into this event. ☺
We couldn't accomplish all that we do without YOU. Builder's Club would like to say a big THANK YOU to Stacey who did the photos for our Fall Dance last month. Her business - www.walkinginhisstepsphotography.com - provided high-quality renders and a quick turnaround so our students could enjoy the pics too. 🥰
Congratulations to our Student Spotlight of the Week, Emilio Garivay 🌟 Mr. Leach said, "Emilio has been an outstanding student from day one in science. He has the best attitude and works hard.

Not only is Emilio a great student, he also makes his classmates better around him!" 👍 Tune in next Monday to see who our next Student Spotlight will be 🌟

Student SHOUT OUT 📣 Mrs. Hull-Folker wanted to shine the light on this talented artist, Jesus Soto. Jesus THRIVES in the art room and we can tell why! When we asked what he gathers inspo from Jesus replied, "A lot of things. TikTok. Adventure Time the show. Cartoons in general. The piece with the three boys is me and my two friends, actually. I really enjoy art. " ☺ We see great things in your future, Jesus!
Well, well, well. 👀 We know who is getting coal in their stockings this year!
Mrs. Galloway's room is giving us all the Christmas feels! 🎄Her students recently explored her Christmas children's book collection. They read to each other, played games, and found new books to look up for the littles in their life. ☺

It's almost time for our annual tradition of counting down the days until Christmas Break by having dress-up spirit days! 🥳 Please take a look at the calendar below and encourage your child to join in on the fun! Note: GDE/GUE are following a different calendar than GMS/GHS.
Right before the break, Mrs. Renaud's class finished their food lab on smoothies. The main goals were to follow directions, correct measurements, and make sure sanitation rules were followed. Despite the mess, our students rocked it!
Congratulations to our Student Spotlight of the Week, Abigail Maqueda 🌟 Mrs. Hull said, "Abigail always pays great attention to her craft as an artist but specifically excels within the realm of sculpture.

Our 8th-grade science students made mouse trap race cars in Mr. Leach's class! They went to the gym and let them loose! The farthest recorded distance was 67 ft. All with some dowel rods, glue, rulers, CDs, string, and a mouse trap. Pretty impressive!
