🔴 Gravette Upper Elementary is celebrating International Dot Day on Monday, September 15! Students are encouraged to wear dots to join in this global celebration of creativity, courage, and collaboration.

Dot Day was inspired by the book The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds, which reminds every child to “make their mark” and use a growth mindset. This year, our students will add their voices to millions around the world who connect through art and imagination.

Be on the lookout for our GIANT collaborative artwork that will showcase how every small mark adds up to something big! 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools

🏛️ Fourth grade students spent the day exploring the Peel Mansion Museum & Botanical Garden in Bentonville yesterday. Students toured the rooms of the famous 1800s home, exploring bedrooms, the parlor, the dining room, and the garden! Each space showed how families of that era lived, worked, and entertained.

The young lion leaders also explored Victorian-era technology during their visit. They tried operating a loom, practiced paper weaving, and worked on period-accurate crafts projects. Outdoors, they joined museum staff for a lively folk dance and placed a brick in the walkway with "Gravette Upper Elementary" etched into the top, now a permanent connection between our school and the history of our region.

The Peel Mansion is operated by the Peel Compton Foundation, established by the Walton family, and remains a popular venue to preserve the region’s history and share it with new generations. Thank you Bethany Pitts for sharing these photos from Mrs. Roberts’ class. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools

💍 Did you hear your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married? Turns out they’re not the only ones. Love is everywhere in Gravette, and plenty of our staff have found the best thing that’s ever been theirs.

Some stories began in high school, some online, some in a principal’s office, and some have been going strong for decades. Each one reminds us that Gravette is where connections last forever and always.

Congratulations to the happy couples who have made the workplace their home away from home. Your classrooms, gyms, offices, and rehearsal halls are part of your family story. Thank you for sharing your love, your laughter, and your example with our students and community. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools
