In 3rd through 5th grade, physical education transitions from open exploration into real structure, strategy, and skill development. Students move beyond basic movement to learn official rules, field positioning, and sport mechanics. Guiding our students through this foundational stage requires energetic leadership like Coach Ellis and Coach Shields. It is their very first year at Gravette Upper Elementary, and the kids already love them!
We extend our sincere appreciation to our Gravette Upper Elementary coaching staff:
🏐 Lizzy Ellis, Volleyball and Softball Assistant Coach
🏀 Hayden Shields, Boys Basketball Assistant Coach

Director of Maintenance and Transportation Richard Carver and Administrative Assistant Melissa White took time to travel to Upper for both shifts to deliver personalized mini trash cans filled with favorite treats and beverages. The note said "We'd be a mess without you!"

Our students learn more every day how to best respect their shared spaces and take responsibility for what they leave behind.

Gravette School District recently received our state assigned school grades. The district had a great academic year highlighted by each school receiving the grade of a B, with an improvement of a whole letter grade in some buildings. This marks the best school year performance for the district since the state's grade card system began in 2014. We are incredibly proud of our staff, students and our families working together to improve outcomes for Gravette students.
Thank you for supporting our students as we continue building on this achievement. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools
The Peel Mansion housed 11 family members and featured a 10-acre garden along with an apple orchard. Young lion leaders walked through the home and outdoor grounds to see how people of the past managed daily chores, agricultural work, and family routines. It was such a fun way for our students to step back in time and bring Arkansas history to life!
Seeing historic sites in person helps students connect classroom social studies lessons to real locations in their home state. Thank you to Bethany Pitts for sharing and the team at Peel Museum & Heritage Gardens for welcoming our fourth graders. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools
