๐Ÿ† On National Coaches Appreciation Day, we take time to highlight the mentors of our student-athletes, whether at the evening game or the Elementary gym. As a token of gratitude, our Gravette Upper Elementary coaches received gift certificates courtesy of Gravette Sonic. It's a well-deserved pick-me-up after wrapping up PE classes on the way over to high school practice.

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:
๐Ÿ Lizzy Ellis, Volleyball and Softball Assistant Coach
๐Ÿ€ Hayden Shields, Boys Basketball Assistant Coach

Thank you for bringing fresh energy to our upper elementary gym, teaching our students the value of teamwork, and pouring your time into our high school athletic programs. Special thanks to Gravette Sonic Store #4183 for providing gift certificates to all our coaches and standing behind Gravette athletics! ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿงก #LionPride #GravetteSchools

๐ŸŽ Gravette Upper Elementary celebrated National Custodian Appreciation Day today to thank custodial team members Ruth Hardy, Brian Conner, and Ray Gieselman for their vital work. Students and staff across the building took moments throughout the day to thank them personally for everything they do.

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!"

Before a single lesson is taught, a book is opened, or a goal is achieved, our school relies on a clean and orderly space. Mr. Brian, Miss Ruth, and Mr. Ray set the stage for every success. Our students learn more every day how to best respect their shared spaces and take responsibility for what they leave behind. For everything else, we extend our gratitude to our custodians for maintaining the healthy environment our students need to thrive. ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿงก #LionPride #GravetteSchools

๐Ÿ“Š The reports are in and Gravette had the strongest academic performance yet!

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. ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿงก #LionPride #GravetteSchools

๐Ÿก Gravette Upper Elementary fourth graders explored local history during a recent visit to Peel Museum & Heritage Gardens. Students toured the historic Arkansas property to witness daily life on an 1800s farm.

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. ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿงก #LionPride #GravetteSchools
