Tip of the day ❗ Have you checked your child's lunch balance recently? 🍽 You may be thinking, "I don't need to do that! I make my child breakfast and they bring their lunch." Think again! It seems that our Gravette Lions are actually "hobbits" thinking they need 2nd breakfast & lunch 😆 Please make sure you check the balance and if you notice that your child has been eating at home AND getting doubles at school, you can contact our Food Service Director, Sheila, at sheila.roughton@gravetteschools.net. She can flag your child's account so that when they go through the line our food service ladies know that your child eats at home/brings their lunch and will not serve them double. Thank you for checking and working alongside us on this, parents 🧡

Red Ribbon week is off to a great start! Yesterday, our students were excited to sign the wall and pledge to be drug free and make healthy choices. Way to be lion leaders, GUE!
Our students at GUE are excited about the partnership that Gravette FFA is developing with our school. Gravette FFA is working to provide our school with resources for our 3rd through 5th grade students to teach them about Agriculture Science, responsibility, leadership, sustainability, practical life skills, and so much more. Some of our students were able to interact with a rabbit in one of our classrooms today. They learned about the responsibility of caring for rabbits and the important role that they play in our ecosystem. The Gravette High School Ag Science Program is currently working on designing and constructing a raised garden system and chicken coop for our students to participate in an Agricultural Leadership Club and for all of our classrooms to use in partnership with the Gravette FFA Chapter! #ComeGrowWithUs
Congratulations to last week's GUE Student of the Week! 5th-grader, Eli, is our winner. Eli was nominated because he has been working incredibly hard in math this year! Eli's teacher said, "He shows grit, determination, and perseverance. In small group, he is often the first to raise his hand and ask/answer a question. He is not afraid of work that challenges him and it shows in his assessments - which have gone up and up! He increased his percentile rank by 29% and his growth was in the 96th percentile!! Wow! Way to go!" 👏👏 #ComeGrowWithUs
Don't forget this week (October 24-28) starts our Red Ribbon Week and at GUE we have some awesome dress-up days for our lions to participate in. See you all tomorrow for 'Zoom Day' - business wear on top and pjs on the bottom. 😋
