🎨 "Parents Night Out" last week had Gravette Upper Elementary buzzing with activity after hours! The event gave parents a free evening while students from Pre-K through 5th grade enjoyed a night of creativity and play with their peers.

The evening began on the playground before splitting into specialized activities. Some students joined Mrs. Knuckles for a "Painting With a Twist" session to create their own masterpieces, while others filled the gym for active games. The night wound down in the cafeteria with a pizza dinner and a screening of The Polar Express, complete with movie theater popcorn.

🚓 Local Community Police Departments, including Gravette, Highfill, and Bella Vista, came together today to share the Christmas cheer with a group of wonderful Gravette kids for the 10th Annual "Shop With a Cop."

The morning began in the Gravette Upper Elementary cafeteria, where Resource Officer Crane surprised everyone in a festive light-up holiday suit that immediately had the children laughing. After officers drew names to find their partners, the pairs boarded a bus for a police-escorted caravan to the store. The kids explored the aisles with their officers, choosing gifts that fit their interests, from cameras and electronics to new toys and favorite accessories.

Following the shopping trip, the group traveled to the Civic Center where officers served a lunch of pizza, juice, and cookies. This meal was generously donated by the Phillips 66 Gravette Station, a strong supporter of Gravette Schools.

The kids showed thoughtful, steady character throughout the day. Even with the excitement of the season, they approached each moment with gratitude, asking politely for a single cookie when more were offered. We are proud of the character these young Lions displayed and thankful for the community fundraisers and private donors who make this program possible. Thank you most of all to the officers who protect our community each day and still set aside time to share holiday cheer with kids and families. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools

✍️ Take a look at the precision and focus of Gravette Upper Elementary's top ten handwriters. These students have mastered the art of penmanship, with exceptional work that stand out for its clarity and detail.
