Blanket Fundraiser – Round Two! ✌🏻

Our last blanket fundraiser was such a success that we’re doing another round—with a brand new blanket style! 🎉

Blankets are $30 each, and the best part is—we already have them on hand, so there’s no waiting for shipping. These will be Venmo or CASH ONLY. 💸

If you’d like to purchase one, please email April.jones@gravetteschools.net to reserve yours.
Once they’re gone, they’re gone—so grab yours while supplies last! (We only have a few left!)

👷🏻‍♀️CALLING ALL DADS AND MOMS ON DUTY!! 👷

🔨We need community help for our Outdoor Classroom project! We are organizing a "Dads and Moms on Duty" Saturday work day to build a foundation for future science, art, and math lessons in the fresh air. While we have not set the final date, we are compiling a roster of volunteers to get an idea of the best schedule.

🌱We're planning to erect a metal shade structure, which involves pouring concrete anchors, and to build six wooden planter boxes. Anyone with experience in metal and wood construction who is willing to donate their labor would be greatly appreciated!

🧡🦁Transforming this open area into a functional educational garden will provide our young Lions with new ways to explore nature and STEAM subjects. We are grateful for the community members ready to lend their professional tools and time to build something lasting for our school.
