👟 Second graders took a walk through town last week to explore the community and enjoy a bright spring day. These Lion leaders deserved a nice break after their end-of-year testing preparation.

The second graders walked to Gravette Upper Elementary, the Gravette Museum, and Arvest. They got to see how these familiar locations operate and meet the people who work there. Their route also included stops at Airplane Park, Henzie Art Studio, and the Gravette Public Library.

Thank you Jennifer Davis for capturing these memories and sharing the story of their adventure. Experiences like this build strong connections. 🦁🧡

🚗 First grade students in Mrs. Freeland’s class at Glenn A. Duffy Elementary learned what it takes to buy a car with a special visit from Adventure Subaru. Our young Lions learned about the different types of vehicles available, how insurance works, the basics of financing, and the importance of a title of ownership.

This experience introduced first graders to practical life skills by turning a necessary adult process into a fun activity. After the lesson, each child chose a vehicle and signed an official title of sale to complete their purchase. They got to bring home their own toy car with the paperwork to match!

These early lessons in planning and real-world processes help explain the world we live in while connecting classroom learning to our community partners. Thank you Mr. Freeland from Adventure Subaru for visiting our school and congratulations to these young buyers for their first ever vehicle purchase! 🦁🧡

🍎 Congratulations to Bambi Hall for being named named the Glenn A. Duffy Elementary Teacher of the Year! She first walked these hallways as a student and now leads her own first grade classroom in the very same building.

In her classroom, Hall focuses on character building and helping students manage emotions. She guides her first graders through daily routines and helps them see that mistakes are a natural part of the learning process. By creating a space where children feel supported, she builds the same sense of belonging she experienced as a student in Mrs. Angie Denver’s class.

We are proud to see a former student return to invest in our schools and provide the same support that once helped her grow. We look forward to many more years of her leadership at Glenn A. Duffy Elementary. 🦁🧡
