School Starts This Week!

With school starting back this week, we want everyone to be aware, prepared, and patient as we all adjust to the increased traffic and busy school zones.

Please take a moment to review the Police Department’s guide for the first week or two of school. A little extra patience and awareness can go a long way toward keeping our students, families, school staff, and community safe.

🚸 Slow down, stay alert, and give yourself a little extra time. Let’s have a safe and successful start to the school year

Today was a wonderful reminder of what makes our community so special.

From the Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast and 5K Run to the Farmers Market, Gravette Historical Museum’s Outdoor Cooking, Car Show, Parade, and Pageant, there was something for everyone to enjoy.

More than anything, Gravette Day is about community — neighbors coming together, families making memories, local organizations giving their time, and volunteers working hard to make the day possible.

Thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, organized, sponsored, attended, or simply came out to support Gravette Day. Your energy, pride, and commitment to our community are what make events like this so special.

Happy Gravette Day!!!

This afternoon, I attended the Intergovernmental Cooperation Council meeting and joined fellow Mayors, JP’s and our County Judge to discuss issues, opportunities, and ways we can work together for the benefit of our communities.

Representing Gravette means advocating for our residents, bringing their priorities to the table, and working with neighboring communities to find solutions that strengthen our city. I’m proud to represent Gravette and remain committed to building a strong future for our community.
