Girls Reaching All Concepts of Excellence (GRACE) is now accepting applications for NEW and RETURNING mentors. GRACE is a mentoring and youth development program offered to girls from grades 9-12 at Blytheville High School. Our mission is to empower young ladies to become the best versions of themselves by equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary for success. For those who are unfamiliar with the mentoring process, a mentorship is a time during which a mentor assists and guides a mentee towards the achievement of her goals.
Throughout the school year, our mentees and mentors will meet in small groups twice per week for 30 minutes during lunch, and large group meetings will be held for 45 minutes once per month on Connections days. Participants of the program will also engage in enrichment activities outside of regular meeting times.
If you are interested in becoming a mentor, the deadline to apply is Friday, August 24th. You may access the online application at www.gracementorship.org/mentorship-application. Orientation will be held Tuesday, September 4th at 6 PM in the BHS Library.

Because Memorial Day is kicking off our last week of school and official start of summer, let's talk Summer Slide! It is important to ensure your child does not lose all of the valuable knowledge he/she has acquired during the school year. According to recent data, over the summer students lose approximately 2.6 months of math skills. This loss is often called “The Summer Slide” and there are many ways to prevent it! In addition to reading with your child every day throughout the summer, look for opportunities to incorporate learning into everyday activities. Math and reading skills are important parts of cooking. Also, physical activities such as sports give students the opportunity to build teamwork skills. Be sure to check with our local library for fun and engaging learning activities throughout the entire summer.
“Dont wait for someone else to motivate you. You’re the omly person you’re going to see every day of your life.” Jeff Echols motivating our 8th grade graduates this morning!
Early registration is still happening at BES! Today and tomorrow, 8:30 am - 2:30 pm. Come up and we'll get you all set for next year!

The hospital has once again volunteered to provide any students who are considering playing in a school sport a physical, which is required to participate in any sport. This clinic will be held on Thursday, May 17, 2018 at BHS. ALL STUDENTS who plan on participating in any athletic program 7th-12th grade will need to pick up a form from their coach or office. These forms must be filled out completely and returned no later than May 16, 2018 to their coach or to the office. A student cannot receive a physical without this form signed under any circumstance. Permission by phone will not be allowed! A new physical is required every year, so we highly recommend getting this free physical provided by our very own hospital! Thank you to GRMC!
