Post 2of 2: Nike Elementary has been celebrating Missouri Day for over 20 years. This is a special day recognized in October to learn about our state's history. Students and staff did just that by participating in hands-on activities that pertain specifically to the Show-Me State! On Friday, October 10th, Nike Scouts got to rotate through several different displays and presentations that were set up throughout their school. Stations included: Beekeeping, Candle Making, quilt making, and Square Dancing. Students also learned about fire safety from the Pacific Fire Department and heard a presentation on native animals from a representative of Robertsville State Park. Students also constructed the Gateway Arch out of aluminum foil and learned how to write using ink make with walnuts. Of course, the day couldn't have ended without some kettle corn and a variety of apples for a snack! #mnvation

Last week, your Nike Scout attended our monthly Character Assembly. Students were introduced to another Core Value: Collaboration! Dr. Tollison and her 4th Grade Leaders used a skit to display some good examples of working well with others. At the end of our assembly, many students from each grade level were awarded with Positive Office Referrals. We are so proud of them for being great role models and Nike Scout Leaders! 💜

Today's tuna/chicken cans really made us pull out our skip-counting skills. We've been counting by 5s for our tally poster. There were almost 300 cans collected today. Tomorrow is our final day to collect canned pasta, chili, ravioli, or spaghetti o's. What can will enjoy an extra recess?
