Girls on the Run is in full swing and the energy is AMAZING! 💖🏃♀️ The girls are working hard, building confidence, and gearing up for their big 5K in May—we couldn’t be prouder! Keep shining, girls…you’ve got this! ✨🎉





Last night Nike celebrated students by hosting a Family Fun Night. Second grade students dressed up as famous Missourians and shared important facts about "themselves". All Nike students had writing or projects hanging in the halls and families could write notes to their child(ren) about their great work. Families also enjoyed a free pizza dinner.








Our 2nd graders at Nike Elementary recently had an exciting field trip to the St. Louis Science Center! They loved experiencing science in action, exploring hands-on exhibits, and discovering so many new things. It was a fun and inspiring day of learning!

Kindergarten wrapped up our weather and seasons unit with a fun-filled Weather Week! 🌦️❄️☀️🍂
Students explored each season through hands-on activities—writing in pretend snow, predicting how many drops a spring rain cloud could hold, enjoying a tasty summer beach snack, and creating beautiful fall leaf trees. What a great way to celebrate learning all year long!

Mrs. Pogue’s 1st grade class is diving into an exciting CKLA Knowledge Unit all about animal habitats! 🐾🌎
Each day, students explore a new story and discover different environments from around the world—like the freezing Arctic ❄️, the hot desert 🌵, and the lush rainforest 🌿. Along the way, they’re learning what animals eat, where they live, and how they survive in their unique habitats.
It’s been a fun and engaging adventure as these young learners travel the world—right from their classroom! 📚✨

Today, some of our students participated in DRC online training with Dr. Tollison. They were fully engaged, focused, and ready to learn throughout the session.
We are so proud of their hard work and preparation—they are definitely ready to show what they know on the MAP test!

Nike Elementary welcomed our newest Kindergarteners at Open House in March, and what a great time it was!
Students were greeted by Dr. Tollison and had the chance to explore a Kindergarten classroom, visit staff from the transportation office and tour a school bus, check out the cafeteria and library, and meet our counselor, nurse, office staff, and SACC (School-Aged Child Care) team.
We also had our Pre-K program and the Doris Hoffman Early Learning Center on-site to sign children up for Pre-K screening and to share information about the Pre-K program for next school year.
Students enjoyed a fun scavenger hunt with visual clues to help them locate important areas around the building—and they even earned a yummy prize at the end! They also stopped by the photo op station to capture some fun memories along the way.
We are so excited to welcome our new Kindergarteners to Nike Elementary next year!
If you have an incoming Kindergartener—or know someone who does and lives in the Nike Elementary attendance area—please encourage them to call the school and get registered for the upcoming school year. Registering early helps create a smoother transition for students and allows us to better prepare for a great year ahead.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call us at 636-271-1444!

Ms. Willmeno’s 4th grade class recently lit up learning with a fun Glow Day! ✨ Students used highlighters to find text evidence and answer questions. Once they highlighted their answers, the lights went off—and their work began to glow! It was an exciting, hands-on way to make reading skills shine!
Help hope bloom! Give blood and receive a $15 e-gift card to a merchant of your choice.

Student teacher Ms. O'Neal’s 2nd grade class had a hands-on math adventure today! 📏✨
Students have been learning how to measure to the nearest yard, and they put their skills to the test by using sticks to measure different spots and items around the hallways. From counting inches to figuring out how many yards they make, these young mathematicians were hard at work!
Working in pairs, students helped each other practice and problem-solve—making learning both fun and collaborative. Way to go, 2nd grade! 👏

Thank you to all voters who participated in the April 7 election and took the time to consider Prop S.
On Tuesday, the unofficial results for Prop S, the proposed no tax rate change bond issue for the Meramec Valley R-III School District, showed 56.5% voter approval, falling short of the 57.14% required for passage by 22 votes.
This outcome means we will not be moving forward at this time with plans to construct a new middle school or address the identified facility needs across our schools, including important safety and security upgrades.
The Board of Education and administration remain committed to exploring options to address the district’s facility needs. We will continue engaging with community members and staff as we determine next steps and evaluate future solutions.
We appreciate your continued support of our students, staff, and schools.

The Nike Elementary staff were visited by the Woot Woot Cart this week and enjoyed a warm treat of popcorn and a drink! 🍿
Everyone appreciated the thoughtful surprise and enjoyed taking a few moments to relax and enjoy the treat. Little gestures like this help brighten the day and remind our staff how much they are appreciated for all they do for our Nike Scouts!

First Grade Fun at Nike Elementary!
Our first graders had an exciting visit from the PHS Health Occupation Program /Four Rivers Career Center students! They taught our students all about good hygiene habits. The kids were fully engaged, asked great questions, and had a blast learning from our special guests!
