Nike students & staff would like to THANK Mrs. Thebeau for sharing her love of books with all of us! From class time in the library to shopping at book fairs, our Scouts are gaining so much knowledge about books and through books! Happy School Librarian Appreciation Day!!!

Happy Paraprofessional Day to these 4 ladies! We APPRECIATE everything you do for our students and our school. Big THANKS to Ms. Lindsey, Ms. Natalie, Ms. Savannah, and Ms. Ericka!

The Nike Pie in the Face competition is going well. Coach is very excited to be in first place! He loves to win! Nurse Jenny is feeling lonely, being in last place so far. The competition ends on Friday.

Happy April, Scouts! Today, students attended our monthly school assembly and learned about our new Pillar Word: Resilience. Being brave to try something hard and getting back up if we fall a little short are important life skills to have! We also had some wonderful successes to share. A few students from each grade were recognized as Positive Office Referrals, and our very own principal can now be introduced as Dr. Tollison! Students and staff would like to congratulate her on completing her necessary courses and tests in order to receive her Doctorate in Education Degree. We are so proud of you, Dr. Tollison!! 🎉
