Nike Elementary School

Wow! When we make a request of our Nike families and staff, you truly show up! 💙

Thank you so much for sharing photos of your families enjoying the snow days and winter break. We have absolutely loved posting them in the Nike foyer so our students can enjoy seeing these special moments and share stories with their friends. What a wonderful way to celebrate our Nike community! ❄️📸

💜✨ This week, February 2–6, we celebrate National School Counseling Week!

This week focuses on the unique contributions of school counselors in helping students thrive by offering support for academic and social-emotional growth. We are so grateful for our amazing school counselor, Ms. Raeker, at Nike Elementary. She is a vital part of our team, works tirelessly to support our students and families, and our students absolutely love her!

Nike Elementary students go outside daily for recess and movement. Please check the forecast and send your child with a coat, hat, and gloves so they stay warm and comfortable.

Just a reminder: Below are the cold weather guidelines we follow to determine when it is safe for students to go outside (St. Louis Children’s Hospital):

*10°F or below: Indoors
*10–20°F: 5 minutes outside
*20–32°F: 10–15 minutes outside
*32–90°F: Normal outdoor recess

Thank you for helping keep our students safe, warm, and active! ❄️

On Wednesday, we celebrated reaching our second Beanstack goal—75,000 minutes logged so far this year!

To mark the occasion, students tapped into their creativity by building their ideal reading and relaxation spaces out of LEGO bricks. The designs were imaginative, thoughtful, and full of great ideas—we loved seeing them all!

We have one more goal to reach this year: 160,000 minutes by May 11th.

Let’s keep reading and logging those minutes. Let’s go, Nike Scouts!

Mrs. Pogue’s 1st grade class at Nike Elementary kicks off each day with a cheerful morning meeting filled with smiles, friendly hellos, and warm greetings. It’s a fun way to build connections, start the day together, and get ready to learn!

Fourth grade is excited to write a story. Some students are brainstorming while others are writing their first draft. Some are typing their final draft today. Ask your 4th grader about their cowboy/girl story!

Mrs. Chasen’s 1st grade class is diving into early American civilizations and loving it! They’re currently learning about the Maya civilization and showing their understanding with thumbs up and thumbs down!

Learning vowels + playing Boggle = spelling fun! Mrs. Calvird’s 2nd grade class is mastering short and long vowel sounds one word at a time!

Second grade is working on a mixed media castle. They printed using paint and a piece of cardboard. They then colored the geometric shapes with oil pastel.

Good job Nike Artists!

Thank you Catawissa Union Church for you donation of hats, gloves, scarves, and undergarments for Nike and Robertsville families.
