Nike Elementary's 3rd graders had a fun time combining creativity, storytelling, and outdoor learning!

Students wrote and shared spooky stories and camping tales around the campfire, explored the outdoors on a nature walk, and found inspiration for their nature writing. They even enjoyed making delicious s’mores trail mix for a sweet treat!

This past week, we celebrated all things Missouri at Nike Elementary! Did you know this special tradition has been going strong for OVER 26 YEARS?

It all started with an amazing teacher who wanted to share the wonders of Missouri with our students. That tradition has continued throughout the years, and for the last few years, our beloved Mrs. Gann has been working behind the scenes to plan and prepare this incredible day for our Nike Scouts!

Missouri Day is one of our favorite days of the year, and our students look forward to it every year! From hands-on activities to learning about Missouri's history, culture, and traditions, there was something for everyone to enjoy!

Our students got to experience:

🌽 Kettle Corn
🐝 Beekeeping
🐐 Goats
🕯️ Candle Making
🚒 Firetruck
🎃 Pumpkin Games
🔥 Fire Department History & Fire Prevention
🧵 Quilts
🤠 Square Dancing
🌳 Missouri Master Naturalists

Be sure to ask your Nike Scout what their favorite part of Missouri Day was! We love seeing our students learn, explore, and make lasting memories while celebrating our wonderful state.

A HUGE thank-you goes out to all of our guest presenters, volunteers, and especially Mrs. Gann for the time, effort, and heart you put into making this day so special! We couldn't continue this amazing tradition without you!

Here's to over 26 years of celebrating Missouri and many more to come!

Nike Elementary is teaming up with the PHS DECA Program to collect can tabs for the Ronald McDonald House, and our Nike Scouts need your help!

Save tabs from soda cans, soup and vegetable cans, pet food cans, and even tennis ball cans. Then, drop them off in the collection bottle located in the Nike Elementary foyer.

Every tab counts toward supporting families in need. Thank you for helping our Nike Scouts make a difference, one tab at a time! 👏

Nike Elementary students recently participated in a bus evacuation drill with the MVR-III Transportation Department! 💛

Students learned the importance of bus safety, how to respond during an emergency, and why practicing these procedures helps keep everyone safe.

A special thank-you to our bus drivers for taking the time to teach our students these valuable safety skills and for all they do to keep our students safe each day!
