Every Day Counts at Nike!
This month, our School Counselor, Ms. Raeker, has been talking with our Nike Scouts about the importance of coming to school every day!
When you’re at school, you’re learning, growing, seeing your friends, and making memories. When you’re absent, you miss out!
Let’s make every day count, Nike Scouts!
See you at school!
