A HUGE THANK YOU to Nike PTO for organizing and providing a meal for teachers tonight for Parent Teacher conferences. We are very lucky to have supportive families! #mvnation

In September, Mrs. Guenzler and Mrs. McPherson’s third-grade classes teamed up to learn about 9/11, honor the heroes, and remember how that day changed our country.

Happy Veterans Day! A heartfelt THANK YOU to all of our veterans and the families who joined us today for our Veterans Day assembly at Nike Elementary! We began our morning with refreshments before taking time to learn about the meaning and importance of Veterans Day. Our program included an explanation of the holiday, a special slideshow honoring those who have served, and a wonderful singing performance by our 3rd and 4th grade Scouts. We are so grateful for the men and women who have served and sacrificed for our freedom. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to recognize and honor you. We appreciate you more than words can say!

Mrs. Gann's 2nd graders earned some well-deserved fun by completing 100 i-Ready Math lessons with 100% accuracy! They track their progress on the classroom data board, adding their initials each time they reach their goal. Once all the boxes are filled, it’s time for board games!

Way to go, Scouts! We are proud of your hard work!

Our first graders took part in the Fable Olympics! Check out these photos of our Nike Scouts learning, participating, and having fun! Way to go, first grade!

Congratulations to six Nike Elementary students who completed the Summer Reading Challenge through the Pacific Regional Library! 📚

As a reward for their hard work and commitment to reading, these students enjoyed a special shopping spree at the school's Fall Book Fair.

Way to go, readers! Keep turning those pages! 👏

Our 2nd grade students got a firsthand look at how local government works during a special field trip to explore the City of Pacific! 🌟

Students toured local government facilities and learned about the important roles of the Mayor, City Administrator, City Clerk, and other municipal staff who help keep our community running smoothly. They also had the opportunity to visit Pacific's historic Red Cedar Inn and learn more about our community's local history.

Thank you to our city leaders and staff for welcoming our students, sharing their knowledge, and helping inspire the next generation of active citizens!

Thankful Thursdays in Mrs. Guenzler’s 3rd Grade Class! Every morning starts with a morning meeting, but Thursdays are extra special! During Thankful Thursdays, students take turns sharing what they are thankful for. From parents and family to their school, teacher, and homes, it’s heartwarming to hear the things they appreciate in their lives. What a wonderful way to start the day by practicing gratitude and reminding ourselves of the many things we have to be thankful for! #NikeElementary #NikeScouts #ThankfulThursday

Science in action! Our second graders in Mrs. Gaedke’s class recently explored flexibility and absorbency through a hands-on experiment! Our Nike Scouts are learning, experimenting, and discovering how things work through science! Way to go, second graders! #NikeElementary #NikeScouts #ScienceIsFun

Today our Nike Scouts gathered for our monthly assembly! We celebrated classrooms and students for their hard work in attendance, classroom cleanliness, assembly behavior, hallway manners, cafeteria expectations, and bathroom manners. Our student helpers also put on a fun skit to introduce November’s core value word: Critical Thinking! After each skit, Scouts gave a thumbs up or down to decide whether the situation showed good critical thinking. We are so proud of our Scouts and all their hard work! Keep up the great job, Nike Scouts!

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!
