Last week, your Nike Scout attended our monthly Character Assembly. Students were introduced to another Core Value: Collaboration! Dr. Tollison and her 4th Grade Leaders used a skit to display some good examples of working well with others. At the end of our assembly, many students from each grade level were awarded with Positive Office Referrals. We are so proud of them for being great role models and Nike Scout Leaders! 💜

Today's tuna/chicken cans really made us pull out our skip-counting skills. We've been counting by 5s for our tally poster. There were almost 300 cans collected today. Tomorrow is our final day to collect canned pasta, chili, ravioli, or spaghetti o's. What can will enjoy an extra recess?

Congratulations to our September reader leaders. These students had the top minutes in their class for reading using Beanstack. We will be updating the signs each month. Can't wait to see who we feature for October! Haven't signed up yet? It's a free app! Directions on how to log in is posted on Rooms!

Yesterday was the halfway point of the Little Pantry Food Drive. Things in 2nd grade are getting "nuts" with so many peanut butter jars donated today. Mrs. Calvird and Mrs. Gann are neck and neck in this competition. There are other classes right there in the running too. Today is canned meats (tuna or chicken).

Day 2 of the Food Drive was soup-er awesome. We had over 150 cans of soup donated. Nike Scouts are very generous to those in need who use our Little Food Pantry. Tomorrow is peanut butter and the class competition is close. Who will bring in the most items to get extra recess with 3rd grade?

Nike 3rd graders are learning about how to be a good citizen in social studies. Part of being a good citizen is collecting food for those in need which is the reason behind our Little Pantry Food Drive. The class who brings the most items will earn a extra recess with 3rd grade. Tomorrow is canned soup. Here are some pictures from today.

It was a beautiful day on the playground for first-grade recess.

📚 September Reading Goal Achieved! 🍬 Today, students who met their September reading goal of logging at least 100 minutes on Beanstack were rewarded with a fun treat — a scoop of the candy salad made by staff earlier this month! 🎉 We’re so proud of our readers and can’t wait to see how many students crush the October reading challenge. Keep it up, Scouts — let’s turn the pages and reach those goals! 💪📖 #NikeScouts #ReadersAreLeaders #BeanstackChallenge

Thank you to Deputy Schaefer with the Franklin County Sheriff's Department for coming to Nike to talk with the entire school during the October assembly about the importance of safety drills. Nike completed an intruder drill with two thumbs up.

Nike Elementary was recently highlighted in the Character.org National School of Character Spotlight:
Receiving the National School of Character designation for the first time, this school proudly upholds collaboration, critical thinking, respect, and perseverance. This photo shares a moment during School Family time where the touchstone is practiced and lived out. Students of all grade levels meet in one classroom and participate in "getting to know you" activities. Throughout the year, students see each other and make connections with others, not just their classmates. Congratulations Nike Elementary!

PHS Cheer is hosting both a Mother Son Dance (Saturday, Oct. 11) and a Princess Ball (Saturday, Oct. 25)! The events will be 6-8 PM at Pacific High School, and students from preschool to 4th grade are invited. Use the QR code to register now! #MVNation

For September, library classes are discussing the impact digital lives can have on their well-being and relationships and how to balance media in their everyday lives.

Even though the field trip was postponed today, the kindergarten classes celebrated learning all about apples.

Third grade is reading about vertebrates and invertebrates. Ask your third grader what the difference is between the two.
