What Did you Do Over Christmas Break?
We would love to hear from you! 📸 Please send us any fun photos of the family activities you enjoyed over the holiday break to nswaller@mvr3.k12.mo.us. Whether you went sledding, ice skating, to the movies, baked cookies, or enjoyed a cozy family dinner or movie night—we want to see it all!
We’ll be sharing these photos in the Nike Elementary foyer on the Scout Shout Out Wall, where students love spotting themselves and telling their friends all about the fun they’re having with their families. It’s always a highlight!
We can’t wait to see all the smiles, memories, and holiday fun you send our way! ❄️🎄🍿

It’s so great to welcome students back to school after the holiday break and see all the smiling faces at Nike Elementary! Today, students enjoyed breakfast for lunch, and they absolutely loved it!
Scouts did a great job practicing the fire drill this morning.

Today, Nike Scouts returned to class and got back into school routines. At the end of the day, students attended the Monthly School-Wide Character Assembly and reviewed Nike's four Core Values! Dr. Tollison and her student leaders explained how we can show RESPECT, how we can COLLABORATE with others, how we can THINK CRITICALLY, and how we can PERSEVERE in difficult situations. Several students were recognized for being positive role models in our school and for working towards their goals. Thank you, Scouts, and.. Way To Go!!! 💜

Today Scouts filled out a feather if they earned a 100% on their iReady reading lesson. We are excited to see how many feather the entire school earns by the end of November. Hopefully our turkey has a LOT of feathers! Ask your child if they earned a feather today.









Nike teachers are very fortunate to have supportive Nike families. Thank you to all families who donated drinks and dessert for Parent Teacher conferences tonight. Staff will happily enjoy these yummy treats!

Every morning each classroom starts their day with a Morning Meeting. This is a great way for each student to share their thoughts and ideas about a topic. Ask your child what fun questions they answer during Morning Meeting! Today's fun question asked what three things would you make sure to pack on a camping trip.

Kindergarteners enjoyed hands on activities and technology to review skills during literacy center time.
