Nike Elementary School

Nike second through fourth grade students and staff were very fortunate to have a Math Specialist from South Central RPDC teach math yesterday. Ms. Donna also meet with teachers during their plan time to discuss fluency and number talks. It was a very fun day! We are very lucky that staff and students could learn from Mrs. Donna, a mathematics specialist through RPDC.

Today 2nd-4th graders are practicing their volleball skills. Ask your child what they have been practicing in PE.

Thank you to Nike Elementary's secretary, Mrs. Pettus, for all that she does! You can always find her taking care of business with a big SMILE and some kind words. Happy Administrative Professional's Day! 💜

Dr. Schwierjohn visits Coleman Elementary for this edition of “Tell Me Something Good” Tuesday.

Nike Elem Ss in Mrs. Gann's & Mrs. Myers' classes have worked hard to display some very important & interesting work. They have written pieces on 2 topics, "Best Part of Me" & speaking parts for their Living Museum, both showcased at Writing on the Walls family night. #MVNation

The Nike Pie in the Face competition is going well. Coach is very excited to be in first place! He loves to win! Nurse Jenny is feeling lonely, being in last place so far. The competition ends on Friday.

Happy April, Scouts! Today, students attended our monthly school assembly and learned about our new Pillar Word: Resilience. Being brave to try something hard and getting back up if we fall a little short are important life skills to have! We also had some wonderful successes to share. A few students from each grade were recognized as Positive Office Referrals, and our very own principal can now be introduced as Dr. Tollison! Students and staff would like to congratulate her on completing her necessary courses and tests in order to receive her Doctorate in Education Degree. We are so proud of you, Dr. Tollison!! 🎉
