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! 👏

Nike Elementary Kindergarteners had so much fun celebrating Apple Day! Students used their senses to observe and taste different varieties of apples, compared their similarities and differences, and voted on our class favorite. We also taste-tested apple juice and apple cider, decorated apples for our class apple tree, and explored the parts of an apple and its life cycle. It was a fun day of hands-on discovery!

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

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!

It was wonderful seeing so many smiling faces and watching our students enjoy this special time with the important people in their lives.
