Nike Elementary School

Nike Elementary students and staff had a wonderful time at the Spring Book Fair! We hosted two special “Breakfast and Books” days, where students could enjoy a quick grab-and-go breakfast with their favorite adult before shopping. It was a fun-filled event, and everyone left with exciting new books to read! 📚✨

What did your family do over Spring Break? Did you travel somewhere fun, spend time outdoors, or just enjoy some relaxing days together?

Please send us your photos to nswaller@mvr3.k12.mo.us. We would love to display your family pictures in our school foyer!

Students absolutely love seeing their photos on display and sharing their memories with friends. We can’t wait to see all the fun moments from your Spring Break!

Ms. McPherson’s 3rd grade class is learning all about facts and opinions! ✏️ Students compared the positives and negatives of being a sailor and practiced writing paragraphs to share their thoughts. With the sunny weather, we took our learning outside to enjoy some fresh air while working on this activity. ☀️📚

Don't forget tonight is Dine to Donate at Culver's in Eureka from 5-8. We hope to see you there!

Mrs. Pogue’s first-grade class wrapped up our History of the Earth unit! Over the past few weeks, they explored the layers of the Earth, volcanoes, geysers, different kinds of rocks, fossils, and dinosaurs. Our Pre-K friends joined them as prehistoric explorers, and together, everyone dug into the amazing world of dinosaurs, fossils, and volcanoes. It was an exciting adventure, and all of our young scientists had a fantastic time!

🍪 National Oreo Day Fun at Nike! 🍪

This time of year, the weather seems to have a mind of its own! March is definitely a toss-up when it comes to whether Nike Elementary students will get to go outside for recess. Our students enjoy those outdoor recess days so much! We are looking forward to more nice weather, getting outside, and enjoying some fresh air together. 🌤️🌳

Students and staff at Nike Elementary gather at the beginning of each month for a special assembly to celebrate the hard work and achievements of our students. During this time, we recognize students for their efforts in the classroom as well as special awards such as best cafeteria manners and best hallway manners.

The assembly is led by Dr. Tollison along with our student leaders, who help guide the program and share important messages with their peers. They also introduce and discuss our Word of the Month. For March, the word is collaboration. Collaboration means working together with others, sharing ideas, and helping one another to reach a common goal. It reminds us that when we support each other and work as a team, we can accomplish great things.

We are so proud of our Nike Scouts and all the hard work they put in each day. Way to go, Scouts! 👏🎉

Mrs. Gann’s second grade class kicked off the week of Read Across America by starting their mornings with a special read-aloud. Student teacher Ms. O’Neal led the class in reading a book together each morning, creating a fun and engaging start to the day. The students truly enjoyed the story, and the conversations and discussions that followed made the experience even more meaningful. What a great way to celebrate reading and build a love of books! 📚✨
