🎨 Mrs. Patterson’s art class was full of creativity today! Students rotated through centers where they worked on collages, drawing, and coloring. These hands-on activities give students the opportunity to explore different materials and techniques while expressing their unique ideas.
Art class is so important for elementary students because it sparks creativity, builds confidence, and strengthens fine motor skills. It also allows students to apply and expand on the skills they’ve been learning throughout the first two semesters—such as following directions, problem-solving, and thinking outside the box. Most importantly, art provides a safe space for self-expression and imagination to shine.
Way to go, artists! We have such talented and creative students here at Nike Elementary! 🖌️✨

We hope you are enjoying the day off. Our staff has been hard at work today during our PD/Conference Day and we are looking forward to welcoming students back tomorrow, Tuesday, February 24!
Reminder — tomorrow is a D Day, so students will have Music and PE. 🎶🏃♂️
Also, this time of year the weather can be tricky! Please be sure to check the forecast each morning and send your student with proper outerwear so they can fully enjoy time outside. Tomorrow’s forecast is in the 50s, but the morning will be much chillier. Long sleeves, coats, hats, and gloves are recommended.
Thank you for helping us keep our Scouts warm and ready to learn! 💙
The yummy drinks were such a fun treat and definitely brought some extra smiles to our day. Thank you, Little Ireland and Dr. Schwierjohn, for taking such great care of our team! 💜
