Today, Nike Elementary students and staff wrapped up the day with our monthly assembly. Each month, the MVR-III School District & Nike Elementary highlight a core value, and February’s core value is respect.

During the assembly, students learned that respect means treating others the way you want to be treated—being kind, inclusive, and considerate of everyone, even when they may be different from you. To help bring this message to life, our student assembly speakers performed a skit.

Every assembly, students apply to be assembly speakers, and they do an amazing job presenting awards and acting out skits. Today’s skit focused on a new student starting at Nike and how they were treated by their peers. In the first scene, the new student couldn’t find anyone to play with at recess. Students gave this a big thumbs down, recognizing that this behavior did not show good character or respect. In the second scene, students invited the new student to play, which earned a thumbs up from the audience for showing kindness, inclusion, and respect.

Our student assembly speakers also handed out awards for positive office referrals from staff to students, as well as recognition for assembly manners, bathroom manners, cafeteria manners, cleanest classroom, and hallway manners.

Way to go, Nike students! We are so proud of you for all your hard work and for continuing to show respect each and every day 💙👏

Today, our first-grade students participated in a counseling lesson with our school counselor, Ms. Raeker, focused on big feelings, conflict resolution, and how to handle challenging situations. Ms. Raeker shared everyday scenarios and gave students the opportunity to talk about how those situations might make them feel. Together, they practiced appropriate words to use when something is bothering them, such as: “I feel ___ when you ___ . Could you please ___?” Students also learned how the other person should respond, practicing phrases like, “Okay, I’m sorry.” Some example situations included when someone talks about a toy being better than theirs or when someone is singing in their ear. Students discussed how to calmly communicate their feelings and let others know when something is upsetting or uncomfortable. The goal of the lesson was to give students tools for resolving conflicts respectfully and to help them understand when it’s time to seek help from an adult if the situation does not improve.

On Wednesday, we celebrated reaching our second Beanstack goal—75,000 minutes logged so far this year!

To mark the occasion, students tapped into their creativity by building their ideal reading and relaxation spaces out of LEGO bricks. The designs were imaginative, thoughtful, and full of great ideas—we loved seeing them all!

We have one more goal to reach this year: 160,000 minutes by May 11th.

Let’s keep reading and logging those minutes. Let’s go, Nike Scouts!
