Zitzman students recently took time to celebrate their 2nd trimester progress. The day kicked off with an awards assembly, recognizing students chosen by their peers for demonstrating our 4 pillars: respect, responsibility, communication, and citizenship. Teachers also honored students who embodied our district's additional pillars of resilience, critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. The celebration continued with goal setting, Gus' Pretzels, puzzle fun, and flower creations for our school-wide collaborative art project. It was a fantastic day of recognition and fun! 💜✨ #root&rise #MVNation #GrowingTogether

Nike Elementary 2nd graders took a leadership role in a whole-school service-learning project this month.

They worked hard to organize and run a Stuffed Animal Drive, which helped the "Jail Buddies" program of the Franklin County Sheriff's Department. This program allows officers to gift stuffed animals to children they encounter in traumatic situations. Students learned about the benefits of this program and discussed the importance of giving back to their community. From creating posters and advertising this project to collecting, counting, cleaning, and even graphing the donation numbers, these Nike Scouts did an amazing job. Through their efforts, Nike Elementary was able to acquire close to 700 stuffed animals! A school-wide assembly was held to hand over these donations to Sergeant Perkins of the Franklin County Sheriff's Department. We are so proud of our 2nd graders for leading the way and making a difference! #MVNation #GrowingTogether
