Thank you to all voters who participated in the April 7 election and took the time to consider Prop S.
On Tuesday, the unofficial results for Prop S, the proposed no tax rate change bond issue for the Meramec Valley R-III School District, showed 56.5% voter approval, falling short of the 57.14% required for passage by 22 votes.
This outcome means we will not be moving forward at this time with plans to construct a new middle school or address the identified facility needs across our schools, including important safety and security upgrades.
The Board of Education and administration remain committed to exploring options to address the district’s facility needs. We will continue engaging with community members and staff as we determine next steps and evaluate future solutions.
We appreciate your continued support of our students, staff, and schools.

The Nike Elementary staff were visited by the Woot Woot Cart this week and enjoyed a warm treat of popcorn and a drink! 🍿
Everyone appreciated the thoughtful surprise and enjoyed taking a few moments to relax and enjoy the treat. Little gestures like this help brighten the day and remind our staff how much they are appreciated for all they do for our Nike Scouts!

First Grade Fun at Nike Elementary!
Our first graders had an exciting visit from the PHS Health Occupation Program /Four Rivers Career Center students! They taught our students all about good hygiene habits. The kids were fully engaged, asked great questions, and had a blast learning from our special guests!

Nike students kicked off April with our monthly assembly, focused on our word of the month: critical thinking! We talked about how critical thinking means making smart choices, solving problems, and thinking carefully before acting.
Our student helpers brought this to life with a fun skit, and students gave a thumbs up or thumbs down to decide if the choices were the right ones. It was a great way to get everyone involved and thinking!
We also celebrated students who earned Positive Office Referrals for showing strong character at school. We are so proud of our Nike students! 👏

🧭🗺️ Our 2nd graders in Mrs. Calvird’s and Mrs. Gann’s classes have been learning how to read maps using a compass rose and a map legend!
To put their new skills into action, students created their own towns and designed maps based on what they’ve learned. From parks and schools to roads and rivers, their creativity and attention to detail really shined!
Way to go, 2nd grade! We have some very talented and artistic students at Nike! 🎨👏

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! 📚✨

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!
