January is the time when we make goals. We are going to start a whole school reading challenge . The entire school tracked their reading minutes and read a total of 84,430 minutes. The goal was to increase our reading stamina, which is the amount of time we read and to complete the books we read.

We have many exciting things going on at Nike! Below you will see a bulleted list of events coming up:

• Wed., Feb. 8th- 100th Day of School is February 8th- We would like to invite the students to dress up like they are 100 years old. Get creative with glasses, hair, and outfits. It's a lot of fun!

• Thurs., Feb. 9th- 101st day of school- To celebrate, we are asking students and staff to dress up as the 101 Dalmations. Your child is not required to participate.

Reminder for 3rd and 4th grade parents, A La Carte items at lunch do cost extra and this is an optional choice for students. If you do not want your student(s) getting A La Carte items, please contact the office and the office staff will block this option for your student(s).

As a reminder, do not pass vehicles in the dropoff / pickup line. It is for the safety of our students that parents use good driving behaviors.
