Nike Scouts, Let’s Show Our Community We Care!
Help support our community by participating in our Canned Food Drive! Every donation, big or small, can help make a difference for families in need. Together, we can show what it means to be a caring Nike Scout!
“Caring means feeling a genuine concern for the well-being of others; it means being unselfish, having a charitable spirit, and being generous to others.”
Let’s put our Nike Scout values into action and show our community just how much we care! Every can counts!

Thoughts from Dr. Tollison:
Happy Friday Nike Families,
It is hard to believe we are already entering November! We have three weeks of school before we enjoy a week off for Thanksgiving break. As we head into this busy month, thank you for your continued support and for being such an important part of our Nike family.
Next week, we will kick off our Canned Food Drive! This is a wonderful opportunity to teach our students about kindness, generosity, and helping others in our community. Thank you in advance for supporting this important cause.
A quick reminder to mark your calendars: Thursday, November 12, will be a half day of school, and there will be no school on Friday, November 13. Please plan accordingly for these schedule changes.
Thank you for partnering with us to make Nike Elementary a wonderful place to learn and grow. Let's make November a great month as we continue growing tomorrow's difference makers!
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us by calling the school office at 636-271-1444 or emailing jtollison@mvr3.k12.mo.us. We appreciate your continued support!
