Week of November 16-20, 2026
Week at a Glance:
Thoughts from Dr. Tollison:
Happy Friday Nike Families,
We have 5 school days left before Fall Break. Thanks you families for attending parent teacher conferences, but if you ever need to talk with you child's teacher, feel free to reach out via Rooms or email. If you cannot get ahold of the teacher, please contact me at 636-271-1444.
📚 Nike PTO Meeting — Monday, November 16 at 4:00 p.m.
Join us in the Nike Library. We would love to see more of our Nike families involved!
🎈 Balloons Over Broadway — Friday, November 20 at 3 p.m.
We are doing things a little differently this year! Families will NOT need to create a project at home. Instead, students will create their own projects during Class Families on the morning of November 20. We are excited to see what our students come up with!
🎅 Snowballs with Santa — Thursday, December 4 | 5:30–7:00 p.m.
I am VERY excited to share that Nike PTO is bringing back Snowballs with Santa as an evening family event! There will be a large variety of fun activities for families to enjoy together. Please mark your calendars and plan to join us!
PTO is currently looking for donations for grade-level baskets, the bake sale, and other event needs. If you would like to help, please attend the PTO meeting on November 16 or reach out directly to PTO at austinorf1@gmail.com.
Thank you, Nike families, for your continued support of our students, staff, and school! We are so lucky to have such a wonderful school community.
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!
Your Partner in Education,
Dr. Tollison
