Nike Weekly Scout Report

We are working to improve the character initiative at Nike Elementary, and we would appreciate it if you would complete our parent survey. The information you provide is important to us and will be used in planning for our school.

The survey should only take 10 minutes of your time. Please complete the survey today, if possible, but no later than October 15, 2026.

Your response to the survey is anonymous, confidential, and voluntary. Responding to the survey constitutes your consent for us to use the information for district and school planning.

• Spirit Week
• Grandparents or Someone Special Day

Nike Elementary is teaming up with the PHS DECA Program to collect can tabs for the Ronald McDonald House!

Everyone can help with this wonderful cause! Collect tabs from:

• Soda cans
• Soup and vegetable cans
• Pet food cans
• Tennis ball cans

Where do you take them? Bring your tabs to Nike Elementary and drop them in the collection bottle located in the foyer!

Every tab counts, and together, our Nike Scouts can make a difference for families in need! Thank you for supporting this great cause!

We are excited to announce that the Nike Book Fair is coming October 19–23! There will be several opportunities for our Nike Scouts to shop and find some great new books!

Student Shopping Days
Students will have the opportunity to shop during the school day on Wednesday, October 21, and Thursday, October 22.

Grandparents & Special Someone Shopping

Students can also shop with a grandparent or special someone on Thursday, October 22, from 2:00–3:20 PM. (This day requires the guests to be registered in advance. Please use the link attached to the post directly below with passcode.)

PTO Trunk or Treat Shopping
Our final shopping opportunity will be during PTO Trunk or Treat on Friday, October 23, from 5:30–6:30 PM!

Make Shopping Easy with an eWallet!
To make the Book Fair experience a little easier—and so students don't have to bring cash to school—parents can set up a Book Fair eWallet ahead of time. Simply use the link below to get your student's eWallet set up!

We can't wait to see our Nike Scouts at the Book Fair! Happy Reading!

Help us celebrate and recognize Red Ribbon Week with our special Spirit Days! Let's show our commitment to making healthy choices and being drug-free! We can't wait to see the creativity and school spirit our Nike Scouts bring each day!

Let's make it a fun and meaningful week, Nike Scouts!

All participants are greatly appreciated!

Let’s work together to make this a spooktacular experience for our Nike Scouts!

Nike Families!

Come join us on Friday, October 23rd for the Nike PTO Trunk or Treat! It’s going to be a spooktacular time filled with fun, costumes, candy, and lots of smiles! We hope to see all of our Nike Scouts and their families there!

Don’t miss the fun — it’s going to be a spooky great time!

Help Us Make Trunk or Treat a SPOOK-tacular Success!

We’re so excited for Nike Elementary's Trunk or Treat, and we need your help to make it a fun and memorable night for our Nike Scouts! The event will be held on the Nike Elementary Parking Lot October 23rd from 530-630 PM.

We’re looking for volunteers to help with concessions, candy restocking, set-up, clean-up, and other event needs. Whether you can give a little time or a lot, every helping hand makes a difference!

Can’t volunteer? You can still help! We are also accepting donations of food, drinks, and supplies for our concession stand. Donated items help us keep costs down and allow more of the proceeds from concessions to go directly back to supporting our school and students. Please check out the available volunteer spots in the link below and sign up wherever you can!

Thank you for helping us make this a fantastic night for our Nike Scouts!

We may only be one week into the new school year, but we know many families are already looking ahead and planning their next vacation, weekend getaway, family adventure, or doctor’s appointment!

To help make planning a little easier, we’re sharing our Vacation & Appointment Planner!

We know life happens, and we completely understand that our Scouts will occasionally need to miss school. Our goal is simply to encourage families to plan ahead whenever possible so our students can make the most of their time at school.

Every day at school is another opportunity to learn, grow, make memories, and spend time with friends!

Every day counts. Every Scout matters!

Take a look at the planner above and start planning ahead!

• Breakfast is $2.35 per day.
• Lunch is $3.60 per day. Students may purchase extra milk for $.75 per carton.
• How to pay for lunches: Money for your child's meal account can be deposited online or brought to school in an envelope with the student's name and grade.

Do you know someone 50 or older who would be interested in helping a child build confidence and succeed in reading and math?

Oasis Intergenerational Tutoring pairs volunteers aged 50 and above with students in grades K–3 to provide one-on-one support each week throughout the school year. Volunteers can work with one child or several students as tutors, mentors, and friends, helping students strengthen their reading and math skills while building meaningful relationships.

If you or someone you know would enjoy making a difference in a child’s education, sign up today!
