Nichols Leadership Academy News #14
A Leader in Me School
Sunday Announcement!
Hello Navigators!
Please note there is no school on Wednesday, November 11th in recognition of Veteran's Day.
Thank you so much for all the support with our APEX Fun Run. We have exceeded our fundraising goal as well as what we earned last year. I often get questions about why we use an outside company for this event. In the end we have found that they bring so much learning and excitement to the campus, it becomes an easy yet highly engaging event and we always do really well with the fundraising. In years past we have done runs on our own, but ended up with about a quarter of what we get with APEX.
We would like to invite all parents and caregivers of Multilingual Learners to attend our upcoming English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC) Meeting on Monday, November 9, 2026 at 7:45-8:15 in the Library Conference room. There will also be a virtual option. During this meeting, we will provide an overview of what ELAC is, discuss its purpose and role in supporting our Multilingual Learners, and share how ELAC supports students and families at Nichols Leadership Academy. We encourage you to attend, learn more about this important committee, and become involved in supporting the success of our students. Your participation, input, and partnership are greatly valued!
We look forward to seeing you there!
