We were honored to welcome Ariana Rodriguez, Miss Kentucky, to Nichols Elementary! She shared an inspiring message with our students about how everyone has a superhero inside of them. 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️

Through her encouraging words, our Knights were reminded that kindness, courage, and confidence are the true superpowers we carry every day. 💛

Thank you, Miss Kentucky, for empowering our students to shine bright! ✨

Mrs. Ferrell’s fourth grade class has been working through Character Strong, and this week’s focus was honesty. Students brought the lesson to life by creating and performing their very own honesty skits!

We are so proud of the character, creativity, and courage our Nichols Knights show every day! ⚔️✨

It’s National School Counseling Week! 🎉

This week, we’re shining a big spotlight on the amazing impact school counselors have in our buildings and how our students are better because of the work they do every single day. From boosting academic success to helping students navigate big emotions, build strong relationships, and plan for life beyond school , school counselors are true difference-makers! Every student deserves a counselor cheering them on!

⚔️ Nichols wouldn’t be the same without our very own Knight in shining armor—Ms. Thornsberry! ⚔️
Thank you for supporting our Nichols Knights, families, and staff every single day. Your impact is felt far and wide, and we are so grateful for all you do! 💛❤️

Important Notice Regarding Internet Access

We are writing to acknowledge that some members of the Nichols community are currently experiencing internet outages caused by external service providers. This issue is impacting access to online learning for some of our families.

We understand this presents a challenge to NTI processes, and we sincerely appreciate your patience and flexibility as external providers work to restore service. At this time, we do not have an estimated time of resolution.

If your child is currently unable to access online learning due to an internet outage, please contact your child’s teacher directly as soon as possible. This communication ensures the teacher can make appropriate arrangements for missed instruction and assignments.

Thank you for your continued understanding.

Our amazing third grade class wrapped up a cross-curricular project last week! In science, students learned about animal habitats and observed how living things survive in their environments. In reading, they chose a plant and an animal to research and explored the big question: “How do plants and animals help one another?”

To bring their learning to life, students became authors and illustrators, creating their own informational books. Friday, they proudly shared their work with our first graders, teaching them about habitats, plant-animal partnerships, and answering thoughtful questions during a Q&A session.

We are so proud of their curiosity, creativity, and leadership!

Happy Veterans Day, Knights!

Today we came together to honor the brave men and women who have served our country. Fifth graders Skyler and Sophia R. led a beautiful ceremony reminding us all about gratitude and service.

A special thank-you to Mrs. Smith, one of our amazing teachers and a proud veteran, for sharing what it truly means to serve. And thank you to Mrs. Yates, Mrs. Ferrell’s fourth graders, and Ms. Overstreet’s fifth graders for their wonderful performance of our national anthem! 🎶
