Happy Holidays from Nichols Elementary!
Our students are in the Holiday Spirit this week!
We had some AMAZING visitors last week thanks to Ms. Reid's third grade class!
Just a quick heads-up! Our Holiday Spirit Week kicks off on December 15th. Be sure to check out the flyer for all the details!
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!

Congratulations to our Nichols Red Ribbon Week and Safe Schools Week poster and essay winners! We’re so proud of Sophia R., Laylah, Victoria, Evelyn, and Mrs. Thornsberry’s Kindergarten Class for their creativity and commitment to promoting safe, healthy choices.
Way to go, Knights!

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! 🎶
We are so grateful for all who have served—today and every day. ❤️💙

We were honored to welcome Dr. Bacon to NES today. It was a wonderful opportunity to showcase incredible learning happening across our school community everyday.
Second Grade Success Alert! 🚨
Mrs. Kimball's class successfully wrapped up their project about their favorite places, which included a fantastic display of map-making and opinion writing! Students practiced being Effective Communicators by speaking clearly, providing supporting details, and presenting their ideas with confidence.
We love watching them grow as writers and presenters! Great job second grade!
We want to give a big THANK YOU to our friends at the Nichols Branch Library (BCPL) for hosting another great pumpkin patch for our students!
