Join us TONIGHT for our Open House! Doors will open at 4:30 with a short welcome message in the gym from our new Principal, Mrs. Rigazio! Come on out to meet some new faces and to say "hello" to those that are familiar!

We’re also excited to kick off the 2025 school year with our theme: “Oh, The Places You’ll Go!” This year, we’re focusing on growth through experiences that challenge the imagination and create unity. Our goal is to help every student dream big and move forward as we build the future—one learning experience at a time.

To bring this theme to life, we’ve teamed up with Alchemy Collaborative to launch a special online spirit store for families and staff! Brooke, with Alchemy Collaborative, took our theme and added a creative twist—turning it into a “quest” that ties in perfectly with our Knight mascot and House system.

We’ll have a table set up at Open House where you can preview the gear and get information on how to order. The PTA will be your main contact if you have any questions or need help accessing the store.

We look forward to an incredible year full of learning, growth, and school spirit!

Warmly,
The Nichols Team

We are beyond proud of our amazing educators who had the opportunity to attend the Elevate Conference in Nashville! 🌟 Mrs. French, Mrs. Yates, Mrs. Thornsberry, and Mrs. Blissett were able to attend in person!

Elevate is a professional development event that brings educators together for inspiring speakers, hands-on workshops, and incredible networking opportunities. This year, our teachers heard from Gerry Brooks, known for his expert tips on classroom management and fostering positive school culture.

And a special moment for Mrs. French, who had the opportunity to meet the legendary Jack Hartmann! 🎶🙌

Here’s to continuous growth, lifelong learning, and making an even bigger impact in our classrooms!
