KSA testing is fast approaching and just around the corner! To support and encourage our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade Nichols Knights, we are collecting individually packaged candy donations to create special candy grams.
These sweet treats will be delivered by our Primary students to their testing buddies as a fun way to spread encouragement and school spirit! 💛❤️
If you’d like to contribute, please send in donations by May 1st. For more details, be sure to check out the attached flyer.
Mrs. Blissett invites you to celebrate “Library Love” all April long! Students can participate throughout the entire month, building strong reading habits and discovering new favorites along the way. Every participant will earn a prize, so grab a book and get started!

After learning about Hurricane Katrina and making a real-world connection to a family in Jamaica, students didn’t just ask questions… they took action. From collecting donations to problem-solving how to pack every last item, this class (and school!) came together to make a difference.
This is authentic learning in action. Students seeing beyond themselves, working together, and realizing they don’t have to wait to impact the world. They can lead right now.
Watch this episode of Beyond the Bell to see how one idea grew into a powerful example of service, empathy, and student voice in action.

Yesterday, our Knights celebrated Read Across America Week with a special Leaders as Readers event!
We were pleased to welcome members of our BCPS district leadership who spent the morning visiting classrooms, sharing a book, and talking with students about what it means to be a leader. Our students loved hearing stories and learning how reading helps leaders grow!
A big thank you to our special guests:
📖 Dr. Jesse Bacon, Superintendent
📖 Mr. Patrick Durham, Director of Elementary Education
📖 Mrs. Stefanie Kleinholter, Director of Communications
Events like this remind our students that leaders are readers, and reading opens the door to endless possibilities. We are so grateful for these leaders who took time to inspire our Knights!
Happy Read Across America Day!
Today, students, teachers, parents, and community members across the country are coming together to celebrate the power and joy of reading!
Our Knights are opening doors to imagination, understanding, and endless opportunity. Through reading, our students are strengthening their literacy skills, exploring diverse stories, and discovering books that both reflect their own experiences and introduce them to new perspectives.
We are proud to foster a lifelong love of reading in every student. Keep turning those pages, Knights! ❤️💛
All hail our King, Wyatt! 👑✨ Wyatt, a shining star in second grade, earned his royal title by showing the most improved attendance for the month of February. Now that’s some true knightly dedication and perseverance! 🛡️⚔️

Way to lead the knights, Wyatt! Keep up the amazing work!
Through her encouraging words, our Knights were reminded that kindness, courage, and confidence are the true superpowers we carry 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!
