Nickajack Box Top for Education
Campaign
October 12th - October 26th
We know you've been saving
them and now it's time to turn them in! Our first campaign of the
year starts on October 12th and runs through October 26th.
Each class will have their very own container to fill with clipped box
tops. In order to get credit for your class the box top must be
cut and then put in your class container.
We hope everyone will want to participate to earn money for our school.
So ask your neighbors, family and friends to save their box tops so you
can win for your class while also winning for Nickajack.
Each winning class in each grade will earn a reward at school. So get
your kids cutting and send in those Box Tops!!!

2017-2018
Nickajack
has added two 1st grade classes to our Dual Language English/Spanish
Immersion program! Last year's Kindergartners will move up to 1st
grade and we will welcome our second group of Kindergarten students to
the program.
This unique model provides instruction and support for students in
learning both languages. Students will split their day between
instruction in Spanish and English.
-
We will continue to grow this program each year through Grade 5.
-
We will instill cultural competence and enhance communication
among our students and community.
-
Our vision and mission is to develop and honor the greatness in everyone
and help every child to become a leader.
-
Our Dual Language English/Spanish Immersion program will help students
to become bi-lingual and bi-literate in an ever changing world.
