Nexton Elementary

We have spirit....yes we do...we have spirit...how about YOU!!!! Last Friday, the whole school had spirit day...staff went all out and rocked their NES gear!!! Best Staff In The State!!!! #Seriously

Last Saturday our own Rocket Robotics team competed in the First Lego League Qualifier event. The team rocked out the day presenting their robot and project in front of judges from the engineering field. As wells competed in three "robot games" where they had to complete missions in a given amount of time using a robot and code they had built from scratch! This amazing group of kids made us so proud coming home with 2nd place in their robot design presentation as a team, Riley Wagner was recognized as a Future Ref in training (Exceptional understanding of the Robot games) and Mrs. Drummond was awarded the Coach Mentor award. We are so proud of the team and every challenge they faced and excelled beyond. We can't wait to see what they do in February at Storm the Citadel.

This week has been so AWESOME with ELA iReady testing, the Holiday Shop, and so much more .... Nexton is going to have a Spirit Day Tomorrow (Friday). All students should wear Nexton shirts/clothes or Nexton color shirts/clothes (Dark Blue and Bright Green). Also, all students have Brag Tag Necklaces...make sure your student brings them (if they are not already at school). Go Explorers!!!!
