Parents Night
Nickerson School held a Parents night - Title I/Anti-bullying night on
March 4th, 2009. "Pig out on Reading" Farmer Minor and Daisy the pig
were our guests. Daisy is a pot-bellied pig who has traveled around 48
of the 50 states to encourage children to read. The night was a
huge success with 68 adults and 73 students in attendance. Mrs.
Boguen challenged the students to raise $100.00 in quarters to have our
"Reading Wizard" Mrs. Kivel kiss the pig! Our students met and
beat that goal!
Take Time Program
This year for our Take Time to exercise program we will be walking the
distance from Nickerson School to Tokyo Japan! A total
distance
of 6,774 miles. We hope to reach our goal by May 2009
Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
Thanks to Linda Hartkopf, Nickerson School received the Fresh Fruits
and Veggies Grant from the State of Maine. Every Tuesday and
Thursday Nickerson students are given fruits and veggies for snack.
The students help cut, wash, and preparethese snacks. This
has been a wonderful learning and healthy project.
5th Grade Blog
Nickerson 5th graders have been working on learning how to create a
blog with Mrs. Boguen. Each student has their own blog page and
have been postie their work throughout the year. The blog has
been very exciting for the students.
