With school schedules changing again, our Nixon team has some long, tiring work days ahead. Help us make grab-and-go survival kits to hand out as they come into work on April 5th.

They have put in the hard work this year!
That's an understatement!
We have several exciting initiatives in the works to help support them, particularly during the big transition coming up on April 5th and end of year celebrations. All donations made here go directly back to the Teachers and Staff you care about. The more you give, the more we can do to support them and show we care!
Thank you to all those who have already donated.
Just a little boost...
Last week we spoiled our Nixon teachers and staff with tasty circles of sugar and hot liquid stimulant to help them get through their long days!
Student participant sign-up
Show us your love of science, engineering and technology by using the scientific method and presenting your discoveries!
Need something to work on over April vacation? Participants will prepare and upload their presentations by April 25th and then our Guest Scientists, Teachers and Principals will comment on your wonderful work.
In this show, discover the real science behind some of the most popular super hero powers. Explore the science of flight, how science can make things invisible, and how Spiderman might walk up walls using fun high-energy experiments.
This is a LIVE interactive virtual show with exciting demonstrations and work-along experiments you can conduct during the show by gathering a few common household items from your home.
We are looking for teachers and parents to volunteer an hour of their time, any time during the week of April 28th through May 5th to watch student presentations of their science projects and provide them with comments and feedback on an online platform. Be a scientist for a day!
In order for all students to be represented in our 2020-2021 yearbook, we need families to contribute photos of their students as they have special moments this year.

PTO Open Board Positions
We are looking for dedicated volunteers to fill open positions in our PTO Board starting in June 2021.
Co-chair
Term June 2021- June 2023. The new co-chair will work along side the current co-chair Haley Bush during the 2021-2022 Academic Year, learning how the PTO is run, and then continue for a second year passing on knowledge to the next co-chair. The co-chairs collaborate to produce a strategic plan and budget, coordinate volunteers, communicate with members and partner with building Principals, Teachers and the district Superintendent to facilitate the mission. Estimated time commitment = 1-4 hours per week.
Secretary
This volunteer is responsible for collaborating with the executive board, attending PTO meetings and producing meeting minutes. Estimated time commitment = 1-3 hours per month.
Treasurer
Apprentice along side our two current Treasurers to learn the ropes of our non-profit organization. You would not have any direct responsibilities at the start, but would gradually transition into the Treasurer role. Estimated time commitment = 1-2 hours per month.
Please contact Haley & Janelle at cochairs@nixonpto.org if you are interested in any of these roles. We look forward to hearing from you!
Like to be involved but are not sure what role would be a good fit? We have volunteer opportunities for all whether you have 1 hour or 100 hours. Send us an email and we can give you some options!
Acts of Kindness continue...
All Nixon students have been asked to complete three acts of kindness each week during the month of March. Each act is written on a plastic tag and added to the display on the fence surrounding the black top play space. Drive by and check out our growing rainbow!
Great job students! Continue performing your acts of kindness and turning in your tags to your classroom teacher!
