Day 5 of Teacher Appreciation Week was AMAZING! 🌟
We wrapped up this wonderful week of gratitude with delicious BBQ, made by our very own Coach Cantey, to celebrate our incredible teachers! The food was great, but the real highlight was showing our appreciation for the hard work, dedication, and passion that our teachers bring every day.
A big thank you to everyone who helped make this week special. Here's to the amazing educators who inspire, nurture, and shape the future!




Nichols-Lawson students and staff welcomed upcoming 6th graders this week by taking a tour of the middle school and meeting their future teachers! We look forward to having this great group of students in August!
