THURSDAY - Nipher staff are stepping into “The Secret Garden” and making an arrangement to keep the magic alive in their classroom or at home. 💐
“Forrest Gump” is also making an appearance to spread positivity, empathy, and kindness… “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.” 🍫

WEDNESDAY - We kicked off the morning with “The Breakfast Club” because MAP testing mornings need a little rebellion and a LOT of coffee! ☕️
Then later that afternoon we traded in tardy bells for wedding bells with “Father of the Bride” wedding cake! 🍰

PTO Volunteer Request: Staff Appreciation Week (May 4-8)
Hello, Nipher parents!
Please consider volunteering your time and/or creative skills to help make the 2026 Nipher Staff Appreciation week one that will impress the Academy! As we all know, Nipher teachers and staff are STARS in every role they fulfill! Building off the 8th grade dance theme of "Hollywood Red Carpet", we are taking our teachers back in time to Blockbuster - encouraging them to "Be Kind and UNWIND" - featuring a few movie classics!
Each day will feature two "movie showings" - some more elaborate than others!
We are looking for folks to volunteer at school to help with set up, clean up, pick up food items, etc. as well as some volunteers to flex their creative/artistic skills to help prep decor for each theme at their convenience from home.
Please use the Sign Up Genius link below to sign up for one (or multiple!) slots that best suit your interest/availability.
