BACK THE JACK
The Nickajack Elementary Foundation needs your help in raising the funds necessary to support our school’s commitment to technology, academic excellence and student success and to provide our kids with the most competitive education possible!
The foundation has been raising funds for Nickajack for thirteen years. With the cooperation of our Nickajack families, teachers, and communities, we have continually supported the educational program in many different ways.
This year our focus is on Teacher Grants, Teacher Training (with regard to dyslexia, writing, etc.), Literacy Kits for first grade, school-wide STEAM days throughout the year, other physical improvements, and support for Specials classrooms.
We suggest a donation of $250 per child but all donation levels are welcomed and appreciated. Your employer may also match your donation.

“The grant we received to purchase two lighted sensory tables for the autism units has been the greatest addition to the classroom. Our students thrive and learn in sensory-styled environments and the light table has helped us meet more goals by by giving our students a creative way to learn as well as provide discovery and sensory integration.”
