At Nixon, we share the vision of CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT! Each day we all strive to become better and we believe in putting the work in to get better. Our teachers were honored to have the opportunity to work with our partners from Do the Math and Alabama Math, Science, and Technology Initiative!
Build the Habit of Good Character Traits!!
Each month at Nixon, we focus on character traits to help foster a foundation for our boys and girls future. For the month of October, we will focus on "Responsibility".
Here are a few ways scholars can show they are being responsible:
Do what you say you will ❖ Admit when you make a mistake ❖ Think before you act or speak ❖ Keep track of your tasks (homework, chores, etc.) ❖ Be someone others can count on
