Showing Unconditional Support: He's always there, cheering on our Ponies and celebrating their achievements.

Building Our Community: He connects staff, students, and parents into one strong Nicholasville Elementary family unit.

We are highlighting students who embody our core graduate profile words! Today, we celebrate a Pony Award winner recognized for their incredible Work Ethic!

This student consistently demonstrates dedication, perseverance, and a strong commitment to doing their best in everything they pursue. Their hard work is truly commendable and sets a fantastic example for all of us.

This week, we want to take a moment to recognize and celebrate Mrs. Robyn Mays, our incredible school psychologist here at NES!

Mrs. Mays supports our students in so many ways by helping them build confidence, manage emotions, develop positive relationships, and succeed both in and out of the classroom. She works closely with teachers, families, and staff to ensure every student feels seen, supported, and capable of reaching their full potential.

We are so thankful for Mrs. Mays’ dedication, compassion, and the positive difference she makes every day for our NES students and families. Thank you for all you do, Mrs. Mays! We appreciate you!
