GREEN BAY (NBC 26) — While athletes from around the world compete on the biggest stage in sports at the Tokyo Olympics, students from Nicolet Elementary School, 1309 Elm St., have been learning and practicing Olympic values and traits.
Each week of summer school, students have learned about a specific character trait, and an Olympian who has embodied that trait. On Friday morning, summer school students participated in an Olympic discus throw with water balloons.
This week’s character trait was “Respect,” and the featured Olympian was Usain Bolt.
“We worked hard to create a summer school theme at Nicolet that our students could really have fun and engage with,” said Nicolet Elementary School Administrative Intern Lori McArthur. “We have an Olympic training activity for our students every Friday, and they can earn medals throughout the week for positive behavior. We have talked all summer about the Olympic values and what the five rings stand for.”
