In the Spotlight
Mrs. Nikkel brings an unmistakable warmth and positivity to her role as Student Support Facilitator. She has a gift for connecting with students—motivating them to stay focused, stay out of trouble, and keep working toward their goals with persistence and purpose. What makes her impact so genuine is the way she couples accountability with compassion. She is often the first to write a handwritten note to a student, a colleague, or a community member—simple gestures that remind people they are seen, valued, and capable of more than they realize. Her calm demeanor and steady encouragement bring a sense of reassurance to every situation. Mrs. Nikkel embodies what it means to be a servant leader: she listens without judgment, acts with kindness, and serves with quiet strength. She wants nothing more than to see students succeed—academically, personally, and emotionally—and her belief in them never wavers. We are grateful for the presence she brings to our school: someone who quietly makes us better simply by the way she goes about her work.
