DO YOU KNOW WHAT TODAY IS???? It's Principal's Day!!! Dr. Hoots is our "fearless leader", who has been a staple of Nexton Elementary for 6 years. It is such a blessing to have a principal who is compassionate, empowering, and a servant-leader. We don't think that anyone can say "Nexton Elementary" without thinking of Dr. Hoots. The lasting impact that she has made at our school will be seen for decades to come. Thank You and Love You Dr. Hoots!!!!
