Minnieville Nest System
Minnieville Elementary’s school mascot is the eagle. Our students from all grade levels are randomly placed into four nests (teams). Each nest holds a deeper meaning and serves as an instant family for our school community:
Bateleur -Black-Bravery
The Bateleur is a medium-sized eagle in the family Accipitridae. Its closest relatives are the snake eagles. It is the only member of the genus Terathopius and may be the origin of the "Zimbabwe Bird", national emblem of Zimbabwe.
Kinabalu-Red- Integrity
The mountain serpent eagle (Spilornis kinabaluensis), also known as the Kinabalu serpent eagle, is a bird of prey that is found in northern Borneo.[2] It is found at altitudes of 1,000–4,100 metres (3,300–13,500 ft) in forest, especially where it becomes stunted.
Aquila Blue-Friendship
Aquila is a constellation on the celestial equator. Its name is Latin for 'eagle' and it represents the bird who carried Zeus/Jupiter's thunderbolts in Greco-Roman mythology.
Imperial-Purple-Persistence
The Imperial eagle is a large species of bird of prey that breeds from southeastern Europe to western and central Asia. Most populations are migratory and winter in northeastern Africa and southern and eastern Asia.
Students earn points for their Nest by exhibiting good behavior, demonstrating mastery or personal bests efforts in academics and by performing community service. A digital management system will keep a tally of all points for instant feedback. The Nest with the most points each 9 weeks will be recognized with a celebration. Our Nest system rules are life skills that will help all students be more successful as they grow and mature.
