November 2025 Teacher of the Month
In cooperation with the Mayor's office and City Council, the Rotary Club of Okla. City recognizes an outstanding teacher in our community
Nickie Mayes has been named Teacher of the Month for November 2025 by the Millwood Public School District.
Nickie is a 7th Grade Geography Teacher at Millwood Arts Academy, and is known as a "True Champion." She is a Change Agent in education and believes that all students can and will learn. As a master teacher, she maintains high expectations for herself and her students. Well respected among her peers, Nickie uses her strong leadership skills to advocate for the members of her school community and supports her colleagues by modeling best practices, sharing resources, and serving as a teacher-mentor.
Nickie is poised, energetic, confident, creative, and thinks fast on her feet—expertly balancing the social, emotional, and academic needs of all her students; and her rapport with students and parents is nothing short of remarkable.
Congratulations, Nickie!

Toy Collection
During the month of November, our club will be collecting toy donations on behalf of Christmas Connection. Our board is excited to help support this community toy drive which will provide toys at no cost to families this coming holiday season. While they gladly welcome any toy for children newborn up to 14, they are in most need of toys for 0-2 and 11-14. We’ll have a box available to receive those donations as you enter our meeting each week.
