The school reversed their decision and Mr. Nico is returning to the classroom. This has been a draining road for everyone involved, but seeing him back with the children makes the struggle worth it. Keep checking in on the program because we need to remain watchful to ensure this stability …

We at Bright Generations have a wonderful Pre-K teaching team. It is an environment where the sum is greater than the whole. Mr. Nico is one of the reasons why. On Wednesday, September 24, Mr. Nico was let go from the school.

Nico developed a personal relationship with our children. He played with them, he loved watching them learn, he was a disciplinarian, and at the end of each Pre-K year, he would give out awards to the children for their best quality - most athletic, best sharer, etc. We feel like he should not be let go without a fight.

The quiet from the administration is weighing on all of us but I am still reaching out to board members every single day. Seeing how much Mr. Nico meant to the children keeps me going through the exhaustion of these endless phone calls.

Of all the teachers that have been in our kids' lives, none have had as much impact as Mr. Nico. He is kind, talented, patient, warm, smart and funny. He has a gift with the children that cannot be replaced. The decision to let him go should carefully have considered all aspects of his impact in the classroom. Please bring back our Mr. Nico.

Mr. Nico is the BEST! Gavin enjoyed Pre-K and Summer Camp because of Mr. Nico. He is very engaging with the kids and Gavin thought of him as his 'best-friend'. Mr. Nico even came to Gavin's basketball game and Gavin was so happy!!! Please bring him back!!! He makes a difference in the lives of our children and we need more teachers like him.

I am a new parent at BG and am extremely troubled at the recent high turnover of staff. I thought very highly of Mr. Nico, and am very sorry to see him go, especially over the protests of parents.

Mr. Nico has truly blessed our family and made such a positive impact on Chase. Chase thrived under the safe, loving, and nurturing environment Mr. Nico provided. The school will not be the same without him. Please consider investigating further the positive impact Mr. Nico has made on so many children and the loss the school will experience if he can not be reinstated.

Bring Mr. Nico back! Thank goodness for the combination of discipline, learning, and fun that Mr. Nico provided during Braelynn's pre-K year and at camp. I just asked Braelynn what she remembers about Mr. Nico, and she just started laughing uncontrollably with the happy memories. He is a truly special teacher.

Mr. Nico has had a very positive influence on Sofie and our older daughter Ariana when she was enrolled in the summer camp. I believe it's the process that failed and not the person. Please fix the process and bring back Mr. Nico.

Mr. Nico is an asset to the children as a mentor and someone they can look up to. He should be reinstated.
