Hi, Portage Community! My name is Heidi Nickel, and I have been teaching since 1997. My goal as a teacher to ensure all students reach their highest potential while building their self-esteem. My passion is to develop students into life-long learners and have the love for reading.
Outside of school I enjoy spending time with my family. My husband and I were blessed with our first daughter, Samantha in 2007, who loves music and plays a variety of instruments. Lindsay, my youngest daughter was born in 2011, and she loves anything with movement especially soccer. As a family, we love any outdoor activity such as biking, hiking, camping and skiing. Please keep an eye out for me swimming, biking or running through the community; since I love competing in triathlons.
In the spring of 2018, I began Girls on the Run (GOTR) club at Rusch Elementary to spread my passion of running and being mindful. Please check out Girls on the Run website for further details. https://www.girlsontherun.org/
