Happy custodian appreciation day!

Scottie Buddies has begun! This is such a great way for our 4th graders to show off their leadership skills and be good role models for our kindergarteners!




Shipshe Scott's fourth graders had a beautiful day to take a trip back in time to Sauder Village. Students were able to visit the Native and Newcomers, the village green, which was made up of various shops and buildings, and businesses from the 1920's.

Yesterday our 3rd and 4th graders had the opportunity to volunteer for the nonprofit organization Feed My Starving Children.
