Before we left for Spring Break, we were shining our spotlight on Kim Mast! Kim has been a 4th grade teacher here for 15 years!
Kim's dedication runs deep, her loyalty is unwavering, and her strength & intelligence inspire those around her. Her committment to her students and their growth is truly something special! Outside of the classroom, Kim is a sports enthusiast. She has coached students in both volleyball and basketball, and she also finds joy in cheering on her own children in their sports.
When asked what she loves about Shipshe-Scott, Kim said "It feels like family!"
Thank you Mrs. Mast, for everything you do!!

This past week our fourth graders took a trip to the Air Zoo. We want to give a shout out Lutes Flying Service for our matching t-shirts!
While there the students were able to see planes from WWII, along with space shuttles and lots of other fighter planes. They were able to work with some science experiences. We also had a little fun riding the rides.
This week's All-Star Spotlight has been shining on the one and only Lindsay Swanson! Lindsay has been our school nurse at Shipshe-Scott for 6 years!
Whether she's treating minor injuries, managing health concerns, or simply offering comforting words, she approaches every situation with kindness and professionalism. We are incredibly grateful for her hard work, expertise, and the genuine care she shows to everyone she helps. Here's what she had to say about why she loves Shipshe-Scott:
"I love our fierce leader that always has our backs, our irreplaceable secretary/security guard that keeps us all safe, organized, and laughing, and our staff that works well together to ensure the best for our students, and our students that put smiles on our faces every day!!"
Thank you for everything you do, Mrs. Swanson!
Just a reminder: there is no school for Westview Schools on Friday, March 14th. We hope all our students enjoy the three-day weekend. We will see you all again on Monday, March 17th.
"Once upon a time at Shipshe-Scott..."
Our students brought their favorite storybook characters to life!
2B celebrated Read Across America Week and IREAD testing by having a reading day. They read in various ways and had guest readers.
Our All-Star Spotlight this week goes to Carlie Cripe! Carlie is our art teacher here at Shipshe-Scott.
Carlie is wonderfully creative and one of the kindest people you will meet! Outside of teaching art, Carlie enjoys reading, being creative, and remodeling houses with her husband. Fun fact: she originally went to school for nursing! I think it's safe to say we are all pretty grateful she changed her mind!
When asked what she loves most about Shipshe-Scott, Carlie said: "The people and the kids!"
Thank you, Mrs. Cripe for everything you do!!
We had some pretty creative students last week on Crazy Hair Day!
IREAD testing is happening next week! We want to wish all our 2nd and 3rd graders the best! You can do this!
Grandparent's day was a BLAST!
Stu, the South Bend Cub's mascot, came to encourage our 4th graders to read! If they read 10 or more Red and Gold books they earn a ticket to a Cubs game.
The students and teachers had fun dressing like a farmer last Thursday!
Last week our All-Star Spotlight was shining on Talandra Neff! Talandra is our special education teacher for grades 3 and 4.
Talandra has taken on many roles not only at Shipshe-Scott, but also in her career as an educator! We are so lucky to have her pouring into our students. She gives 110% to her students, and also to her coworkers whenever we need her advice (which is quite often!). When asked what she loves about Shipshe-Scott, Talandra said:
"I love that all the staff is kind to one another and we respect each other. All the staff care about the students and each other. Shipshe-Scott is a great place to work because there is no drama!"
Thank you, Mrs. Neff for everything you do!!
