We are so thankful for our three amazing custodians who do countless jobs behind the scenes to keep our school running smoothly. They are hardworking, reliable, and always know just what to do. Our school wouldn’t be the same without them!
This week’s All-Star is Heidi Mast, our amazing 2nd grade teacher here at Shipshe-Scott! Heidi has been shaping young minds in our school for 20 years, and even grew up walking these same halls as a student herself. She is consistent, knowledgeable, and always a great friend and teammate. We are so thankful for her dedication, her heart for kids, and the positive impact she’s had on our school community. 💙
Thank you for everything you do, Mrs. Mast!
Our 1st graders wrapped up their unit on the human body in the best way possible—with Operation Day! 🩺✨ After learning all about the different body systems, students celebrated with hands-on “surgery” activities. From practicing their skills to exploring what they’ve learned, the day was full of excitement, laughter, and learning. What a fun way to end the unit!
Our 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders enjoyed a special “book tasting” hosted by our wonderful librarian, Mrs. Whittern. Students sampled different books, explored new genres, and then gave each book a star rating based on how much they enjoyed it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
It was such a fun way to get kids excited about reading and discovering new favorites. Thank you, Mrs. Whittern for serving up such a creative and engaging experience!
Laker, Panther & Warrior Nation – we need you ALL!

We are hiring an instructor for the Learn to Work program. This unique initiative connects students across all three LaGrange County schools with exposure to the manufacturing industry and hands-on skills right here in our community.
👉 What’s the role?
This instructor will guide students in the Industrial Electrical Maintenance pathway, helping them gain hands-on experience with electrical systems, safety practices, troubleshooting, and the technical skills needed to succeed in today’s workforce. They will also work directly with our industry partners to provide students with real-world learning opportunities and to strengthen the connection between education and local employers.
👉 Who can apply?
We are specifically seeking candidates with an Industrial Electrical Maintenance background. A traditional teaching license is NOT required – industry professionals can qualify through a Workplace Specialist license; your experience and desire to mentor students matter most!
This is an incredible opportunity to make an impact on students’ futures while sharing your professional expertise.
Say hello to our amazing Ameera Ellis! This is her second year as an interventionist assistant, and let’s just say—she’s got it down to a science. Ameera is equal parts funny, friendly, sarcastic, and kind (a winning combo, if you ask us). The students adore her, and so do we! She knows what she’s doing, does it well, and keeps us all laughing along the way. We’re so lucky to have her on our team! 💛✨
Thank you for everything you do, Mrs. Ellis!!
In the morning, they traveled from classroom to classroom, taking on all kinds of creative challenges:
🌲 Played a new Paul Bunyan game, “Keep the Log in the River”
🏰 Designed a castle fit for Beauty and the Beast
🐂 Built a pen for Babe the Blue Ox
🍎 Engineered a floating wooden raft for Johnny Appleseed’s apples
They wrapped up the day with special treats for everyone—a sweet ending to a day full of imagination and fun! 💫
Remember to bring a blanket or chairs for seating.
