Our 2nd graders wrapped up their Greek Civilization unit with a fun and creative twist — the Potato Olympics! Students designed their very own potato athletes and competed in events like gymnastics, dance, long jump, and distance rolling. 🏃♀️💃
It was an exciting way to bring history to life! The students learned so much about ancient Greece while having a blast cheering on their spud-tacular athletes! 🥔🎉
This week, we’re celebrating Mrs. Mallory Berkey! Mallory has been part of the Shipshe-Scott family for 14 years, and this year she made the exciting transition from 1st grade teacher to Interventionist.
Mallory is an incredible educator — knowledgeable, friendly, easy to work with, and someone who truly cares about her students. Her dedication and positive energy shine in everything she does. Outside the classroom, Mallory loves to travel and has explored 4 of the 7 continents (how amazing is that?!).
We’re so thankful to have Mallory as both a coworker and friend. Thank you for all you do, Mrs. Berkey! 💙✏️🌍

A big thank you to the wonderful folks at Knollbrook Farms, as well as the teachers and parents who helped out with our kiddos!🧡
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!

👉 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!
