This week, our 3rd graders had an exciting field trip to the South Bend Chocolate Factory! They learned all about how different treats are made—and even got to sample some delicious goodies. Afterward, we enjoyed lunch at Howard Park and had a great time playing on the playground.
Congratulations to 3rd grader, Sean Slabach, for reaching 300 AR points this year. He was rewarded with lunch at the Blue Gate. Thank you Blue Gate for lunch!
We want to send a heartfelt thank you to our community for your continued support of the Westview district, and for passing the referendum renewal at 90.02% approval. We appreciate you!
Our Kindergarten and First Grade students had a special visit yesterday!
Dr. Susie Lee and her dog, Homer, stopped by to talk about what it’s like to be a veterinarian. The students were fascinated to learn how she helps animals stay healthy. Ms. Christine and her dog, Legend, also joined us to share how animals are trained. The highlight? Everyone got a chance to pet the dogs! It was a tail-wagging good time full of learning and smiles.
Thank you Dr. Lee and Ms. Christine for taking the time to share with us!
Proud to wear RED in support of our amazing school and the incredible work being done every day by our dedicated educators and staff! United we stand for our students, our classrooms, and our future.
Our Spotlight today is on Jess Sweet! Jess is an amazing interventionist who brings heart, dedication, and serious teaching skills to everything she does. She has a special gift for keeping students focused, motivated, and always striving to do their best.
On top of being a rockstar educator, Jess is also working toward her Master’s degree in education — proof that she’s just as committed to her own learning as she is to her students’. A fun fact about Jess is that she can recite the alphabet backwards! When asked what she loves most about Shipshe-Scott, she said: "The community and family feel!"
Thank you, Mrs. Sweet, for all the ways you support your students and continue to grow as a teacher. Your passion makes a real difference, and we’re lucky to have you!
Our 4th graders went to a South Bend Cubs game on Friday! Every student who read 10 or more of our Reading for Red and Gold books were award a ticket! Everyone had a great time even though the night got a little chilly! Thanks Mrs. Whittern for making this possible for our students!
Students and staff at Shipshewana Scott enjoyed their delicous cheeseburgers for lunch today. We want to give a huge shout out to Cedar Creek Meats for making this meal possible.

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!"

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!
