"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!!
We are so proud of our 4th graders!! Today they put on Shipshewana-Scott's first ever wax musuem! They put so much work into their projects and research and it showed today! Job well done!

This week's All-Star Spotlight has been shining on the wonderful Chelsea Miller! Chelsea is currently one of our kindergarten teachers.
Chelsea is a Scottie through and through! She attended SES for elementary school and has now been a teacher here for 2 years! Along with being an amazing teacher, Chelsea also enjoys ceramics, hiking, and baking. When asked why she loves Shipshe-Scott, Chelsea said:
"I love the way the staff comes together to support each other and our students. I also love seeing the growth the kids make. The kids grow up so fast and being able to see and be a part of that really feels like a blessing."
Thanks for everything you do, Mrs. Miller!!
