LaMoure Public School

Administrator Spotlight Administrator Interview ~ LaMoure School Laura Shockman: Elementary Principal 1.) Tell us about a professional success story that you’re proud of. A professional success story that I am proud of is my teacher's and their student's state test scores. Last year we had a single-digit number of students in the novice category. Our highest category was proficient. We almost had an equal number of students who scored in the advanced category, which speaks volumes about the instruction that the teachers are providing. This is because we are relentless when it comes to reaching all students. Every student, every day. 2.) What have been some of the most important lessons you’ve learned throughout your career? One important lesson I have learned is to make sure that your students see you smile. It's important for them to know they can count on you for a hug, and a cheerful "good morning". Another lesson I have learned is that a career in education goes beyond the classroom. It's the hours that no one clocks, the work that no one sees and the self-motivation that can make a difference. The school day hours are game time, when and how you prepare and practice is up to you. A third lesson is to embrace a multitude of perspectives and opinions before making decisions, it is important for everyone to feel valued, each person brings talents that can enhance your own. 3.) Tell us a little bit about your family My husband, James and I have four boys, Harrison (5), August (4), Reginald (2) and Robie (2). We enjoy anything that involves rough-housing, goofing around and laughing. I am from Arizona where my mom, dad, brother and sister live. My mom and dad still live in the house I grew up in and I try to go back home as often as I can. This will be my 8th winter in North Dakota, and I'm still adjusting to it! 4.) What’s something that you’ve always wanted to try or learn? I would like to play the piano again. I played when I was young, but when soccer became an every-day activity for me, it didn't fit into my schedule. This one is pretty far out there, but I have had this crazy desire to climb to the base-camp of Mt. Everest. I've also wanted to complete the Tahoe 200, a 200-mile out and back trail run around Lake Tahoe and into the Desolation Wilderness. I'd also like to try and see, in-person, a World Cup final. 5.) If you could give advice to anyone what would it be? We don't stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing. Always play, always find ways to laugh. And, most importantly, BE NICE! You are the core 🍎 of our school! Thank you for all that you do! LaMoure Public School ~ 2023

Administrator Spotlight Administrator Interview ~ LaMoure School High School Principal: Lucas Isaacson 1.) Tell us about a professional success story that you’re proud of. I am proud of all the work the Loboe Time committee has done to make Loboe Time a huge success. Loboe Time has been a great addition to our high school schedule. It has helped to foster many great relationships that may have not ever happened. 2.) What have been some of the most important lessons you’ve learned throughout your career? How important relationships are in education. If students can see that you care they are willing to do whatever you ask of them. 3.) Tell us a little bit about your family. Married Kelli Ihry Hodem in June of 2003. We have 2 children Blase (17) who is a senior and Ella (15) a freshman. We also have a yellow lab named Curry. 4.) What’s something that you’ve always wanted to try or learn? I have always thought it would be fun to give surfing a try. 5.) If you could give advice to anyone what would it be? “You don’t always get what you wish for you get what you work for” You are the core 🍎 of our school! Thank you for all that you do!

Administrator Spotlight Administrator Interview ~ Superintendent Mr. Mitch Carlson 1. Tell us about a professional success story that you are proud of. There are multiple success stories I am proud of during my tenure at LaMoure School. Assembling a great staff that is unified in generating the best educational opportunities for our school and students. I also have the great satisfaction of building projects that have occurred at the School and community that have pulled the patrons of the community together to get the projects completed. 2. What have been some of the most important lessons you have learned throughout your career? One of the most important lessons and in life I have learned is that you do not always have to be first or be the best in the outcome you’re achieving to define success. If you do your best, be a good teammate and a good person, and treat everyone with self-worth, the success stories will follow when following those simple rules. 3. Tell us a little bit about your family. I married Paulette Radermacher in 1992. We have a son Tanner, daughter Courtney, son-in-law Dillon and one grandchild Hayes. Both Tanner and Courtney have chosen the field of education for their profession. 4. What is something that you have always wanted to try or learn? An item that I have always been intrigued with is the law and politics. Although I am content with my current profession, as a second profession would be interested in exploring those areas. 5. If you could give advice to anyone, what would it be? My biggest advice to anyone is do what is right, even when nobody is looking. Give your best effort and treating others with respect will get you far in your professional and personal life. You are the core of our school! Thank you for all that you do!

The 4th grade learned about a school and class in PA in the Great Mail Race. In return, they composed a letter back to tell about our great state and our community. They learned a new card game in place of Phy. Ed. and earned some Choice time, in addition to their regular classes!

Mrs. Carlson and her 4th grade students enjoyed helping the environment by filling many bags with litter on Loboe Give Back Day!

This week during Loboe Time, the high school teachers shared the reasons they continue to show up every day and do this challenging job: https://youtu.be/c16MIqVy-ss?si=ovmvVYp5iLpCcQJn
