My name is Mariah Bishop and I am the kindergarten teacher at Woodman School. I am so excited to get to know you and your children.
I was born and raised here in Montana and have spent most of my life in Missoula. I attended Montana State University for three years before transferring to the University of Montana to complete my degree in Early Childhood Education. While attending the university, I was employed at the Learning and Belonging Preschool as a preschool aide and at Woodman School as a substitute teacher. I have worked with students in preschool through third grade, but especially love working with kindergarteners and helping foster their love for learning.
I enjoy spending time in the outdoors - camping, paddle boarding, floating the river, snowboarding, snow tubing, ice skating, etc. My fiancé and I take our two mini Australian Shepherds, Rosco and Dobby, everywhere that we can. We also enjoy playing board games, traveling, and going to amusement parks.

Mrs. Wilson: Grades 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades
Mrs. Wilson:
I have been teaching since beginning my Education degree at LCSC in 1991; multiple ages and stages. I also spent many years in the fire suppression world of the USFS, educating pre-K-adults. I have a history minor and reading endorsement (K-12). I grew up in rural, north central, Idaho. I have a great love of all things outside and all seasons. My husband Mark is a fire management officer, so I am often a single parent much of the year. We have 2 sons, Jace and Trevor and a big, yellow lab named Tank. We are often found off the grid, outside in the middle of chaos and adventure.

Dr. Lipkind: Missoula County Superintendent of Schools
elipkind@woodmanschool.org
My name is Erin Lipkind and I am the Missoula County Superintendent of Schools. I am elected by the citizens of Missoula County to oversee the rural school districts in the county. In particular, I work with school districts that do not have a superintendent or a principal, and sometimes I assist districts that have just a principal but no superintendent at the request of the school board or principal. I also assist the library and manage the library collections at Woodman and Sunset Schools.
