Attention Liberty Parent/Guardian,
As a member of your child’s learning team, your feedback is valuable to us. We have only reached 21% completion percentage for parent feedback on our 5 Essentials Survey.
Our goal is constant improvement that impacts the growth of the whole child. Your feedback will provide Liberty Administration and Bourbonnais Elementary School District 53 with information that we use to make improvements within our school and district.

Mrs. Matson's and Mr. McDaniel's 5th Grade ELA classes celebrated the end of their Wordplay Module today by having a Wordplay Parade. Students chose an idiom to represent and then got to parade around to other classes. It was an exciting Play-on-Words Day!




Liberty Robotics Schedule

Such an amazing food drive! Students worked really hard helping our community! Mr. Rob dressed like a tiger, Mr. Burton had to hold a snake and Mr. Pignatiello and Mrs. Maciejewski had to sing a duet! Liberty donated 3,555 food items! Have a great winter break and we will see you January 3rd!




The Liberty music department has been rocking it over the last couple of weeks. Clarinet players from Liberty and BUGC performed for the Village of Bourbonnais inaugural tree lighting event. They brought Holiday cheer as Bourbonnais community members enjoyed this brand new experience! We also had our winter Band, Orchestra and Choir performances. These musically talented Tigers did an amazing job performing for the first time in well over a year.

Congrats to Payton for receiving the MVP Office Referral. Payton is always going above and beyond in the classroom. She continually gives her best and looks for ways to help her peers. Keep up the great work!

Congrats to Addie Lindsay for receiving our MVP office referral. Addie took it upon herself to organize her classmates in signing a get well card for one of her peers. We love your thoughtfulness Addie!

Good morning! This is a Liberty Intermediate Announcement.
Liberty is currently doing a food drive!!! Items may be donated before the end of next week!! There are some fun things happening on our way to our final goal of 3,500 items. If our main goal is reached, Mr. Pignatiello and Mrs. Maciejewski will be singing a duet!!! Kids, you don't want to miss that!
Next week is also five days of holiday spirit week. There will be a posting on the webpage and Liberty Facebook page for what to do each day. Thanks so much!

Congratualtions to one of our very own Liberty Tigers, Alayna on winning the PTA Ride to School on the Fire Truck. Tomorrow, she will be dropped off in the morning and greeted by her class. Stay tuned for pics tomorrow.
Liberty students have been practicing their public speaking skills by presenting book talks during library time. Book talks are a great way for students to introduce their classmates to all different types of books.

Attention Liberty Parents/Guardians: On Wednesday, October 27th, Liberty staff and students will participate in ALICE Training. This training will be led by Officer Garcia, our SRO, and building administration. The training will take place in the morning from approximately 7:45-10:15. ALICE Training prepares our students and staff in the event that there is ever an armed intruder or an active threat within our building. The structure of the training focuses on learning and implementing the ALICE practices and scenario-based responses. Time is provided for the students and educators to discuss appropriate responses to potentially hazardous situations. ALICE Training is conducted in compliance with the Illinois state drill requirements.
This is coming up...a week from today!
It's a great event and would love to see a lot of families there-
