What an amazing thing you all have done in showing support for one of our fellow Team Liberty members. The kindness and generosity our families, students, teachers, and community has shown for Urva and the Purohit family is truly overwhelming. Thank you all for your support! Moments like this make me so proud to be a part of Team Liberty! Team Liberty is for U-R-V-A.

The students in Mrs. Riegel’s 6th grade science class are making a model of a plant cell. They are turning their plant cell into a city. They have to show how all the organelles would be represented in a city by how the plant cell/the city runs. The students are being super creative! Can’t wait to see the finished projects!

Liberty Announcement for 5th Grade - Lets talk camp! On Tuesday September 10th at 6pm there will be a parent meeting for Camp Tecumseh. This will be at Liberty in the MPR.
Last Friday, the Liberty staff and students participated in their annual Kick-Off Assembly. Students learned about what it means to be part of Team Liberty and the expectations set forth to help achieve excellence. Students and staff competed in fun games to help show that we're all part of Team Liberty. Of course, the teachers dominated the competitions but were great sports in supporting our students. What a great way to start of 2019-2020!!! Go Tigers!




Just a reminder to parents as the school year has started moving along. Due to district policy, we do not celebrate birthdays at school. For example, no treats, goodie bags, invitations etc. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Have a wonderful holiday weekend! No school on Monday!!! Picture day is September 18th, forms have been sent home. We have extra forms in the office, if needed.
Congratulations to Carter Wolf on winning the back to school DARE raffle. Carter received some pretty cool gear from SRO Garcia!
