Last year, 5th grade students at Liberty in Mrs. Laskey's and Mrs. Wilkie's science classes have benefited from the ESP Energy grant. The Energizing Student Potential Program is designed to infuse energy into the STEM classroom. The STEM project was centered around hydroponics. The students grew plants from seeds in water. While the hydroponic system was successful, we never saw vegetables. Students took home the plants and these two girls returned this fall with the fruits of our labor. ESP is sponsored by: The Exelon Foundation, ComEd, Pepco, Nicor Gas, Peoples and North Shore Gas, and BP.

Liberty 6th graders are team building to enhance their collaboration skills and work on being Incredible in all that they do.
We’ve received several calls asking if we are dismissing early due to the heat. Our District has A.C, so dismissal times are normal. Thanks.
