Welcome to Liberty's Smore Newsletter
We are headed toward April and Spring is easily the busiest time in a high school. Please enjoy all the information that staff provides me. Please keep Wednesday, April 18th on your calendar as that is our Spring Conference Night. We will run them just like the Winter Conferences from 4:15-6:45 in the grand commons with no appointment necessary.
Thank you
Scott
