First Ever "Hearts Together Blood Drive" at Liberty Elementary School, February 8
On February 8 from 8-2 PM, Carter Blood Care and the Big Bus will be here in the west parking lot for Liberty's first ever "Hearts Together" community blood drive. Winter has been especially hard on all the blood banks and supplies are critically low.
Please come out, spend a little time and give a pint to help restock supplies for Carter.

Winter Health Reminder
A healthy school environment requires the cooperation and effort of all of us working together. During this time of year, we tend to see a higher incidence of strep throat, stomach issues and yes, the flu and flu-like illnesses. Please remember that everyone can help protect themselves and their families from many of these airborne illnesses by following the "Habits For Good Health" recommended by the CDC:
- Cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze
- Stay home if you're sick with a fever, diarrhea or flu like symptoms and be 24 hours without a fever and without the aid of fever reducing medicine.
- Wash your hands often for at least 20 seconds.
- Try not to touch your mouth, nose or eyes. These are the gateways for viruses and bacteria.
It's Not Too Late!
February Is Dental Health Month
Look out 1st graders! There will be a special presentation for you on February 6!
National Children’s Dental Health Month is meant to raise awareness about the importance of oral health. Why is this type of celebration—and year-round attention to children’s dental health--important?
Despite the fact that it’s almost entirely preventable, tooth decay is the most common chronic disease in children. The good news is there are safe and effective preventive measures that can protect teeth.
