Congratulations to our Patriot Pride winners for the week of September 12: Lyan Basout, Ethan Rapaj, Claire Basiorka, Daniel Sosa, Lena Haberny, Isabella Martinez
We've had a great week her at Liberty. It was great to visit so many classrooms. Learning is in full swing everywhere you look. It was exciting to see all of our children with a new book from the library in their hands. Reading is an adventure and a great way to keep growing. Thank you to Ms. Loizon for leading kids to great reads in our new library.
MAP testing is going well. We began this week with MAP Reading. Next week on Tuesday and Wednesday we will be diving in to MAP Math. In the upcoming weeks we will be letting you know how to access your student's scores.
Today was picture day at Liberty. The kids looked great! There will be a retake day on October 19 for any child who was absent and for anyone wanting to participate in a retake. More information is forthcoming.

The online Liberty Spirit Wear shop is now open. Please take a look at the great Liberty gear that is available and show off your Patriot Pride!
ATTENTION all Choir, Band and Orchestra Students and families!!!
Music Parents East is starting off the year with a popsicle party!!
Come and enjoy a popsicle in the Jerling commons Tuesday September 20th from 4:00-4:45pm. We will be accepting membership at that time as well. We highly encourage all families to be members of the association. Being a member doesn’t require any commitment— you can be involved as much or as little as you wish, but it does allow us to give the music program things they are in need of or provide fun opportunities for the students.
Looking forward to seeing familiar faces, meeting new ones and starting off the year on a great note!
*Each music student will receive a free popsicle and siblings/families can enjoy for $1.00 each.
We also have our September MPE meeting after at 5:00pm ~ you are always welcome to join the meetings and see what we are planning and what is happening with MPE.
