Family Edition
Week of the Patriot
Dear Patriot Families,
Thank you for such a great turn out for our middle school preview nights! Evenings at both schools were well attended and there was such an exciting energy present! We are looking forward to a great year ahead next year with schools working closely together for our students!
We have lots of events taking place in the next two weeks! We are looking forward to our Band, Orchestra and Chorus concerts! You won't want to miss these productions that will allow our students to showcase their hard work for the year!
Patriot Games will be taking place this Friday and we will be having a SPIRIT week all week as we lead up to Friday! Pay attention to the Spirit Day flyer below that will describe each day's theme!
Awards Ceremonies will take place next week and rather than have one event at night that recognizes a limited number of students, we are planning to have a ceremony for each team that takes place during the school day so all students can attend. This will allow teachers and students to celebrate the work of their team in a more personal way. The schedule is below. We welcome parents to join us in person or through a live link. We will also save the link so that families can watch at a later time, as well. Teams will push these links out at the end of the week.
We look forward to finishing strong and celebrating the end of a great year!
Sincerely,
Holly Flora, Principal

These students were Emmet Chandler, Nahum Tadesse, and Evan Brown. A GREAT BIG THANKS to everyone involved with making this wonderful new library for our students at Liberty Bell.
Students can borrow books from the outdoor library and return them when they finish.
Students may also donate books to the Read and Return Library. Please drop off book donations to Ms. Loudermilk in the library.
