Liberty Weekly Update

📅 Viking Pride

As we head into the final week of school, there are so many exciting activities and celebrations planned for our students! From field days and classroom events to end-of-year celebrations, it will be a fun-filled week full of great memories. While we enjoy these special moments together, we will also continue working hard and finishing the school year strong. Thank you for all of your support throughout the year—we are looking forward to an amazing last week at Liberty Elementary!

🏫 Pick-Up Drop Off Procedure

Just a few friendly reminders to keep our drop off line moving in the mornings:

If you are the first car along the curb, please pull all the way up to the first blue cone. Students should use the entire sidewalk between the cones to exit vehicles.
Your child should remain in your vehicle until the bell rings at 9:00 am.
Parents should not park and walk through the parking lot. If your child needs help opening the car door, one of the staff members outside will help.
If your child has a snack/treat/or extra things to carry, please do not park. Come through the line and a staff member will help him/her.
Please have your child seated on the passenger side of the vehicle so he/she can exit closest to the sidewalk.
Remind your child to walk on the sidewalk near the cones and not the parking lot after he/she exits your vehicle.
The tardy bell rings at 9:15, your child should be in the building before the bell rings.
During pick up time please be courteous of others. Our preschool parents park and do come up to get their child so please be courteous of them in the parking lot.
Please make sure that your child knows what things they need to get out before they enter in the morning for the detectors.

🚌 Transportation

Some buses have rolled out with seat belts. Please remind your child that they are to wear their seat belt. Students need to also be in their assigned seat as well.

Weapon Detectors

Our students have done an excellent job learning how to go through the weapons detectors each morning. With practice and patience, the process has gone very smoothly, and we have been able to get all students into the building before 9:15 each day. Much of this success is thanks to the support from our families in helping students be prepared each morning. Thank you for your continued support as we work together to keep our school safe!

5th Grade Camp

We had an amazing three days at camp filled with fun, learning, and unforgettable memories! Our students did a fantastic job representing Liberty Elementary and truly embraced every experience. Throughout camp, students enjoyed singing songs around the campfire, going on a night hike, making candles, bird watching, cooking fry bread, and learning important fire-building and survival skills. It was wonderful to see students step outside their comfort zones, build friendships, and create lasting memories together!

1st Grade Field Trip

Camp Skeeter was a huge success, and our 1st graders had an amazing week at Liberty Elementary!

It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces as students learned, explored, and made great memories together!

2nd Grade Zoo Trip

Our second grade students had an amazing time at the zoo! It was exciting for many students to see the animals they had researched and completed projects on come to life right in front of them. The trip provided a fun and memorable hands-on learning experience, and students enjoyed exploring, learning about different animals, and making lasting memories with their classmates.

3rd Grade Visiting Harding Home

Our third grade students had a wonderful opportunity to stay close to home while exploring local history through a visit to the Harding Museum and the Harding Home. Students enjoyed learning about President Warren G. Harding, touring the historic home, and experiencing history in a hands-on and engaging way. It was a great experience that helped bring their learning to life while creating lasting memories with classmates.
