Liberty Traditions

See dates for this year's events on the LEAF Facebook Page and the Liberty Facebook Page!

    Family Fridays

    Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

    Family Fridays

    Four times each school year, on half-days, Liberty invites students to bring a family member or other beloved adult to school. It's a chance to see the great work our kids are doing, meet the faculty and your fellow Liberty families, and join our children for activities in the classroom.

    Castles

    Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

    Family Fridays

    Every fall, students are assigned a "castle" comprised of students from every grade level. The students learn about character traits (grit, confidence, determination, curiosity, creativity, integrity, and honesty) and work together to display these traits and earn points for their castles. More info in this LEAF newsletter story (see pg. 4).
