Liberty Common families and grandparents who have attended previous
Grandparents Day events and filled-out informational table cards at those 
events should have received their invitations for Grandparents Day 2014.
This portion of the newsletter is also a reminder and 'save the date' notice for those families who may have family coming from out of town and would like them to attend!
If you do not receive an invitation, please visit our Grandparents Day Webpage as an open invitation to all grandparents of Liberty Common students.
Please read the content of the page for lots of information about the day and check the FAQ section to see if your questions can be answered there.
Parental families of Liberty Common students who receive an invitation should
share the invitation with their childrens' grandparents if they have not been able
to add their addresses to our Grandparents Day mailing list.
We ask that if grandparents cannot attend, parents do not come in their place.
We do not have the capacity to host every parent plus grandparents. Please
allow this to be a special day for grandparents and grandchildren.
Grandparents Day 2014 promises to be the best event yet! At the elementary
school, grandparents will be treated to a fantastic, home made breakfast that
is a recipe of a fellow Liberty Common grandparent, as well as performances
by students, and a chance to visit their grandchildren's classrooms, meet the
wonderful Liberty Common teachers, and get a grand tour of the fantastic
school given with pride by their own grandchildren.
At the secondary school, grandparents will be treated to some afternoon
snacks and performances by the amazingly talented students as well as get
to tour of the newly expanded, beautiful building and classrooms as well as
experience some interaction with the amazing teachers at this exceptional
educational institution.
Grandparents who are able to attend should not miss this wonderful experience
to spend a wonderful morning and/or afternoon with their bright, excited, and
proud grandchildren. Liberty Common staff, teachers, administration, the
Grandparents Day Planning Committee and all of the students look forward to
hosting people who are so special to the lives of the Liberty kids!
This event cannot exist without the support of parent volunteers. The Grandparents Day Planning Committee is still seeking volunteers to help the evening before the event beginning at 5pm in the elementary gym to set up seating, tables, and decor. Also needed are volunteers to help the day of the event anywhere from 7am am to 11:00am. The high school is seeking volunteers to help from noon until 3:30pm.
If you would be interested in helping make this wonderful, unique event a smooth
success, please use this SignUp Genius page to secure your spot!

If your child is a sibling of a student currently enrolled in Liberty, and will be attending kindergarten in the 2015-2016 school year, please make sure that they are on the sibling waiting list. We will begin running the lottery for the general public on January 26, 2015.
Pink Bags are back! Gala planning and preparations are underway, and we've filled pink bags with projects that are simple to complete. Most of the projects can be done at home. All the supplies and instructions are included in each bag. Many hands make light work! Visit the front office to check out your Pink Bag Project today!
In an effort to keep students safe during drop-off and pick-up times, please refrain from using cell phones. The front, middle and back drop-off and pick-up areas are designated NO CELL PHONE AREAS. 
Please remember that the front office is an office of business and the use of cell phones is prohibited. We also ask that conversations be kept to a minimum so that front office staff can provide quality customer service to students, staff members and other parents. Thank you. 
On Friday, November 7th, several junior high team members competed in the Puma Pride Invitational at Preston Middle School. 
It is interesting how many of us look to our parents as heroes. Growing up I looked to my mother and father as indestructible super heroes able to solve any problem. And they kind of did. It is human nature to look to the eldest since they are the wisest through their extensive experience, perseverance, and knowledge.
One of the things I do each year when addressing our grandparents, is thank them for instilling the importance of an incredible education when raising their children (you). Here at Liberty, we operate under the principle that it is the parent's right and responsibility to direct the education and upbringing of their children. Every time Mr. Schaffer and I host a public information night, we congratulate perspective parents for learning about an education that meets the needs of their child. For many of you, this all started with your parents, the masters.
