Principal's Message

As we begin wrapping up the school year, there is still so much to look forward to at Liberty! We are excited for our upcoming end-of-year music performances, the NJHS ceremony, and our Track & Field Championship as we celebrate the many talents, accomplishments, and growth of our students. These events are always highlights of the school year, and we look forward to celebrating together as a community.

As we enter these final weeks, I also want your support in encouraging our students to finish the year strong. Regular attendance, active participation in class, and completing end-of-year responsibilities remain incredibly important. Every day matters, and we appreciate your continued partnership in helping students stay focused and engaged through the very end of the school year.

In preparation for our end-of-year celebrations, we are also looking for volunteers and donations to help make these events special for our students. If you are interested in helping, please consider signing up on our volunteers and donations form.

Thank you for your continued support and for sharing your children with us each day. I am grateful to be part of the Liberty community.
