It may be raining outside, but this learner brings the sunshine to Liberty! She goes above & beyond at recess to make sure others feel included, valued, and seen. Her kindness is intentional, and her character shines through. Thankful she is one of ours! #GoodNewsCallOfTheDay
Doing the right thing isn't always the popular thing! This learner showed incredible courage by speaking up for a peer when it mattered most. His loyalty, empathy, and willingness to stand up for others are what true character is all about. Appreciate him! #GoodNewsCallOfTheDay
Mrs. Crandall, from our ELC program, nominated this learner for her incredible kindness! A classmate needed extra encouragement, so she wrote him a note reminding him he could do it, and helped him along the way. What a wonderful example of compassion! #GoodNewsCallOfTheDay
Jordan Mertes demonstrates our Core Values of Community and Integrity by being a steady, positive presence at Liberty Elementary as we implement changes in math instruction and literacy systems.

For three years, HSD elementary schools have turned their cafeterias into themed experiences during National School Lunch Week, competing for the Golden Apple Trophy and a year of bragging rights.
This year’s theme was “Cafeteria Circus,” and Liberty Elementary took the crown! 🎉 Staff built an interactive Broccoli Man photo spot from cereal boxes and crafted a ringmaster and strongman from empty milk cartons, bringing the circus to life while promoting healthy choices.
Way to go, Liberty! Enjoy the bragging rights until next year. 🎪🍎🏆

This young lady received TWO nominations for a #GoodNewsCallOfTheDay – (1) for showing kindness & integrity by picking up some garbage in the lunchroom, and (2) for being an exceptional friend to peers making sure they're getting the help they need. Let's go!!!
Don't let the black eye fool you! This learner isn't just tough, he's all heart! He brings kindness, patience, and a smile to every interaction. His ability to listen, show respect, and give his best effort makes him a joy to be around! His mom agreed! #GoodNewsCallOfTheDay
We mustache you a question... who’s been working hard AND looking out for others? This learner! He’s making great strides, taking pride in his work, and helping classmates without being asked. Now THAT is some growth worth celebrating! #GoodNewsCallOfTheDay
Mrs. Enebo is SO APPRECIATIVE of this young lady and her heart for taking care of others. One example: a friend got hurt on the playground & she took extra care to make sure her friend was okay and got to the nurse. Love seeing kids show so much compassion! #GoodNewsCallOfTheDay
