Director's Message
Dear Families,
April was an energetic and engaging month for our school community. We kicked things off with an exciting pep rally featuring Converse College athletes, setting a spirited tone for our students as they prepared for their upcoming MAP tests. Our community service initiative, Libertas Gives Back, enjoyed remarkable success, all thanks to the incredible generosity of our parents. Together, we provided essential support to retirees at Wesley Court Assisted Living by collecting and donating toiletries. Additionally, our Krispy Kreme fundraiser on April 29th was a triumph, contributing to the enhancement of our version of field day, the Olympics. Thank you for your unwavering support and dedication to our school community. We look forward to continuing our journey together as we finish the school year strong.
Go Patriots!
