Director's Message
Dear Patriot Families,
As we wrap up a memorable October, I want to take a moment to celebrate all the exciting achievements and experiences that have made this month so special for our school community.
October was filled with remarkable milestones. We are incredibly proud to share that Libertas Academy was honored with two significant awards: the Culture of Excellence Award and the Year One Trailblazer Award. These recognitions highlight the hard work and dedication of our entire community—students, staff, and families alike—toward building an environment of excellence and growth.
We also enjoyed a month packed with fun and learning! Red Ribbon Week brought out our school spirit as we focused on making healthy choices together. Our younger students went on memorable field trips: our kindergarteners explored Strawberry Hill, discovering the world of farming, while our third graders ventured to Roper Mountain Science Center, diving into hands-on science learning. In addition, many of our grade levels held Celebrations of Learning, where students proudly shared what they’ve accomplished so far this year.
As we head into November, we do so with a spirit of gratitude—for our amazing students, dedicated families, and the joy of learning we all share. Thank you for being such an important part of our journey.
Go Patriots!
