Director's Message
Dear Patriot Families,
As February comes to a close, I want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible moments we’ve shared as a school community this past month.
We kicked off February by recognizing our students' hard work with Honor Roll and Core Virtues awards, celebrating their achievements and dedication. We are so proud of their efforts! Our Candy Grams Fundraiser was a great success, with our Student Ambassadors raising nearly $600 to support their initiatives—thank you for your generosity and support!
This month also brought excitement in the form of hands-on learning and winter fun! Our 4th Grade Science Fair was a huge success, with students showcasing their impressive experiments and discoveries. And, of course, all grade levels got to experience a little winter magic as we made the most of the brief snowfall! ❄️☃️
We ended the month on a high note with our first-ever Elementary School Dance for K-5, where students made wonderful memories with friends and teachers. Thank you to all who helped make this event special!
Looking ahead to March, we are excited for another month filled with enriching experiences. We will be hosting our annual Book Fair, a great opportunity for students to explore new stories and foster a love of reading. In celebration of literacy, we will also take part in Read Across America Week, featuring engaging activities and guest readers. To wrap up the month, we look forward to our Spring Festival, where families can come together to enjoy a fun-filled event on campus.
Thank you for your continued support and engagement in our school community. We look forward to all that March has in store!
Go Patriots!

Libertas Highlights
FeBruary was filled with excitement, joy, and incredible achievements at Libertas! Here are some of the amazing moments we celebrated this month.
Our youngest learners had the opportunity to learn about both fiction and nonfiction, kings, queens, and royal families to build their understanding of responsibilities and customs associated with royalty throughout history. To end their unit, they celebrated in royal fashion with a magical event fit for royalty in their second annual Kings and Queens Ball! Dressed in crowns and gowns, they learned about manners, leadership, and the importance of kindness while enjoying a day of fun and celebration.
Love and kindness were in the air as we raised over $600 through our Student Ambassador sponsored Valentine’s Day Candy Gram fundraiser! It was truly incredible seeing all the smiles and love shared throughout, not only our school, but our community.
A huge round of applause for our 4th grade students who participated in our first-ever Science Fair where they modeled, displayed, and presented on common natural disasters. Their creativity and scientific thinking were on full display as they presented their projects and experiments to peers, teachers, presents, and community members. We are so proud of their hard work and enthusiasm!
In first grade, students were introduced to fairy tales that have been favorites for generations, including “Sleeping Beauty,” “Rumpelstiltskin,” “The Frog Prince,” “Hansel and Gretel,” and “Jack and the Beanstalk.” Students learned about the Brothers Grimm, identified common elements of fairy tales, considered problems and solutions, made interpretations, and compared and contrasted different tales, all leading up to their Celebration of Learning, where they had an amazing day with fairytale themed activities, snacks, and dress up.
Students had a blast participating in one of the most beloved fundraisers at Libertas, “Principal for a Day”, where lucky winners got to step into the principal’s shoes for a day! From helping with special duties to monitoring the halls, our mini principals did a fantastic job leading the school.
Our “Forever My Hero” Dance was truly a night to remember! Families dressed up, danced the night away, and created beautiful memories together. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make it such a special event!
