Today, our 8th Liberty students investigated how mass, ramp incline, and even the shape/design of a toy car impact motion and distance! They had to identify the dependent and independent variables of the science lab.They built ramps, tested different cars, and measured the effects of mass. It was a hands-on exploration of how all these factors work together to affect motion.

What an incredible day at the CMEA Choir Festival! Our talented Liberty choir students traveled to Visalia First Presbyterian Church today. They sang three songs, Deo Dicamis Gratias, Clever Chameleon and Riversong. Choir received an Excellent rating. After months of hard work, practice, and dedication, they shone brightly and represented our school so well. We are so proud of their growth and commitment to excellence.

Congratulations to Mrs. Deena Mathers, our amazing school psychologist, for being recognized as Administrator of the Year! She was honored at the district board meeting today, and we couldn't be more proud.

Yesterday, the Red Band performed at the CMEA Concert Band Festival at Redwood High School's LJ Williams Theater, where they were judged by top music educators, including Dr. Gary Gilroy from Fresno State. Their goal was to earn a unanimous superior rating, which requires scores of 90+ from all three judges and a superior in sight reading. The students received scores of 91, 92, and 93, plus a superior in sight reading. They were also commended for their professionalism and focus. Congratulations to the students on a job well done! You can catch them and our other LUESD bands at the pancake breakfast tomorrow!

Some of our Liberty ASB students visited Freedom Elementary to read aloud to Ms. Lopez's T-K class, and they had a wonderful time. They read stories to the younger students, sparking excitement and a love for reading. It was a heartwarming experience that not only helped build connections between the schools but also encouraged the joy of reading in the youngest learners. This was a great reminder of how reading can bring people of all ages together! Thank you, Freedom Elementary School, for hosting us and making this special event possible.

Read Across America Week was a fun and creative celebration of reading! As part of the festivities, Mrs. Yang hosted a DIY bookmark contest where students showed off their artistic skills. The bookmarks the students created were absolutely amazing, reflecting both their love for books and their creativity. Emerald Khaing and Melanie Valdez won a gift card to Dutch Bros for their amazing designs.

They explored the exhibits with enthusiasm, engaged in hands-on learning, and shared lots of excitement throughout the day. It was a memorable experience that not only sparked their curiosity but also showed their maturity and ability to stay positive, no matter the challenges.
