The second Monday in October is a U.S. holiday celebrating the discovery of the New World. Discoverer’s Day, also known as Columbus Day, acknowledges Christopher Columbus’ finding of America, as well as the other important early explorers that came after him. Additional notable voyagers include Lewis and Clark, James Cook, Henry Hudson, and Amerigo Vespucci.
From October 1-27, we’re asking students to participate in our Candy Drive by bringing candy to school. The class with the most candy by weight will win a party. All candy will be used for Trunk or Treat Night on October 31.
If you donate to Liberty Traditional by April 16, 2018, you can subtract your donation from what you owe the state on your 2017 tax return. Individuals can donate up to $200, joint filers can donate up to $400. It’s a win-win!
For the anti-bullying assembly, Heroes in Waiting, on October 10, students can dress as their favorite superhero. For Team Player Day, on October 13, students can wear the jersey of their favorite team.
From September 27 to October 13, donate your unwanted items by dropping them in the blue Goodwill bins on campus. Part of the cash value will go to Liberty, and the other part will go toward helping Arizona’s unemployed. Who knew your junk could do so much?
Fall begins every year on the day of the autumnal equinox. Typically, this event takes place on September 22 or 23. This year, the equinox will happen on September 22 at 1:02 p.m. MST.

Parents will do anything for their children. So, it should come as no surprise that when children are agonizing over nightly homework assignments, parents are eager to alleviate the pain by offering their help. This raises several questions: What are the best ways to help kids with homework, and how much help is too much?
Liberty parents and students are invited to join us for free ice cream at the Family Ice Cream Social on August 16 at 4 p.m. for grades K-3, and on August 18 at 4 p.m. for grades 4-8.
