Bugging for Books at LE

How do you know Liberty Elementary is excited about students reading? Adults will do amazing and somewhat gross things to show they care. Mr. Chris Anderson, principal of Liberty Elementary, and Mrs. Rebbecca Mock, assistant principal of Liberty Elementary, did the unthinkable to show they support students reading. They each ate a cricket!

Not only did they eat a cricket, but so did two of the teachers on staff! Ms. Lela Stokes-Dickens and Mr. Justin Peterman also ate crickets.

Although crickets are reported to be crispy and high in protein, the little critters became snacks to celebrate the outstanding reading accomplishment of students. When challenged to read 4,000 books in three and a half days, students at Liberty Elementary met and surpassed the goal by reading a whopping 5,520 books!

Magic Moon Puppets Land at LE

May 15th was a magical day at Liberty Elementary. Students gathered close together in the media center to celebrate their accomplishments and enjoy the rewards of reaching their individualized reading goals.

This year, each child at Liberty Elementary had a personalized reading goal set by his or her teacher each nine weeks. Each nine weeks that students achieved their goals, they were treated to a special event.

The year-end event was a visit by the Magic Moon Puppets. Students laughed and enthusiastically interacted with the puppets during the show. The top reader from each classroom was also presented with with a racing/ reading t-shirt by Mr. Anderson. The two top readers for the school won a special gift basket.
