Excellence of Public Education”

Dear Liberty
Families,
Welcome back to the 2020/2021 school year. Unfortunately due
to the unpredictable circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, the school year is
looking to be vastly different from years past. As a Foundation our goal still
remains the same, to support and enrich the educational environment and
experience for our students and staff. The Foundation is prepared to help
support in any way we are able to over the next coming months and while that
support may be unknown at this time we are ready and prepared to lend wherever
it is needed.
Understandably the Foundation is unable to hold any of our
traditional events for at least the remainder of the 2020 year. We will be
evaluating conditions along the way to determine if some of our 2021 winter and
spring events will still be able to take place.
Over the years the Foundation has received an incredible
amount of donations from Liberty families with our yearly Membership drive, the
Walk-a-Thon and other various events. Due to these donations the Foundation has
accumulated a surplus of funds that have been designated to help support the
school in a bigger way or in a time of need. Due to this surplus, for the
2020/2021 Foundation Membership drive we are asking for only a donation of $5
to become a member. In the years past we have left this amount up to the
individual families and this year we would like to relieve the pressure of
feeling the need to contribute in a deeper capacity. We wish you all well and
look forward to seeing everyone back on campus in the near future.
Sincerely,
The Liberty
School Foundation
