Mark your calendars for our Fall Festival on Friday, October 30th, in the north parking lot (bus lot) at Liberty Oaks Elementary!

Calling All Business Owners: Silent Auction Donations Needed
Our Fall Festival silent auction is one of our most popular fundraisers, and we need your help to make it a success! If you own a business or know a business owner who'd like to donate a basket of items, a gift card, service, or experience, please email Nicole Wilson at lolionsPTA@gmail.com. Every donation supports our school and helps showcase the local businesses that make our community great. Thank you for your support!

Technology Information
Protect Your Student’s Device and Avoid Costly Repairs
Families are encouraged to purchase Device Protection for just $25 per year—and there is no cost for students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
With Device Protection, accidental damage claims are $40 per incident ($20 for free/reduced lunch students), and lost or stolen devices have a $100 claim fee.
Without Device Protection, families are responsible for the full cost of repairs or replacement. For example, replacing a damaged iPad screen can cost approximately $150.
Device Protection is an affordable way to be protected from unexpected repair expenses. More information can be found on the Technology FAQ site.
