Over the weekend, we had some Eagles doing very well at our regional science fair. So if you see these students, be sure to congratulate them.

Liz Orimaye - 2nd place Behavioral Science

Rahul Awasthi - 2nd place Engineering

Ethan Coleman - 1st place Plant Science, Exceptional scientific achievement in the natural world award, 4th place overall (2nd alternate for ISEF)

The fair this year was the most competitive that it has ever been with nearly 50 different projects in the high school division. Because of the growth of science research across the state, Missouri is actually putting on their first state-level competition ever, which all of these students have qualified for. So they will have another opportunity to earn a spot at the prestigious international ISEF competition.

We had a record-breaking year for choir over the weekend - out of 27 Vocal Events, 23 received "Exemplary" (gold) and will be moving on to State in April! The other four events received "Outstanding" (silver).

• LHS does NOT allow student food delivery during the school day.

• To ensure a smooth and timely pickup during lunch, we kindly ask that parents and guardians remind their students to meet them in the main office.

Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated.

• Remember to report a student's absence via email attendance.liberty@wsdr4.org.

• Focus custom notifications directions.
