Thunder Eagle News

Thunder Eagle Families!

Wow—what a year it’s been! Our first year of being apart of this amazing school community, we want to take a moment to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your support, encouragement, and partnerships have meant the world to us as we learned Thunder Eagle traditions, and celebrated the everyday magic that happens at Liberty Ridge.

From the first-day smiles to the last-day hugs, this year has been full of laughter, learning, and lasting memories. We’re so proud of how much our Thunder Eagle's have grown, and we feel incredibly lucky to be part of their journey.

As we head into summer, we hope you all find time to rest, recharge, and enjoy some well-deserved family fun. Whether you're adventuring near or far, or just soaking in the simple joys of summer, we hope your days are filled with sunshine and smiles.

We’re already excited for what next year will bring—more connections, more learning, and more opportunities to grow together. Until then, enjoy your break and know how grateful we are to be part of the Thunder Eagle Community!

Thank You for Joining Us at Celebration Night!

We want to extend thank you to all the families who joined us for Celebration Night! It was such a joy to see students and their loved ones exploring, laughing, and sharing special moments together. From engaging activities to meaningful conversations with teachers—and even a visit from the Mayor, Pierce County Sheriff, East Pierce Fire Department, LRE PTO, and many others —it was truly a night to remember. Your presence helped make the evening a celebration of our school community, and we are so grateful for your continued support! Please take a few minutes to give feedback about what you liked and ways we can improve!
