Thank you Mrs. Werre

Caitlyn Croppi, News Editor December 20, 2019

Her title is Counseling Secretary but Jeanette Werre is the mom to anyone at Liberty. A warm friendly smile greeting anyone who crosses her path, treats and warm hugs galore, a plentiful supply of kleenex,...

Thank you Mrs. Wood

Emma Decasa, Editorial Board Member December 20, 2019

“Sing your heart out.” Some people may recall this as an old quote found on some cheesy home decor frame but for Mrs. Robin Wood, this saying is the embodiment of her life.  Despite having spent...

Thank you DECA

Sylvie Cao, Managing Editor December 20, 2019

One of the biggest lies I used to tell people was that my worst fear was arachnophobia--fear of spiders. It’s not a completely false statement; after all, I cried in seventh grade when my best friend...

The Library: an underappreciated sanctuary

Kaitlyn Keyes, Photography Editor December 20, 2019

I’ve been a bookworm my entire life. While other kids played video games when they were younger, I read.  So, as a connoisseur in finding places to read, I can 100 percent inform you that Liberty’s...

Thank you Mr. Thruelsen

Olivia Briggs, Editorial Board Member December 20, 2019

The day’s been hard. You’ve already had chem and ap world today, and going to algebra 2 does not sound inviting. You drag your feet through the door only to be greeted by a loud “Hello!”. You...

Late Start Wednesdays

Aurora Bryan, Editorial Board Member December 20, 2019

Late start Wednesdays really don’t get the recognition they deserve. School is tiring and I honestly don’t know if I would be able to get through the week if there wasn’t that perfectly placed, mini-break...

The Library

Hannah Kim, Editorial Board Member December 20, 2019

As a kid, I always enjoyed going to the library and checking out books, but I never realized how much I appreciated having a space to learn and indulge myself into a good book. Now, as a high school student...

8-period schedule

Matthew Rubenstein, Online Editor December 20, 2019

While Liberty is better than Skyline and Issaquah High School in a variety of ways, one advantage that stands out above the rest is our unique 8-period block schedule. It’s a perk of our school that...

Thank you Mrs. Lee

Amelia Nored, Editorial Board Member December 20, 2019

“Good luck! I know you guys are going to do amazing.” These are the words biology and lab methods teacher Mrs. Lee says before handing out every test and quiz. The simple words of encouragement...

Thank you Cheer Coaches

Rachel Matteson, News Editor December 20, 2019

Julie Hicks and Camille Wright, the Liberty Cheer coaches, are the best driving forces for a cheerleader. Julie Hicks, the JV coach, is a fun, compassionate leader. She is always lighthearted and makes...

Thank you Issaquah School District

Ella Gage, News Editor December 20, 2019

Did you know that we go to one of the best public schools possible?  It’s easy to forget how lucky we are to live where we live and go to school where we do. It’s strange to think we live in a...

Spirit days keep the stress away

Kaitlyn Keyes, Photography Editor December 20, 2019

You’re walking down the hall and you pass Tigger, Pikachu, and Sully from Monsters Inc. But you’re not in Disneyland--you’re in Liberty and it's pajama day!  Spirit days at Liberty are a breath...
