Thank you Mrs. Hafferty

Dhwani Porecha, Editorial Board Member December 20, 2019

Caring. Dedicated. Passionate. Those are only a few of the many incredible words to describe Mrs. Hafferty.  She is one of the most enthusiastic math teachers I've ever had. She truly cares about the...

Cafeteria breakfast holds me back from the brink of tears

Elise Sickinger, Backpage Editor December 20, 2019

Many a school day I, Elise Patricia Sickinger, find myself eating breakfast in a hurry: I’ll be famished leaving my house, speeding down my hill at 50 miles per hour, running a stop sign or two, and...

Jazzin’ it up in jazz

Lilianne Harris, Beat Editor December 20, 2019

I am the worst musician in jazz band, and I love it. See, usually people know how to play their instrument when joining an audition-only group; I learned trombone in the month before auditioning. Even...

Custodial Staff

Allison Stucky, Entertainment Editor December 20, 2019

Walking out of the lunch room, hurrying to class, heaps of trash left behind, spread across tables -- it’s a disappointing sight. Often, students pay no mind to the food remnants and wrappers. But an...

Thank you Mrs. Munson

Naomi Sato, Staff Writer December 20, 2019

Ms. Michelle Munson. Possibly one of the most influential figures at Liberty. Why? She’s the ASB coordinator and leadership 101 teacher.  But that’s not all.  She’s a leader, a friend,...

Movie Wednesdays

Nick Vanni, Beyond Liberty Editor December 20, 2019

On Wednesdays during the winter season, you may walk home from school and oddly notice the indistinguishable sound of Lion King’s Circle of Life playing from our stadium’s loudspeakers. You remember...

Thank you Mrs. Foote

Margaret Baumgartner, Sports Editor December 20, 2019

From tampons and hair ties to talking about life Kelsey Foote is there for you. Despite me never having her as a teacher she has always been there for me and is a teacher who is there for students, whether...

Bus Drivers

Madeline Parrish, Staff Writer December 20, 2019

Nobody likes getting up in the morning. The dreadful alarm, the freezing cold air, the struggle of opening even just one eye--but it all becomes worth it when greeted by your friendly neighborhood bus...

Ms. Garcia

Elizabeth Yan, Editorial Board Member December 20, 2019

Sometimes, I think about my ninth grade year and feel regret wash over me. As a freshman, I was too naive to fully appreciate Señora Garcia. I was too young to realize that one day, Spanish 2 would end,...
