Thank you, Mrs. Cooke

Sydney Dybing November 19, 2013

I don’t give myself very many breaks. I often stay up ridiculously late to get my homework done, and part of the reason I’ve been able to remain sane so far in this school year is because of my seventh...

Good job, band

Shannon Heckt November 19, 2013

Being that it is my senior year, I have found that I value each day of band class more and more as it comes closer to my last. I started playing the trumpet in sixth grade, as did many students tried to...

Thanks Mrs. Cooke!

Jeremy Stroming November 19, 2013

Perhaps my friends in journalism will consider it treasonous, but this Thanksgiving, I am thankful for Yearbook ringleader Amy Cooke. In truth, I only know her in the context of European History and American...

Thank you, providers of a clean cafeteria

Trevor Sytsma November 18, 2013

During the last five minutes of our beloved lunch period, they roll garbage and recycle bins around the room, friendly grins on their faces, and stop at each individual table to dispose of our half-eaten...

The joy of having wednesday mornings

Stephanie Hays November 18, 2013

Wednesday’s are the best day of the school week. They are a time to catch up on sleep or do some extra homework; they are a time to hang out with friends before school and be refreshed for the school...

Career Center: A hidden gem for all

Kalie Murphy November 18, 2013

A time to celebrate memories, not material goods

Grant Rayfield November 18, 2013

While many people claim that Christmas (or other forms of December celebration) is the most joyful time of the year, I find this statistic a slight bit depressing.  Don’t get me wrong, the spirit of...

I’m thankful for those free-seating teachers

Taylor Jackson November 18, 2013

Every September is the same: you walk into class and frantically look around for someone—anyone—that you know. And when you do find that someone, you realize that, hey, maybe the class won’t be so...

Liberty’s band: playing their way into our hearts

Lorrin Johnson November 18, 2013

Each year the drill team participates in Salmon Days as a part of the parade, and each year Liberty’s band is right alongside us. I’ve always appreciated the band in the same way every other Liberty...

Patriot power

Kendall Isner November 18, 2013

This year, Patriots have taken school spirit to another level at Liberty, while strengthening our community.  Not only is attendance higher than ever at football or girls’ soccer games, but tailgating...

Thank you to the magnificent traveling improv improver

Sami Beers November 18, 2013

Today our school has a quickly growing improv club called the I.M.PROv players; which is something that I would not be able to say without the dedication and support of one Hannah Fry. In my junior...

Altruism at Liberty

Mackenna Briggs November 18, 2013

“We are one” is a phrase we hear all around Liberty all the time. We all believe we follow what this phrase entails – that as a student body and school, we should be accepting of all, supporting...
