Each month Liberty staff recognize each other for going "Above and Beyond" in some way in our school and with our students. Parents are encouraged to print off the "Above and Beyond" award and drop it by our office. We also have forms available in the office. It is always so great to be able to be recognized and I am sure the staff would be so appreciative of parent comments. Thanks.
