Dear LRE Families,
I am so pleased to announce that we have a new Assistant Principal for the 2023-2024 school year! Please join me in welcoming Sarah Thompson, below is a message from her!
-Julana Hardtke
Principal, Liberty Ridge Elementary
I am excited to announce that I will be the new Assistant Principal of Liberty Ridge. My family and I live in Bonney Lake. I am honored to have the opportunity to help lead a school with such persevering students, an extremely dedicated staff, and a supportive school community. I feel very fortunate to be part of this school and to support the staff, students, and families.
I have been dedicated to education for more than ten years. I have worked with students ranging in age from Kindergarten through 6th grade in various roles. I have been a first, third, and fourth-grade classroom teacher. I was also Dean of Students at Wilkeson Elementary. I am thrilled to bring my skills as an educator and leader to Liberty Ridge Elementary School and work with you as an educational partner.
I view education as a life-long process and expect to continue to learn much about the uniqueness of Liberty Ridge this year and in the years to come. I am excited to unite my experience and child-centered approach to support our students. I believe that the relationships between teachers, administrators, and families are vital to the success of our students and school. I am beyond excited to meet all of you.
-Sarah Thompson
