We have a very exciting week coming up at LRE! On Monday we will be having our December leadership assembly where we will recognize students for showing our December character trait of Empathy. Monday evening our 4th and 5th grade basketball team will be playing in a jamboree. On Thursday our PTO is putting on a fun event at Catapult. Friday we will be having a sing along for students at the end of the day, our singalong will be at 2:15 and families are welcome. In addition to all of this fun, we have holiday spirit week next week (please see below for details) AND teachers have all kinds of fun celebrations going on in their classrooms. Have a wonderful weekend with your family-we can’t wait for a fun filled week before break!

• Thursday, 12/15/22
• The $21 cost per child is for 2 hours of jump time. When they pay the PTO via the flyer QR code, cash or check each child will get a 2 hour jump pass that can be used ANY time that day.
• Payment is due to the PTO by Friday December 9th so the PTO can pre-pay for the event and pick up the jump passes to be handed out the week of the event.
• Parents will have to pay Catapult $4.40 (with tax) for required safety socks.
• If families have Catapult memberships, they can make a simple $5 donation to the PTO and sign in to Catapult with their membership for the 2 hours of jump.
• Any questions regarding this event should go to the PTO. Their email is libertyridgepto@gmail.com
