Our 6th graders wrapped up their Ancient China unit with a hands-on project—Panda Calligraphy! They had the opportunity to learn and practice writing their names in Chinese, which was easier said than done! However, their hard work paid off, and the results were absolutely wonderful.
Great job, 6th grade! #TheLMSWay

Liberty Eagles take on the Ava Bears tonight at 6 pm, reminder Hoop Queen will be Monday V Couch, we only had 1 home game left and that was Thayer on Senior Night. The girls were originally scheduled away tonight, and that had to be changed because of McDonald County and a conflict.
For the shootout tomorrow the admission will be $5.00 for adults and $3.00 for students. We will do a hand stamp or ticket so you can come and go. Liberty will play 4 total games tomorrow. We will also honor SCA passes as well as employees are in for free, but just the employee on this.

Awesomeness Alert!!! We just have to share something awesome from Mrs. Wilbanks' 8th-grade math class! She introduced functions in the most creative way—with a Function Auction! Students learned what functions are while managing budgets and bidding on function lots. It was incredible to see them so engaged and having fun with learning. Way to go, Mrs. Wilbanks! #TheLMSway
Girls head to Houston tonight to play the Tigers at 6 pm. Lady Eagles are 12-7 on the season. Good luck tonight!!
Often when athletic directors see "You have a special report" on the MSHSAA site it is usually a bad thing, but this one wasn't. A big shout out to coaches Smith and Tipton for a positive MSHSAA school to school report from Cabool High School. Cabool had a rough situation on Monday with sickness and injuries, they still played us despite being short handed. According to the report we displayed great sportsmanship and rotated girls in and out during the game.

Boys at home tonight in a big SCA matchup with Willow, JV starts at 6 pm varsity to follow.
At the January board meeting, the Board of Education adopted the calendar for the 2025-2026 school year. Several parents, staff, students, and community members completed a survey which helped us determine that a week-long Spring Break was preferred over a week-long Thanksgiving Break. We added a 1/2 day for Homecoming back to the calendar. Our last day of school will be a 1/2 day. We will begin the school year on August 18, 2025, and end the school year on May 22, 2026.

BTE kicked off Literacy Week with a virtual author visit with Nick Bruel. The kids were so excited as the Bad Kitty series is one of their favorites! Nick read a part of his newest Bad Kitty book. He also showed the kids how to draw Bad Kitty. While drawing Bad Kitty, Nick also talked about how by just adding or changing one thing on Kitty’s face changes her feelings. We also learned that 2025 is Bad Kitty’s 20th Anniversary!
