Birch Tree Elementary will be welcoming first-year teacher Mrs. Shawna Carkhuff. Mrs. Carkhuff will be joining the BTE team as a third-grade teacher. She is excited to teach in the same district she attended as a student years ago. She enjoys anything outdoors, being creative, and thrifting. Welcome to MVBT, Shawna!
Sarah Ernst will be joining Mountain View Elementary as a third-grade teacher. This is Mrs. Ernst’s twentieth year in education, and she is excited for her family to join the MVBT community! She is passionate about building relationships and looks forward to continuing this in her new position. Sarah loves decorating her home and serving others through party and event planning. Welcome to MVBT, Sarah!
The MVBT first-year teachers are learning together while attending the Beginning Teacher Assistance Program today. We are excited about having these five new educators in our district!
Here are the latest supply lists for MVBT. MVE 4th grade, please thank Champs Fitness for clearing your list! Another updated list will be posted next week to reflect any additional donations that we receive. (Jesus in the Park and Mercy St. Francis are collecting supplies, which are not yet reflected on these lists. We've also had a couple parents provide supplies, which are not yet reflected on these lists.) Check back on Friday, July 29th, for final supply lists. Businesses, if you are planning to participate and haven't notified Mrs. Tharp, please contact her by next Friday at 417-934-5408 or ltharp@liberty.mvbt.k12.mo.us. The participation from the communities of Mountain View and Birch Tree has been overwhelming! Thank you for helping MVBT meet the needs of all students.
The location of the July board meeting, held this evening at 6:00, will be in the Liberty Middle School library. It was originally scheduled to be held in the Liberty High School library.
Thank you, Simmons Bank!
We want to thank our communities for the awesome support they are showing the Liberty Eagles! As of today, several supplies have been marked off of the supply lists. If more donations are made, we will update the lists on FB and on our school website. These supplies will be delivered to classrooms before the first day of school. We hope to see everyone at the Back to School Kick-off on August 16 from 5:00-8:00 Several businesses, churches, and agencies will be set up around the track with several items and information for the students. You don't want to miss this!
School starts August 22!

Important change for K-8 Summer School students: The Willow Springs water park will not be open on our scheduled pool day due to unexpected circumstances. So, we will be going to the West Plains pool on Tuesday, June 28th from 9:00-11:00. We will also be going to the zoo in Springfield on Thursday, June 30.
We are allowing an Air Evac helicopter to land in our high school parking lot. This is unrelated to our school district. There have been no accidents or incidents at summer school and all staff and students are safe. We do not have any information regarding the situation.
Congratulations to the May recipients of Student of the Month at LMS!!

She is highly respected by her colleagues and her students. Mrs. Day, thank you for working tirelessly to be an awesome educator and making sure your students get what they need to succeed.
Summer school change: Incoming 6th grade students will attend summer school at LMS. MSHSAA is allowing 6th grade students to participate in middle school sports in the 2022-2023 season. Due to some sports related activities taking place during summer school, the 6th grade summer school class will be at LMS, not at MVE. See photos of summer schedules.
Students in the LHS International Foods Class created an amazing Hibachi meal!
