Parents,
We have many cool things going on at Liberty this month. September 25th will be our second Walk/ Bike to School Day of the month. We had over 230 students travel to school by their own power on September 11th!!! Please see the Events tab for up to date Worthington Wellness 4 Life Activities for elementary students around our district. The next event is the Warrior Run on Friday, September 20th at the McCord Track. Register by clicking the Events tab and finding link. Mountain Bike any day at Granby Elementary bike trail! During noon options weekly, Stephanie Woodrow (Coach Stephanie), will be getting our students fit for the 'Liberty Ninja Warrior Challenge' during our adventure unit (mid November to mid December). To 'qualify' for the competition, the students must join us for noon option and improve their strength, endurance, and balance. In Wellness 4 Life class we are learning volleyball skills and game play with our 3rd to 6th graders through a play practice approach, and learning educational gymnsatics (travelling, jumping and landing, rolling, and taking weight on hands) with our K-2 students culminating with end of class performances (Olympic or X-Games) with all of our skills. Get moving, keep moving, enJOY moving! Mr. Smith

I hope the beginning of the school year is going well for your child! I wanted to share current Wellness News at Liberty:
Wednesday (September 11) will be the first Walk/ Bike to School Day of the Year. Liberty PTA and Regan Versele are heading up the days this school year. Please remind your children to stay safe by remaining on the sidewalks with the team of walkers. For students who walk/ bike on a regular basis, please meet in gym when you arrive to sign a grade level poster and to receive a small prize. **Challenge Mr. Smith to 100 days this year!!! If you can use your human power (walking, running, biking, etc.) to get to school 100 days, you will earn a Rita's Water Ice at the end of the year in May in the gym with Mr. Smith. Please log days already accomplished on the ticket below. (I am up to 16 days!!)** The Warrior Run is September 20th at the McCord Track. The school with the most participants earns a very cool travelling viking trophy. Let's be the school!! The race is an INCREDIBLE event you will not want to miss. It's a 1 mile race through obstacles, mud, and a group of crazy warriors at the end. The race is for students in 4th-6th grades (and Worthington Staff and parents!). I will be there along with my family and other Liberty students who have already signed up for the race. Please join us by signing up before September 16 (do it now!) at www.WorthingtonWellnessWarriors.com By the numbers: Over the summer 42.3% of our students improved on their Pacer (the Pacer measures cardiovascular endurance which we call our 'heart power'). To compare, 92% of our students improved during last school year (September 2012-May 2013). Our goal for this year is 95% for the school year. We speak daily about our S.E.E. principle to accomplish this goal:
