Parents, Help us build a treehouse at Liberty. Our Liberty Laps on November 26th will aid in us raising enough money to purchase materials and build a treehouse for our Adventure Unit. We are staying with the Rocky Mountain mural theme and will be making our 'treehouse' into a Ski Lift shed that will have access through a cargo net tube. Maybe a 'snowboard bench' on top! Many of our students continue to stay active in the Worthington Community in Wellness 4 Life Events - the Warrior Run at Granby, the Spiral Mile at Colonial Hills, and upcoming... the Beat Michigan by a Mile Event at Bluffsview. See the event page for more details. We will be hosting our own WINTER 1 MILE RACE called the Beat Winter Challenge: Helping to Stomp out Hunger in Worthington. The date is TBD and will be scheduled when we have SNOW! If interested in helping, please let me know. We could really use your help!!!! Please! Email [email protected]. WALK and BIKE to School Day continues to be a hit! Our next opportunity to Walk and Bike to School is in December. Help us hit our target of 300 movers. I continue to share my bike commute stories daily with the students. I am now up to 61 days and 244 miles this school year in my roundtrip bike to Liberty each day. It's been a BLAST so far - getting cold, but dressing warm helps! Thursday, November 14th we helped (a group of 1000s of schools) set a World Record of cup stacking in a single day! Mrs. Skelton's, Mrs. Carney's, and Ms. Schwartz's students were AWESOME as our cupstacking LEADERS during noon option. We had a large group of parents and students hear a story in the gym for Reading Night at Liberty. I read a book written by John Wooden called Inch and Miles: The Journey to Success. We discussed two of the themes of John Wooden's Pyramid of Success: ACTION and DETERMINATION. The students (and parents) were AWESOME. We may add an Adventure Night in December - stay tuned!!! That's all for now. Please mark this web page and check out for the latest Wellness 4 Life news. Mr. Smith Liberty Wellness 4 Life

Parents,
The first grading period is over. The year is off to a great start - we have spent time practicing and learning fitness principles, volleyball skills, educational gymnastics, tennis skills, and now... one of our students' favorite activities, the Adventure Unit!!! With the Adventure Unit we will have our own Liberty Ninja Warrior challenge (think America Ninja Warrior for elementary students!). Many of our students have also been active in the Worthington Community in Wellness 4 Life Races - the Warrior Run at Granby, the Spiral Mile at Colonial Hills, and all of their sport teams (as well as pick-up neighborhood games, biking, walking, etc.). I LOVE hearing their stories This Monday (Nov 11 from 12-3pm), Granby Elementary will be hosting a bike day with their new mountain bike course and a "pump track" brought in for the day. There will be free food, a chance to donate to their program, and other bike activities. I have been over there several times with my children and it is a BLAST!
