Message from Mrs. Hemingway

Liberty Pines Academy Families,

Night of Arts

We hope you are able to join us for our annual “Night of Arts” on Tuesday,

December 12, 2017 starting at 6:00 pm. We invite our Wolf Families to come hear

our chorus and band perform, visit our vendor booths, and participate in our PTO

General Assembly Meeting. You will also be able to pick up your Square One Art

orders just in time for the holiday season. Wrapping paper orders in the Multi-

Purpose room near the gym throughout the evening event. We look forward to

seeing our Wolf families on December 12th!

Car Loop

Parents, we need your help with the car loop. Please remain in the car line and do

not attempt to pass other vehicles. This is creating an unsafe environment for our

staff, students, and families of LPA. Cars are not permitted in the bus loop area from

8:00-8:30 each morning. It is strongly recommended that you utilize bus

transportation that is provided by the district office to ensure your child arrives to

school on time. All of our school busses arrive at LPA by 8:20 each morning. This

allows adequate time for students to eat breakfast if they need to, unpack and get

ready for the school day which starts promptly at 8:30. Please ensure your child is

ready to exit the vehicle with their backpack and lunch box to quickly exit the

vehicle. Thank you for your support in keeping our parent drop off area moving to

ensure students are in their classroom at 8:30.

Parent Pick Up Safety

Please pay close attention to our cross walk areas in the parent pick up and drop off

line. Prior to entering our campus, please take a moment to look at the cross walk

area to ensure families are not crossing in front of your car. We have an increase in

student walkers in our area and we ask that our LPA families pay close attention to

the cross walk area at the parent pick up line. Thank you for continuing to assist us

with the safety of our students and families.

Congratulations to our LPA Volleyball Teams

We are proud of our volleyball teams this year. We held a banquet on November 13

to recognize the hard work and dedication of our players. I would also like to give a

special thank you to Coach Arritt and Coach Josephson for working with our

amazing young men and women as they continued to improve with their volleyball

skills each week. Way to represent LPA students!

our community and our troops!

Media Matters

Since the beginning of school we have ordered just over 400

books for the media center. Thank you for all of your support!

The St. Johns County Public Library has a new database

called, BrainFuse HelpNow. It’s amazing! It’s one of the new

St. Johns County Public Library System databases that

provides live tutoring. In addition, live resume assistance is

available through BrainFuse JobNow, for older students.

Students who are interested in testing for the Middle School

Battle of the Books team, will need to read at least seven

books prior to the test. Test will be Monday, Dec. 4th in the

media center, as soon as students arrive to school.

Thank you for making the LPA Media Center – the best ever!

8th Grade Career Academy Parent Night

Save the date for our current LPA 8th grade parents, BTHS will be

here on Wednesday, December 6, 2017 at 6:00 p.m. to discuss

career academy options and life as a high school student to

prepare for the upcoming year. Our 8th grade students will hear

this presentation during the day on Wednesday and the evening is

a time for parents to be informed about next steps to prepare for

high school. We look forward to seeing our 8th grade families on

December 6 at 6:00 p.m. in the cafeteria.

8th Grade Washington DC Parent Night

Our last parent night before the Washington DC trip will take place

on Tuesday, December 12, 2017 immediately following the Night of

Arts in the gym at 7:30 p.m. This is your chance to ask any

lingering questions you may have, get a copy of the most up to

date agenda, and to hear a reminder of what to have your child

pack for the trip. We hope all our families will be able to attend this

brief meeting before we leave on January 8, 2018.

This beloved American holiday classic comes to captivating life as a live 1940s radio broadcast. With the

help of an ensemble that brings a few dozen characters to the stage, the story of idealistic George

Bailey unfolds as he considers ending his life one fateful Christmas Eve.

"This is a very talented cast who has a great passion for this classic story. They are enjoying the

process of learning about how these stories were broadcast simply over radio waves. They are working

hard to perfect their different "radio voices" for each character." says Director, Jill B. Herkel.

This will be a wonderful holiday evening at the theatre!

Tickets are only $5 and the show runs December 7th and 8th at 6 p.m. at Liberty Pines Academy 10901

Russell Sampson Road.
