Update

First of all, let me say THANK YOU to all of you who have been so supportive of this endeavor. I have been blown away w/ the kind hearts of so many Liberty folks!!

As many of you may have seen through QuickNews, Liberty Public Schools has mobilized a centralized effort to collect and distribute school supplies to those who need it. Our donations will most definitely go towards this cause! It is exciting to see everyone working together for children that really need the help.

You can choose to participate by donating from the Project Bluejay list below or from the list the school district put out in QuickNews (see below for that list). The drop-off point stays the same (District Administration Center ~ 650 Conistor ~ Liberty). Any way you choose to participate will be greatly appreciated!

SCHOOL SUPPLY NEEDS
Do you have a child that is in need of school supplies? Several community groups and individuals have been busy collecting supplies to help makesure that many of our students start the school year with the necessary learning materials. To access these materials, please contact your child’sschool counselor or social worker.
Looking to donate supplies? Due to the economy, many students in our district are in need of school supplies. If you or a group is interested in collecting school supplies, feel free to drop them off at the LPS District Administration Center (South Entrance) anytime between 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. These supplies will then be distributed to Liberty students through our counselors and social workers. Please refer to the school supply list below when making a purchase. Questions?
