ATTENDANCE

Melissa McGuffin - 833-5852

This year has been filled with moments of euphoria as our students

excelled academically and athletically. We also shared sorrow, as we lost one

of our students last week. Services for Independence Edwards are scheduled

for Saturday, June 29 at 2:00 p.m. in the Camas High School Theater, and all

are welcome. Doors will open at 1:00. In lieu of flowers, the family has estab-

lished a bank account at Riverview Bank to benefit our drama department.

As we send our scholars off for the summer, we worry about those who

may be hungry, or sad, or alone. We have arranged for a Bereavement

Support Group to provide general support for those who are grieving. Within a

trusting and nurturing environment, participants will learn and grow in the

development of coping strategies. This will take place Monday, June 24,

4-5:30 p.m. in our Liberty Library. All are welcome, there is no charge, and

follow-up meetings will be planned depending on the participants needs.

(see page 6 for additional information)

I’m taking a few moments during our annual Paw Party to send this mes-

sage. Of course since we made the decision to put the Obstacle Course in the

gym due to the weather forecast of imminent rain, it’s a beautiful day outside!

You’re welcome! We’re sending our largest class ever to Camas and

Hayes Freedom High Schools. We’re welcoming a bunch of cute new 6th

graders –it was awesome to get to meet them, and we look forward to our 6th

Grade and New Student Orientation on August 27, 2:30-5:00. No offense,

parents, but it’s hard for us to let our kids go!

Thanks for sharing them with us!

Here is a photograph taken on Friday, May 17, documenting the

presentation of the Liberty Ship historic photograph to Liberty

Middle School in Camas, WA by the Camas-Washougal

Historical Society. Pictured left to right: Marilyn Boerke,

Principal; Richard Johnson, Board President, Camas-Washougal

Historical Society; and, Teague Schroeder, Student Body

President. Teague is in the 8th grade. The photograph shows

Liberty ships built in the Vancouver Kaiser Shipyards during

World War II. An anchor from the Liberty Ship, Davy

Crockett, is situated behind. Richard Johnson also presented a

book of the Kaiser Shipyards history compiled by Camas-

Washougal President Emeritus Curtis Hughey.

Marilyn Brown, Board Secretary and Publicity Chair, will write

an article and submit, along with the photograph, to the

Camas-Washougal Post-Record and our Society’s newsletter.

The race for the Athletic Academic Award is close. This is an annual team award given at Liberty for the highest team GPA. Currently the Liberty Lions Girls Cross Country team is leading with a 3.66 GPA.

After 3 seasons of competition 208 Liberty students have participated in athletics. They have a GPA of 3.45. This is a great example of why we call them student athletes.

Track will start on April 8 so get that paperwork in to Mrs. Reed.

Great results need to be communicated. Liberty athletes have done an outstanding job this year. Our teams have competed at a high level in every league sport this year. We are also extremely proud of how they have competed academically. 395 Liberty students competed in 2012-2013 with an average GPA of 3.43. The GPA for all Liberty students is 3.0.

A big thank you goes to the Liberty staff and the parents of these great kids for their support.

Liberty student athletes can be very proud of their accomplishments.

Here are this year’s highlights:

Liberty Football—Co-league Champions and winners of 2012-2013 Paper Cup defeating rival Skyridge

Liberty Cross Country—2nd in league, 2nd in District Tournament & Tillamook Invitational Champions (out of 14 middle schools)

Liberty Volleyball—3rd in league and District tournament

Liberty Wrestling—5 Individual District Champions

Liberty Girls Basketball—Undefeated League and District Champions—12-0.

Liberty Boys Basketball—3rd in league and 2nd in the District Tournament

Liberty Knowledge Bowl—League and District Champions.

Liberty Track—2nd in league and 2nd in the District Tournament—2 new individual District Records (Emma Jenkins 1600 me-ters and the 4X200 relay team)—Liberty’s 6th grade Boys and 8th grade Boys were also the District Champions.

The Liberty Girls Cross Country Team is the 2012-2013 Lion Team Academic Award Winner with a GPA of 3.66.

Fall sports start August 19—8th grade football and 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Girls Cross Country. In order to practice, all necessary paperwork needs to be in to the athletic office. Right now is a good time to do that.

Dear Liberty Families,

This is Jean Hall, Liberty PTO President

By now, you have heard through your child, that they had a great time at our annual Paw Party! It was a huge success and I wanted to say thank you to those that were able to help out and come and support us at Liberty.

And to all those who brought watermelons, thank you!

If you have some time, and would like to donate in the way of being on PTO, we would like to hear from you. We are still looking to fill some chair positions like Staff Appreciation, Paw Party, March Madness. We also need help running Book Fair (we have two a year), and we are looking for someone to fill the Fundraising position. However, if you are unable to fill a position but would like to help out at any of our events, please email me so that I can add your name to our volunteer list for the 2013-2014 school year. If you are interested in a position or chairing a position, please email me and I will be happy to provide more details.

Thank you for considering supporting Liberty PTO!

Have a wonderful summer!

Sincerely,

Jean Hall PTO President 2012-2013

Liberty Middle School was excited to host 10 Polish students and their

chaperones from June 13th-24th. Our Polish exchange students

celebrated our year end activities here at Liberty, including our PAW

Party, Awards Assembly and Talent Show. Students were able to tour

our own downtown Camas, Fort Vancouver, and the Columbia Gorge

as part of our Sister City trips, while our gracious host families provided

extended experiences around our local area! We thank everyone who

opened their homes and families for our Polish Sister City visitors.

We are lucky to have this rich cultural opportunity for both our

Camas and Polish Sister City kids!
