Liberty Pines Academy will begin updating proofs of residency for the 2012-2013 school year beginning January 30. Please submit the proof of residency to your child’s homeroom teacher by February 24. If you lease your home, you will need to submit your lease signed by the tenant and landlord. If the lease is month to month, this information must be indicated on the lease or by a separate letter from the landlord. If you own your home, you will need to submit a current mortgage statement. The statement must show your name, address and be dated either in December 2011 or January 2012. If you pay your mortgage online, you should still be able to print a statement with this information. Whether you just enrolled your student at LPA or you have been with us for many years, you must submit
a proof of residency for your student for the 2012-2013 school year. We appreciate your assistance in obtaining this information for our records. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Ms. Rigsbee at 547-7908.
Tryouts for LPA's softball team will be held on Monday, January 30th and Tuesday, January 31st from 3:30 to 5:00. All interested players should register on the Saint Johns Middle School Athletic Association website prior to the tryouts.
"New" Celebrate Literacy Week @ LPA
This week at LPA there are many activities taking place to help us celebrate reading! Check out this week's schedule:
"New" Relay for Life’s “Dimes Make a Difference” is here!
“Dimes Make a Difference” is one of our biggest fundraisers for LPA’s Relay for Life team and an easy way to raise a lot of money for the American Cancer Society.
Here are the details:
Each K-5 and MGs HR teachers will get an empty, labeled water bottle in their mailbox. The goal is to FILL THE BOTTLE with dimes as many times as possible from Jan 23rdh to Jan 30th
One bottle filled once with just dimes equals almost $90.
You do the math. If every teacher fills the bottle just once with dimes, we could raise over $5000 for the fight against cancer.
The 2012 LPA yearbook is looking for photo submissions. If you have great candids of LPA students or staff, please submit by going to the yearbook page and following the link to eShare. http://www-lpa.stjohns.k12.fl.us/teachers/churcht/Yearbook.
Kindergarten and Eighth Grade Students Collecting Military Supplies in January!
Throughout the 2011-2012 school year, the teachers and students at LPA will partner with the USO of Jacksonville to collect supplies for soldiers overseas. Students will also write inspirational letters to the soldiers to show our gratitude and support. The USO will be shipping these supplies and letters to soldiers, once a month. Each month, a different grade level will be collecting supplies and writing letters. During the month of January, kindergarten and eighth grade students will be collecting supplies and writing letters to soldiers overseas! A parent letter and a list of supplies were sent home in your child’s January 3rd Tuesday folder. Please send in supplies to your child’s homeroom teacher by Friday, January 27th. Please see the link below for a list of
approved supplies.
