EDGE students are invited to a fun night of s'mores, games, tie dying t-shirts, and getting to know one another. Your student planning crew has been hard at work organizing a fun evening!

Join us on August 12th from 7 - 10 pm at the LHS Field. Please RSVP by clicking HERE. We hope to see you there!

What to Bring:
  • Water bottle
  • White t-shirt to tie dye
  • School supply donations (see more info below)
EDGE student leaders want to start the year by making a local impact! All EDGE students have the opportunity to be part of a school supply drive that will make a big impact for incoming LPS students.

EDGE students can bring donations to the August 12th EDGE event and donate them just in time for school to start. Consider expanding your impact by asking family or friends to contribute as well!

All donations will go directly to the Liberty Public School Back-to-School Drive. LPS Social Workers ensure that these supplies get to children in our district that are in need of school supplies for the upcoming year!
