We are kicking off our CHAMPS and PBIS programs school-wide as part of our Safe School Program. We used our mascot (STARS) as our acronym for our expectations of behavior in the classroom, the cafeteria, the playground, the hallways, the bathrooms, the gym, the school buses, and in assemblies:
S - Safe
T - Try
A - Ask
R - Respect
S - Smile
Great Things are Happening at NLS!!

2012 - 2013 School Theme
"Burke County - A Great Place to Live, Work, and Play!"
This year we will be studying the history, people and places that make Burke County a great place to live. We plan to visit the History Museum, the State Parks, and each community. Each classroom will prepare a book/movie about their experiences. We build each year on the events of the past so we will continue to present a live news show each day, incorporate cooking activities into our instructional activities, and expand our vocational program through on and off-campus activities. North Liberty students will continue giving back to the communities of Burke County through United Way, Meals on Wheels, volunteering at the Friends for Animals and the Public Library. Please let us know if you would like to volunteer, give a presentation,
or visit our wonderful school!
