The Liberty Jazz Band performed at the Mid Valley Jazz Festival yesterday hosted at Live Oak Middle School in Tulare. The band had a great performance featuring 12 of the students as soloists. They received 81, 82, and 83 by their judges, which included the Director of Jazz at Fresno City College, Paul Lucckesi, and the arrangers of one of their pieces, guitarist Mike Dana.
They were able to attend a feedback session, improvisation class, and sightreading clinic, where they worked with retired Fresno city college music professors Dale Engstrom and Larry Honda, and retired Hanford West High School director, Lisa Butts. The students were also able to watch the Fresno State Jazz Orchestra perform at the Noon Concert. Great job, Liberty Jazz Band!
Thank you, Sarah Bitsui and Dallas Poore, for providing us with some photos from the festival.

Our Liberty 7th grade students learned about the world of molecules, atoms, and bonds, this past week. Through this hands on lab, students explored the fundamental building blocks of matter and learned how atoms combined to form molecules. Using models, students gained a deeper understanding of atomic structure, molecular structure, and the conservation of mass.



The Liberty Jazz band is gearing up for the Mid Valley Jazz Band Festival, at Live Oak Middle School in Tulare.

Yesterday night, our A Girls Basketball team and Coach Senior had an exciting opportunity to attend a Lemoore High School Varsity basketball game at Youth Night. They got a chance to meet the players and coach up close and watch an action-packed game as well. It was an inspiring experience. It gave the younger students a glimpse into what it takes to be a part of a high school sports team and helped to foster a sense of community between our schools.
Thank you to Lemoore High School for this amazing event.
