Kids loved Sing-a-long Club this year! Singing is proven to be beneficial for health, happiness, and community. Thank you to Ms. Torrey, our music teacher for allowing this opportunity for some of our grade-levels.
Ms. Koziokas "does it all". She wears so many hats! She has been a big help to Lieb this year being an instructional assistant, a substitute, and sometimes even jumping into teachers' classrooms to give an extra hand! Thank you, Mrs. K for being a part of our Lieb Family.
Meet Mr. Beemsterboer (Mr. B)! He is the Coordinator for Student Services in our district. We are so thrilled that his office is at Lieb. Mr. B is a master at not only assisting with students in Special Education, but also any child that may need accommodations or modifications.
Ms. J is the most recent staff member to join our Lieb family and we are so glad that she did! In addition to helping out in the classroom, Ms. J helps out at breakfast and makes sure kids get a good start to their day.
Ms. Barrientos is a wonderful asset to Lieb School! She works hard to support students in the classroom, during lunch/recess, and (as shown here) outside in the cold. She always has a positive attitude and never complains. Great job, Ms. Barrientos!
We know that the guidelines for COVID-19 has limited parents in our building. We wanted to take a minute for you to meet our secretaries: Ms. Hamad & Ms. Wierzbicki! They are so important to the function of our school and serve as the frontline. The office is open from 8-4, M-F.

Ms. Schmitz and Ms. Garoufalis do great work alone AND together! Whether it's supporting students speech and building their confidence to helping families who need more assistance, this duo is not to be stopped! This week, they were teaching how to show good manners.
Ms. Ghosein is working with her students using our new phonics curriculum, FUNdations. It's so FUN!! Ms. Ghosein can switch out one letter (ex: rap and rat) and the students tap it out to read the word. It's amazing!
Ms. Freeman and the 5th grade students are working hard this week, making edits to each other's work. Thankfully, our technology helps make this an interactive, real-world practice. Students use google suite to edit each other's work.
Ms. Grela was reviewing "unique" as a vocabulary word. Students got to draw and explain what makes them unique as an individual. Ms. Grela teaches academic and important self-love and kindness concepts. Thank you, Ms. Grela!
