Liberty Park Families,
I would also like to remind everyone of the tradition here at Liberty Park called the Holly Jolly
Fest. HOLLY JOLLY FEST IS TONIGHT (date of emailed newsletter) FROM 6:00 – 9:00PM.
Our PTA and staff do an amazing job putting together this event! There will be shopping, games,
dinner, raffles, auctions, student performances, and more! Santa always like to a make a special
appearance for photo opportunities as well! We hope to see you and your family at this fantastic
event.
PRE-K Information: “On My Way PreK" is the name of Indiana's first state-funded
Prekindergarten program, which was approved as a five-county pilot by the Indiana General
Assembly in 2014. If you have not heard, Indianapolis voted this week, 19-8 in favor of a State-
Funded PreK program at the Council Meeting. This is a MAJOR win for PreK scholars in low-
income areas. The Warren Early Childhood Center is considered a "School of Choice" for
parents that qualify for the vouchers. Marion county is one of the five counties eligible for the
available 400 spots beginning in January 2015. The pilot program is expected to ultimately
serve approximately 2,000 students in the five counties. If you are interested in getting more
information about the PreK Voucher, please contact Mr. Gearlds at the Warren Early Childhood
Center at 869-4754. Deadline for the January 2015 distribution is December 15, 2014. You may
also find information and application online at http://www.in.gov/fssa/4932.htm. This is a great opportunity for 4 year old students around the State of Indiana and Warren Township!
I hope that you and your family have a great weekend! As always, I thank you for your continued
support of Liberty Park!
Your Principal,
Jason Brooks

SCHOOL DISTRICT PUBLICATIONS/NEWS MEDIA USE
The occasion may arise when the school district wants to recognize your child or your child's
school. This may include your child's photo, your child's name or your child's work in district
publications, newsletters, on school district websites, and in electronic/social media or in staff
training videos. We may also want to tell the media (including newspapers, television, and
radio) about your child's achievements. We never knowingly release information about a
student to anyone who wants to use it for commercial/political purposes. However, we will
honor your request to not include your child in these types of recognitions if you notify your
child's school office in writing that you do not want this type of information released.
