From the Eagles’ Nest — Welcome from the Principal

Welcome to the 2016-2017 school year. I hope each student and family has a very satis-

fying experience at Liberty North High School this year.

One very important characteristic of our school that helps with satisfaction and produc-

tivity is the desire to continue to work with all students and parents/guardians to make

sure we communicate well and ensure a positive path of growth and development for

each student. This communication is vital to helping each child find and develop his or

her genius. Please plan to participate in parent events such as Open House, Parent

Teacher Conferences and the myriad of school activities we have as best you can. These

and the normal email and phone calls go a long way in building the trusting relationship

that forms a strong support system for each student.

We ask that you strongly consider joining the Eagle Club as well. This is another great

way to be involved in and part of the experience at LNHS. You will greatly enjoy the par-

ticipation this organization.

Welcome to our sixth year at LNHS the home of the Eagles.

Martin K. Jacobs, Ed. D., Principal LNHS

EAGLE CLUB

EAGLES TAKE FLIGHT!

Welcome all Eagle Families to the 2016-2017 school year. The Liberty North Eagle Club wishes to welcome you either as a

new family or a returning family. The Eagle Club is a combination of a PTSA (Parent, Teach, Student Association) and an

Activity Booster Organization. The Club (referred to as LN Eagle Club) operates under the by-laws of the Missouri PTA.

Any club, team, or organization at Liberty North has the option to participate in the LN Eagle Club. By joining forces as a

PTSA and a Booster Club, we are able to work as one strong unified group to further the principles of each organization.

The Liberty North Eagle Club offers you the perfect way to get involved in the school by being connected. The involve-

ment can range from working in your child’s area of interest, working a concession stand, or leading a volunteer com-

mittee. It also serves as a wonderful way to get to know other parents, teachers, club sponsors, coaches, or administra-

tors. To ensure that we have a successful year, your families support and involvement is critical to our organization. The

Eagle Club will offer multiple opportunities to sign up for membership, either at registration, online, or at fall events. The

Eagle Club meets every 2nd Wednesday of the month at 7pm and you can find the minutes and general information from

each meeting posted on the Eagle Club website.

On behalf of each of the Eagle Club officers and myself, I want to once again welcome you to the Liberty North High School family and the LN Eagle Club. Together, we can achieve great success for our students, staff, and facility. I would also like to thank you in advance for your time commitment and your resources to help facilitate a great learning experience for our students and staff. Please feel to contact me at eagle-club@liberty.k12.mo.us. Rich Schipper
