variety of hands-on classes to students in grades one through five Your

donate your time and talents again this year. Enrichment Day will be held from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Liberty Tree Elementary. Classes will consist of no more than 25 students per class. Instructors will teach anywhere from one to three 45 minute classes. An exact head count and number of classes to be conducted on each topic will be determined by registration.

than 600 students’ parents. In addition, your business will be able to hand

advertise. Liberty Tree Elementary Parent
