In June, several upper school students traveled to Costa Rica with the Seeds of Change program for a unique opportunity to do hands-on research deep in the jungle.

Last week, we sat down with two rising seniors, Eddie Hanson and Addie Kinley, and Mrs. Zweber, who chaperoned the trip, to hear about their experience.

We covered a lot of topics in just 30 minutes - from what their research experiments were about, to the fun activities (like ziplining!), what the housing and environment were like, and what surprised them the most.

Whether you’re interested in a future Seeds of Change trip or want to hear about their experience, this episode is a can’t-miss!

Middle school is a special set of years where students, turning into young teens, face unique challenges. In this month's episode, we chat with Mr. Bryn Homuth, Middle School Director and Mrs. Angela Johnson, Middle & Upper School Art Teacher as well as Liberty's Mental Health Consultant (as a Licensed Therapist). We dive into the importance of having grit and perseverance in middle school as well as how parents and teachers can support their children in forming those characteristics.

We're also sharing and celebrating the volleyball team's historic season!
