Achievement Awards. We wish you both the best of luck in your
future endeavors. June

much Mrs. Durkin and to all the parents and businesses who made this the
best Teacher Appreciation year yet! Pictures of the cake can

PTO News (Continued) Colleen
Makarevich has kindly volunteered to fill the open Co-President

interested. Nominations will be accepted until the last day of school,
June 14th. If you are interested, please contact Colleen, Nominating
Committee chairperson, at colleenmak@comcast.net (preferred) or at

interested). The PTO
portion of the school website has been updated with meeting
minutes, agendas, By-Laws, treasurers' reports, committees and
descriptions, chairs, and e-mail addresses. Watch for officer
job descriptions to be posted soon. We are hoping the website will be
used as an additional way of keeping the lines of communication open within
our PTO. The link is http://www.gmrsd.com/liberty.htm. Lastly, a
HUGE special thank you to ALL the committee chairs who
did such a phenomenal job of running each and every committee throughout the
school year. We stayed within budget on every line item and were still
able to give our kids the very best. Hats off to you all and
to each parent who helped and/or donated to make the committees run so
successfully!!! Learning Castle
