The AP Biology classes will be hosting the annual
Blood Drive
this Friday,
February 8, 2019
from
7:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
in the
Aux Gym
. This is the longest continuously running blood drive the
Community Blood Center
coordinates and is perennially, among their largest. Liberty High School and our surrounding community contribute approximately 10% of the total blood supply the CBC collects each year.
On average, donors should expect to spend between 45-60 minutes to complete the steps for a successful donation. To insure a safe and successful donation, donors should eat a good breakfast and be well hydrated. Each unit of blood donated will save a life, in some cases two!
If you have any questions, or would like to sign up to donate, please contact
Mr. Aaron Hohn
.

Future Finance Volunteers Needed!
|
|
Future Finance is financial literacy simulation program for high school students provided by Liberty Public Schools and Liberty School District Foundation.
Future Finance provides students a real life experience in handling their finances as a 26 year old. It’s a fun, tangible way to experience the reality of making financial decisions about life’s necessities. They learn what it costs to maintain a household, family, and children, why it’s important to do well in school, choose a career, and plan wisely.

Say No to Distracted Driving
|
|
Talk to your teen about Distracted Driving!
According to the National Safety Council, about
1,000 crashes occur daily
because of distracted driving.
- 55% of young adults say it is EASY to text and drive
- 48% of young adults report witnessing their parents use a handheld device while driving
What can we
ALL
do?
- Talk to your teens about the dangers of distracted driving, and commit to a safe driving contract.
- Be a good role model. If you want your teen to stop using their phone in the car, then parents need to lead by example.
- Use a Safe Driving App. Use your cell phone company's driving mode, make use of the "Do Not Disturb" mode, or find an app that shuts off certain phone features when you reach a certain speed.
- Time your Texts. Be mindful of when your teen will be in the car and try to wait until you know they have arrived at their destination, before texting. Remind them that while you want them to check-in, they only do so when NOT driving.
