NEW BITES FOR EAGLES The Liberty community welcom

NEW BITES FOR EAGLES

The Liberty community welcomes Twisted Sugar & Chick-fil-A to the area. Students got a first hand interview with the managers from these businesses before the doors were flooded with hungry people. These are quickly becoming a staple business in the community.

TWISTED SUGAR
Open on Monday through Thursday: 9 a.m.-9 p.m., Friday through Saturday: 9 a.m.-10 p.m., and closed on Sundays, Twisted Sugar offers over twenty flavors of cookies, and a few new monthly cookies available for a limited time. They also have many unique soda variations, twisters, energy drinks and a few other extras. You can even create your own soda if you would like. But it doesn’t stop there; Twisted Sugar also has a gluten-free option that comes with any of their frosting flavors. Twisted Sugar, a family run business, has a drink that celebrates the Liberty spirit called “The Eagle.”

“We’re looking for all kinds of employees, such as night time team members. What we are looking for when hiring a team member is the ability and hunger for growth, as well as emotional intelligence.”

CHICK-FIL-A
After months of anticipation, the new Hawks Ridge Chick-fil-A will finally open its doors to the Lake St. Louis community on Thursday morning, Nov. 17. The arrival of the new fast food restaurant has been long awaited since construction of the building started back in April.

As the Hawks Ridge location opens its doors for the first time, Pierce hopes that what sets them apart from other restaurants in the fast food industry, is their ability to make each customer’s experience a priority.

“We provide a great customer experience, but we also provide a great team member experience. As an owner, I started as a team member, and I know what it’s like to be a team member. So, I feel like focusing on each team member’s experience is a huge part of my role,” Pierce said. “I take care of everyone on the team, so they are able to take care of the guests.”

SOME PIG!

After months of rehearsing, building and creating, @dramaliberty opens the curtains for opening night of Charlotte's Web, tonight at 7 p.m. Both cast and crew have worked incredibly hard to bring this show together to make 3 magnificent performances.

WSD MARCHING SHOWCASE

Last night Liberty hosted the WSD Marching Band Event with all of the high schools in the district performing their spectacular halftime shows.

“I think it’s really cool we could come together as a community to see each others shows,” senior Victoria Mozolewski recounts. “[We] got a good run of the show and it made me happy.”

This showcase puts an end to the marching band and colorguard season, great job to all of the hardworking students and teachers out there!

Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and amazing performances!! @wsdlibertyband @wentzvillelibertyguard @timberlandbands @north_point_band @north_point_colorguard @wentzvilleholtguard @holtband

Therapy dogs were brought in for students are able to take a break, relax, and interact with specially trained, calming canines. Ms. Oliva, a librarian at Liberty, talks about why the therapy dogs were being brought back in now as an activity at the library.

“Now, a lot of the COVID restrictions have been eased, so it made sense for us to be able to offer this as an opportunity again, but also having that 9th hour time has made it possible,” Ms. Oliva explains.

💗 ON FRIDAYS (AND WEDNESDAYS) WE WEAR PINK 💗

With the last seasonal game coming to an end, Eagle spirit was far from basic tonight. Troy Buchanan High School took home the win with a score of 70-13. This whole week Eagles have been dedicated to supporting breast cancer awareness by pulling out all their pink attire. The student section participated in the annual Pink Out Powder Toss while the whole crowd had the opportunity to donate money during Miracle Minute. All proceeds tonight from these events go towards breast cancer awareness.

Congrats to all the hardworking seniors tonight, you have put in a lot of effort into
this year's season and Liberty appreciates you! 💗💗💗

Robotics is a club for everyone where you learn so

Robotics is a club for everyone where you learn social skills such as how to work as a team and even the ins and outs of how to run a business.

“We want to continue to grow as a team and incorporate all of the things we learned last year in order to build the best robot we possibly can,” Mrs. Deatherage, one of the team directors, said.

As of right now the team is currently in their offseason, but on Jan. 7 build season begins. Be sure to check them out on March 8-11 as they have their very first competition right here in St. Louis.

HYPE IT UP

Liberty had its first homecoming pep assembly in two years on Tuesday, Oct. 13 getting the student body hyped for Hoco. This was a new event for most of the school community and was a great success. Alexis Shuster (12) was the chairman of Weekly Homecoming Activities and the assembly itself. “It was a very long process. I started off by referencing the planning documents from last year and then went from there! I added in my own little ideas and games to make the assembly unique,” Shuster exclaimed.

Students performed pieces from all different parts of the world in a plethora of languages. Connor Higlen (11) is a dedicated student in Chamber Choir who is passionate about music and singing within the choral arts program. @connorhiglen made All District Choir this year and also qualified for an All State audition. “Each and every one of our songs is from a different culture around the world.

Over the weekend, @wsdlhsstuco hosted a free donation-based car wash to raise money for this year's homecoming dance. Students also bonded with each other as they scrubbed and washed cars to make them shine again. StuCo sponsor Mrs. Shafer was very impressed with the response to this event. “It's kind of one of those traditional high school activities. It was a fun way to raise a little bit of money to help out for homecoming. It’s also a fun way to get StuCo together for something like a bonding day,” Ms. Shafer said.
