Today is Valentine’s Day, and couples everywhere are celebrating with chocolate, flowers, etc. We have many couples at Liberty, including teachers; one of them being the Sachs’. 

Mrs. Sachs teaches Basic Skills and teaches a bit in all core areas, and has been working here for seven years. Her husband, Mr. Sachs, is an instructional assistant and moved here from Holt after having worked there for three years.

“He was super familiar with LHS since, as a family, we like to go to and support as many organizations/sports/events as we can as often as we can…so it feels like we are always here even when he didn’t work here,” Mrs. Sachs said. He was familiar with the building and staff before he started working here, so the transition was effortless.

One of the pros of working together is a shorter commute. Mrs. Sachs comments that “We get ‘us time’ on the way to work and on the way to pick up our children that we didn’t have before.” Although they work in the same building, they focus on completely different subjects and don’t see each other too often during the school day. 

Getting to work with your spouse is a rare experience that many aren’t able to have, yet many at our school have been fortunate to receive.

“We both love being part of the Liberty family. We are very fortunate to get to be part of the same building,” Mrs. Sachs said.
