Principal's Message for 2025-2026

I am truly honored to welcome you to the new school year. I hope your summer was filled with memorable moments shared with family and friends. My name is Jody Obert, and I am proud to begin my 22nd year as the principal of Liberty Elementary and my 29th year as an educator.

The start of a new school year is always a special time. It is full of promise, growth, and opportunity. As we begin this new chapter in your child’s educational journey, I look forward to partnering with you to support their learning and development.

Our dedicated staff is eager to welcome back our students and families. I am especially excited to work alongside such a passionate, talented team of educators and supportive families. Together, we form a strong community committed to helping every child thrive.
