The Liberty Education Foundation is excited to offer THRIVE again this summer! This free and fun 3-day experience is for Liberty Public Schools rising sophomores, juniors and seniors, June 24 - 26, from 9 am - 3 pm, at Liberty North High School.

Strengths Assesment
And much more!
PLUS lunches from local favorites - Longboards, Sarpino’s Pizza and Rancho Grande!
