from California. This highly competitive award reflects outstanding

commitment, and community engagement.
  With 219 students across seven grades, Liberty Elementary School

empowering today's students to be tomorrow's problem-solvers, 
inventors, and pioneers. Please join me in congratulating Liberty 
Elementary School on this impressive achievement.
