A message from the superintendent regarding potential hardships facing our families

Dear Liberty families,

We know our students are at their best when they feel secure at home. We also know many of our families are suffering hardships from the government shutdown. And with the pending cut to SNAP benefits, the impact will be felt even more.

We do our best to work as partners with our families to ensure that our students can perform their best inside and outside the classroom.

To help ensure our students have enough to eat, we offer free breakfast and lunch to all students. We also operate our Snack Pack program, which provides healthy meals over breaks and weekends to students who face food insecurity. For more information on the program, or to donate, contact Community Schools Coordinator Katlyn Rusin.

Our families can also reach out to our Student Services and or their school’s counseling department for more information about what services may be available.

There are also several organizations in the community that can assist families in need.

Sullivan County Department of Health and Family services offers a list of local food pantries. Scroll down the page to find English and Spanish versions of their brochure.

The regional food bank is also offering a free Thanksgiving food distribution. Locally the distribution will be at 10 a.m. Nov. 22 on a first-come first-served basis at the Government Center in Monticello. Learn more at the regional food bank’s Thanksgiving food distribution page.

New York State has also created a list of resources available to families:

I also encourage those who can to volunteer at or donate to our community organizations that are working to help our families in need.

We are proud of our Redhawk family and know that working together we can get through this difficult time.

Sincerely,

Dr. Patrick Sullivan
Superintendent
