Who Would Win? Today, EVERY kid at Liberty! Thanks @LibertyRockets PTO for buying a @jerrypallotta book for every kid. Bingo for Books looked a little different but the smiles were just as big. #learnbps #MicrosoftTeams

We CAN do HARD things! @AliviaWamboldt & @MrsKimHerman celebrated great gains in math and reading. School wide bingo for books, hallway music, treats for staff. Admin support and encouragement is key! #learnbps @LibertyRockets

Of course they figured out how to program their @ozobot to stop at the playground! We had a cactus, a few cats, a taco, a unicorn... the BALLOONS were so creative! @LibertyRockets #ozoparade @karenar_teach

A giant thank you to all of the medical staff and hospital workers in North Dakota! @karenar_teach 2nd graders took time to honor them with their @hesstoytruck salute during the @Ozobot #balloonsOverBroadway parade. #ozoparade

[Jan Schmidt @RocketReaders]

#balloonsOverBroadway was in Bismarck today! Parents, friends and family joined the parade virtually. Kids were so proud to share their one of a kind balloons, their 3D city and their computer coding skills! @LibertyRockets @karenar_teach @Ozobot #ozoparade @hesstoytruck
