Due to the threat & severity of the incoming storm, we are going to code today as an Alternative Method of Instruction (AMI) Day which allows all parents/guardians to pick up your students from school at any time this morning without attendance penalty. We will run regular bus routes starting at 11:30, so please make arrangements to either pick up your students from school or have someone at their bus drop off location.
Evening shift employees, do not report for work today. This day will not counted against you. Stay safe everyone and we will see you back tomorrow!!
Thank you Simmons Bank for providing baskets of goodies for the staff in our buildings. We appreciate your thoughtfulness and support!

What an unforgettable Spring band concert we experienced yesterday afternoon! Our middle school and high school students delivered a wonderful performance. But amidst the melodies and applause, we took a moment to honor someone truly special - our esteemed band teacher, Mr. Johnson.
Mr. Johnson, your dedication to our students and the art of music has been nothing short of inspiring. As you prepare to embark on a new chapter teaching in your hometown, we want to express our deepest gratitude for the difference you have made in the Mountain View-Birch Tree R-III School District.

We would like to congratulate Liberty Eagle Terrell Gaines, as he has chose to further his education and basketball career at Austin Peay University in Clarksville, TN. Terrell is also the all time leading scorer in Liberty Eagle basketball history with 2,514 points. We wish he and his family the best of luck.
Parents and guardians, in regards to those physicals please also make sure we have correct insurance information on the form, this will also help us make sure your child has full eligibility in the upcoming season, and for Summer activity. We would also like to thank OZH for offering these free physicals. They will have 2 providers as well as nurses assisting to take care of our student athletes. We appreciate their support.
We will be offering free sports physicals to all incoming 6th grade, to current 11th students on Monday May 20. We will begin at each elementary at 8:15 am, with the 5th grade. We will move to LHS , to get all of the remaining students. We will be sending home forms beginning next week, for parents to fill out. Those will need to be returned, so the student can get the physical. We hope this cuts down on the uncertainty of students having a physical, and will ensure they are ready for summer activity, as well as helping parents not have to take care of this before school starts. In addition, we will be going back to the yearly physical so that we are sure everyone is covered and we have no gaps.
We would like to congratulate the Liberty Boys Track Team for winning the SCA championship yesterday.
We want to reassure you that the threat made was thoroughly assessed by the authorities, and it has been deemed not credible. We place the safety of students and staff as the highest priority. We have security measures in place and protocols that are rigorously followed to ensure a safe learning environment. Thank you for your trust and continued support. There are only 17 days left in the 2023-2024 school year. Keep showing up, Liberty Eagles!
Last night we were thrilled to celebrate the official ribbon cutting ceremony at our new Administrative Office, generously donated by Simmons Bank. Behind the stunning main building, we were gifted a spacious 1200 square foot storage facility. The main office building has 8 offices, a kitchen, a walk-in vault, a file room, and a conference room. The building sits next to Mountain View Elementary.
Our district administrators meet almost weekly in this building. It is a place where dreams are nurtured, ideas are born, and futures are shaped. The central office plays a critical role in ensuring the effective operation of the entire school district. Simmons Bank has provided us with a stellar space to make all of this happen!
Simmons Bank went above and beyond for the event, having the event catered by Petrova’s Pastries and Mixings. The evening was filled with joy, gratitude, and great food as we gathered with esteemed guests including our dedicated school board members, MVBT district administrators, the honorable Mayors of Birch Tree and Mountain View, a few of Simmons Bank’s employees, and our hardworking Central Office staff. In addition, Dr. Christensen, former Superintendent, was in attendance. Dr. Christensen and Steve Vines, Bank President, worked several months to finalize the details.
We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Simmons Bank for their incredible generosity and support.
LMS had a contest for the cover of our planner for the 24–25 school year. Students submitted ideas and the student body voted. Kinley Young was the winner with Noah Smith and William Crisel coming in 2nd and 3rd. We are so proud of our students!
