P.E. - Since helping open the school back in 2002, Mr. Plamondon has enjoyed teaching PE for many Liberty families - several for over a decade!
"Making learning and exercise fun… and changing their tomorrows," Mr. Plamondon uses various antics to motivate and reach each student where they are, encouraging all to do their very best in all activities. He has even been known to use “special guest teachers” as well. You might hear of some of his guest teachers on campus, like Darth Vader, “Kingpin” from Angry Birds, the “Food Ninja” (the Fruit Ninja’s brother), a Kung-Fu Master, or a Pizza Kitchen chef. When you do, be sure to ask your child what they have been doing in PE that week!
