Good afternoon Annie Jr. Cast, Crew, and Families

As you know, we've made the very difficult decision to cancel the Spring 2020 production of Annie, Jr. due to school closures related to the coronavirus.

TO DONATE YOUR TICKET COST
If you would like to offer your purchase as a contribution, we truly appreciate your support, and no action is needed. The Production Team will use your donation to honor our cast and crew with an "Annie, Jr. Celebration" once school resumes. Should school closures extend to where this event would not be possible, your donation will then go directly toward production(s) in the 2020-2021 school year.  

TO RECEIVE A REFUND
If you prefer a full refund, please contact Brown Paper Tickets within 2 weeks by emailing refunds@brownpapertickets.com. Be sure to include your confirmation number.

It's truly been our honor to work with these young performers, and we can't wait to celebrate them once we are all back together. Thank you for your understanding, and we hope you and your families stay safe and healthy.

If you have any questions, you may contact us directly at ltcsanniejr@gmail.com.

Kindest Regards,
The Annie Jr. Production Team

Dear Liberty Tech Families:
On March 16, 2020, Governor Kemp signed an executive order closing all public schools in Georgia until March 31, 2020. Therefore, Liberty Tech Charter School will be closed until at least March 31, 2020. We will notify you at a later time about our operational status for April 1-3, 2020.
We will continue digital learning beginning today through March 31, 2020. Please continue to check your email regularly for updates from your child's teachers, our counselor, or myself. If you or your child have questions about online assignments, please feel free to reach out to the teacher during his/her "office" hours or by email at any time.
I will continue to send out the weekly newsletter each Friday. I would encourage you to keep your child on a normal school routine during our digital learning days.
If you or a loved one needs additional support, including access to food resources, please reach out to the US Department of Health and Human Resources at www.hhs.gov or 877-696-6775​. Additionally, the GA SNAP nutrition program can be reached at 877-423-4746.
If you are a resident of Fayette County and in need of food, Spring Hill Elementary and North Fayette Elementary will be providing breakfast and lunches daily from 11:00 am - 1:00 pm. This is a drive thru service for any students in your car under the age of 18.
Thank you for your continued support!
Thanks,
Melissa King

Dear Liberty Tech Families:

As the safety of our students and their families is always our first priority, it has been determined to close Liberty Tech for a minimum of one week beginning Monday, March 16, 2020. Information will be sent out soon about digital learning for next week.

As this decision was reached after the school day on Thursday, the LTCS facility will be open on Monday, March 16th from 7:30 am until 4:00 pm. Students who indicated they are without access to a computer at home should plan on picking up a school-issued Chromebook during this time. Additionally, if students need to pick up any personal items they may also do so on Monday. As disinfecting procedures are already underway, families are requested to minimize their time in the building, and students must remain with an adult family member at all times. 

We will remain in contact with our families with updates regarding the status of reopening dates and procedures. Please continue to check your email regularly - details regarding the week of March 23 will be communicated no later than Thursday, March 19. Teachers will also be reaching out to students soon to implement our online education plans during this closure.

Our aim is to reduce contact among our students and dramatically reduce the potential exposure and spread of COVID-19. Please continue to implement the following measures:

- Stay home and limit contact with others when you are sick. Avoid those that are ill.

- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze and properly discard used tissues. If no tissue is available, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve, not your hands.

- Frequently wash your hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth, as this is a primary way germs can spread.

We know that it may be hard to get a doctor’s appointment, go to a clinic, or even be seen in a hospital emergency room. Here are some tips for helping those who become ill:

- Drink a lot of clear liquid such as water, juice, or electrolyte drinks.

- Keep the sick person as comfortable as possible. Rest is important!

- For fever, sore throat and body aches, use ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Please do NOT use aspirin with children or teenagers as it can cause Reye’s syndrome, a life-threatening illness.

- Be sure everyone in the home washes their hands properly and frequently.

We know this is a hard time for our community, and our hearts go out to those who are ill. If you or a loved one needs additional support, including access to food resources, please reach out to the US Department of Health and Human Resources at www.hhs.gov or 877-696-6775​. Additionally, the GA SNAP nutrition program can be reached at 877-423-4746.

Liberty Tech would like to express our gratitude to all our LTCS family members in the health profession as they fight this virus fearlessly and tirelessly. You are Maverick strong!

Thanks,
Melissa King
