Rising TIDE

Hello Legacy Families!

IMPORTANT UPDATE TO BELL SCHEDULE:

Beginning Monday 10/24, the LMA middle school day will be extended by 5 minutes changing our dismissal time to 2:55pm. Our school staff looks forward to increasing our instructional time with your children. I appreciate the LMA faculty's ongoing commitment to our students.

Beginning Monday 10/24, Middle School will dismiss at 2:55pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. ALL students grades 6th-11th will dismiss at 2:55pm on Wednesdays. This does not change the timing of any other part of the school day. This will be in place for the remainder of the school year.

If you have not already, we encourage you to register for the upcoming Dino Dash. This is an excellent community event, benefitting TUSD and our school. $10 from every registration (including sponsoring a Runnership) will go directly back to our school. We have been the highest participating school for MS/HS the last two years, and we plan to keep that title! Join us on Sunday 11/6!

Enjoy your weekend. See you all next week!

Take care and stay safe,

Dr. Harrison, Principal

If you would like to practice your 30 second pitch, be sure to register. The first 5 to sign up at the event will have the opportunity to give their best pitch to the audience which will include entrepreneurs, business executives, Investors, and educators.

TCVN is one of Southern California’s premier technology business networks. Through a wide variety of forums, pitch sessions, workshops, and other networking events, we bring together entrepreneurs and resources from the Orange County Startup ecosystem.

"Pedego was founded in 2008 to be the very best brand of electric bikes on Earth, not necessarily the biggest. The story of Pedego is one of organic growth. The fun of electric bikes and the culture of Pedego are both highly contagious.

Pedego founder Don DiCostanzo is a serial entrepreneur and former automotive industry executive. He also happens to live at the top of a giant hill, and that’s why he bought his first electric bike. 'That first bike was awful,' he remembers, 'but it got me up the hill.' His early experience as a customer got Don hooked on electric bikes. In 2006, he opened a shop in Newport Beach, CA that quickly became the largest electric bicycle retailer in the United States.

Soon, Don found himself frustrated and disappointed with the poor quality and boring style of all the electric bikes on the market. He dreamt of creating his own brand of electric bikes that would live up to his high standards and appeal to more people. That’s when Pedego® was born, on the back of a napkin, in 2008. The colorful, fun bikes were instant crowd pleasers, and world class customer service earned them a special place in the hearts of customers everywhere.

Five years later, a customer loved the brand so much that he opened the first official Pedego store in Huntington Beach, California. Since then, nearly 200 locally-owned Pedego stores have sprung up all over the world.

For over a decade, Pedego’s extraordinary growth has been fueled by passionate customers sharing their love of Pedego. 'Word of mouth is still our most effective advertising,' says Don, 'If I tell you that Pedego is the best, it’s only bragging. But if our customers tell you, that’s proof.'"

Get started on the right foot and join TCVN on October 27th, 2022, 6:30pm at Concordia University Irvine, North Grimm Hall room #302.
