LEGACY MAGNET ACADEMY DINO DASH CHAMPIONS!

Middle School Cross Country
7th Grade Entrepreneur Fair
Legacy’s 7th grade students participated in an Entrepreneur Fair where they shared information about an entrepreneur and the traits that made them successful. This was the culmination of work completed in their Core and Technology Applications for Business classes.
In Reader’s Workshop, students learned about identifying character traits and supporting their claims with evidence. The students also researched an entrepreneur of their choice and applied their learning from Reader’s Workshop to identify what contributions their entrepreneur made to society as well as the traits that made them successful. These claims were then supported with evidence and shared with fellow students and parents at the Fair today.
In their Technology Applications for Business class, the students used their research to create resumes or LinkedIn profiles about their entrepreneur.
Finally, the classes identified what excellent public speakers do to engage their audiences, and used this information to write engaging scripts. These scholars did a great job transferring their new learning across subject areas.
PTO UPDATES
A Letter From PTO
Dear Parents,
We are so happy that this school year is off to an amazing start with all of our students here in person! To date, we've had 180 families contribute to Waves 180, our PTO Fundraiser for the 2021-22 school year! Thank you for your awesome support! If you haven't yet contributed, please consider supporting the PTO: $180 amounts to only $1 per school day for your student. The funds are 100% used for LMA!
Take a look at some of the programs PTO has helped to sponsor so far this year:
- Weekly Lunchtime Activities put on by ASB for all students
- LMA's own "RISE" PBIS program for all students to be recognized for positive behavior
- Fall Fest coming this month
- Winter Semi-Formal Dance in December
- Staff Support & Appreciation
- Much needed school equipment for events such as folding tables, tablecloths, etc.
- and more to come!!
PTO serves as the bridge to cover the gap between what LMA students need that State & District funds can't provide!
We would like to encourage all families to contribute to the PTO to help us support these amazing programs for the students!
PLEASE check with your employers about Corporate Matching funds! Many companies provide Corporate Matching programs and are happy to do so before 2021 draws to a close. You can find more info and a list of companies that offer Corporate Matching on our website at: https://www.legacypto.org/donate
Thank you Parents for all you do to support your students at LMA!
