GETTING READY FOR THE 2022-2023 SCHOOL YEAR!
- Early Childhood registration begins in 18 days! Our Preschool, Young 5's and Kindergarten registration begins immediately after Christmas break, on Monday, Jan. 3, 2022. If you are planning to send your child to Preschool, Young 5's, or English or Spanish Immersion Kindergarten at Legacy next fall, please use this opportunity to register them. This will guarantee them a spot in the class you prefer. We also ask that you let your family, friends and neighbors know about this important date. Especially those whose oldest child would be eligible. These families are not always aware that registration takes place this early! Thanks for your help in promoting Legacy Christian! You truly are the most important part of promoting our awesome school!

MIDDLE SCHOOL EXAMS
JANUARY IS LEGACY'S MONTH AT THE NEW LIFE THRIFT STORE!
January is LCS's month to volunteer at the New Life Thrift store!! Parents, grandparents, high school students are all welcome to volunteer their time! The profits for the NLTS are returned to all South Suburban Christian Schools which includes Legacy Christian, Byron Center Christian, Dutton Christian, Moline Christian and South Christian High School. It would be great if every family could serve a 4-hour shift, so we can fulfill all of our volunteer slots and then some. Grab a friend, pick an open time slot and enjoy a few hours of sorting donations. (Bonus: You get to look through all of the donations before they get put out.) Click the link to sign up for a January slot today!
