A MESSAGE FROM DR. HARRISON
Hello Legacy Families!
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

Volunteers Needed!
LMA is looking for you to join our team of volunteers! This year, we have many new projects in the hopper and expect more general volunteer opportunities to become available. We have had a great response to our Gala and Hospitality committees (Thank you!), but we are still looking for a few more people to join our Recycling committee. If you are interested in serving on the Recycling committee, or if you would like to be added to our general volunteer team, you can email volunteers@legacypto.org, or fill out this FORM.
Finally, if you have friends in the LMA community, please encourage them to join our team with you! Volunteering is a great way to support our kids and meet other LMA families.
Thank you for being part of our volunteer team!
Sincerely,
Sonja Melching
