Catch the Wave of Innovation
A MESSAGE FROM DR. HARRISON
Hello Legacy Families!
This is the FINAL WEEK to register for Dino Dash!
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
STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
TIDEPool Tutor of the Month
Legacy Students Complete Leadership Training Through Blanchard institute
Recently, fifteen of our Legacy High School students completed a leadership course through the Blanchard Institute. This course was a huge success and we hope to offer it to middle school students in the future as well.
From the course description:
Imagine students who are proactive, accountable, and know how to get what they need to achieve their goals. Imagine students who are self-confident because they understand their strengths and are not held back by negative thinking. Imagine young people able to overcome barriers and persevere against life’s inevitable challenges. Imagine our youth becoming competent leaders with servant hearts leading families, communities, and organizations.
Blanchard Institute has developed a six-hour student self-leadership program for schools and nonprofit organizations that serve youth in middle school and high school. The program teaches youth the best and most effective content and skills developed for employees and managers by The Ken Blanchard Companies over the last 40 years.
UPCOMING OPPORTUNITIES
Dear Parents and Friends of Legacy Magnet Academy:
A part of our school's mission is to develop well-rounded individuals who will be our next leaders, innovators, entrepreneurs, and trailblazers in our world. Aside from developing skills and passion, we want to impart that health is wealth. Therefore, we are building a state-of-the-art gymnasium. We can't do this without your support.
We invite you to attend and be a sponsor for our upcoming fundraising gala on Saturday December 3, 2022, at the Eureka Building to raise money to fund the equipment and tools needed for our new gymnasium. This building will be ready for use in the 2023-24 school year. This gymnasium is another part of the wave of innovation we intend to create at Legacy Magnet Academy, and we want you to be a part of it.
We are creating fun themed gift baskets for auction at the gala. Each grade level will be given a theme to coordinate but you are welcome to donate to any gift basket! See below for themes. If you don’t have time to shop, we can shop for you - cash donations or gift cards are always welcome.
Bring your donations to Legacy’s front office and place in the class bins before November 18!
These items are just ideas! Be creative and drop off any items you think would complement the themes…your help will make the gift baskets extra special.
