TECHNOLOGY
Our school is looking for interested parents to serve on our school's technology committee. Specifically, we are looking for interested parents who have talents and understanding in the area of computer equipment, systems, etc.
Our technology committee consists of a cross section of teachers and parents. This year the committee anticipates planning for the future use of technology in our school and renewing a master plan for necessary hardware and system upgrades.
Do you have an interest in helping to shape these plans? If so, please contact Mr. DeYoung or Mr. Bonnema for more information.
NOVEMBER HOT LUNCH
COME JOIN US AT WEEKLY WORSHIP!!!
Have you ever wondered what happens during our weekly worship at the elementary on Friday mornings? We would like to invite you to come on Friday’s and worship with us! There are always a couple of rows of chairs set up in the back just for visitors and parents! Our worship takes place every Friday morning at 8:15 am, in the elementary gym, and concludes at 8:40 am. There are 5 special all school worship times throughout the school year when the west campus students join us at the elementary;
- First day of school
- Thanksgiving
- Christmas
- Easter
- Last day of school
On the last Friday of the month our students meet with their small groups which are made up of students in grades Young 5’s through 8th grade.
**Preschool parents – We would love to have you join us! If you would like to come on Fridays at 8:15 and worship with your Prek student, you can! Then bring them directly to their classroom when worship is over (or sneak out a bit early if needed). It is a great way to start your morning and also a wonderful way to build community and see what makes Legacy so special!
