Legacy is Growing
We are proud to announce that the 2023-2024 enrollment for Early Childhood is one of our strongest yet and it's only March! Thank you for sharing your experience at Legacy with your friends and family. We've added additional sections in our Preschool to make room for our growth! There are still spots available but they are filling up. Please let your friends and family know about our upcoming Preview Night on Tuesday, March 14 from 5:30-7:00 pm so they can learn more about our Christ-centered education, welcoming community and so much more at Legacy.

Legacy Spring Auction
Do you own a business or work for a business that is looking for organizations to support? Our auction relies greatly on sponsorships to help cover costs of the event. We have different levels of sponsorship for whatever fits your business best.
No business? Our auction would not happen without your donations! We need many donations to make the night a successful night, and we appreciate everything that we receive. Some donations that are always a hit are EXPERIENCES!!! If this is anything you can offer, we would love to chat. No donation is too big or too small. Please email rmorren@legacycs.org with any questions or comments.
LCS Auction Wish List 2023: Trailer rentals, vacation home rentals, timeshares, experiences, video consoles, smart devices, popular kids’ toys, etc.
Donation and sponsorship forms are available in both offices and the PDFs are attached to this newsletter. Donations from Legacy families are greatly appreciated.

8TH GRADE MUSICAL
The LCS 8th graders present "Shrek the Musical Jr." on Friday, March 10 at 1:00 pm and 7:00 pm. It's a "big, bright, beautiful world" as everyone's favorite ogre, Shrek, leads a cast of fairytale misfits on an adventure to rescue a princess and find true acceptance. When Shrek sets off with a wisecracking donkey to confront Farquaad, he's handed a task — if he rescues feisty princess Fiona, his swamp will be righted. Shrek tries to win Fiona’s love and vanquish Lord Farquaad, but a fairytale wouldn't be complete without a few twists and turns along the way.
There will be a matinee and a evening performance at the South Christian High School Auditorium. The matinee will begin at 1:00 pm and the evening performance will begin at 7:00 pm. All ticket sales are on online and will be $5.00 each. Click here to purchase your tickets now!
Tuition Assistance 23-24
The Finance Committee would like to inform all Legacy families that if you anticipate needing tuition assistance for the 2023-2024 school year, you must apply online through your FACTS Family Portal. Once logged in, choose Financial and then Apply for Grant & Aid. We respectfully ask that all applications and supporting documents be submitted prior to May 15, 2023. FACTS requires at least two weeks after that to complete their process before the Finance Committee can review the applications. Any applications submitted after May 15 may not be processed by FACTS in time for the first distribution of funds which could impact your awarded amount. Applications are accepted for students in Kindergarten and above. If you have any questions, please contact Amy Lourens at alourens@legacycs.org or call the West Campus office (455-3860).
