Catch the Wave of Innovation
A MESSAGE FROM DR. HARRISON
Hello Legacy Families!
For the month of September, Legacy is coming together as one community with one cause.... supporting Create A Smile Club with a fundraising goal of $10,000 to support Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. We are combining our magnet focus of TIDE with the goal of giving back by creating socially responsible entrepreneurs who can and will have an immediate impact on their community. This is a student-led effort, and all students have the opportunity to get involved and help us give back to our community. See below for more details. We hope you'll consider joining us in our efforts.
Enjoy your weekend. See you all next week!

Take care and stay safe,
Dr. Harrison, Principal
UPCOMING EVENTS
One Community, One Cause: Creating Socialy Responsible Entrepreneurs
Art with Mrs. Chung
The Comedy Sportz High School League® is coming to LMA!
What is it?
"We play improvisation as a team sport, with two teams “competing” for audience laughs. The stage is covered in turf, there’s a referee and the players are in uniform. It’s not comedy about sports; it’s comedy played as a sport." -ComedySportz Los Angeles
Benefits
"High School League® empowers students to create their own theatre and nourishes their communication skills through improvisational theatre workshops and performances. It encourages their individuality and provides the forum to succeed or fail in a safe environment that combines showmanship and sportsmanship." -ComedySportz Los Angeles
LMA's Advisor: Mrs. Bruley
Who? Open to all high school students!
When: Tuesdays @ lunch in room 2-204
*Performance and training dates to be determined
Interested?
Come to our first meeting Tuesday, 9/13 at lunch!

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. Additionally, we are looking for people to serve on three committees: Gala (we will be kicking off our first), Hospitality (organize and host teacher/staff appreciation-type events), and Recycling. If you are interested in serving on any of these committees, or if you would like to be added to our 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
