Catch the Wave of Innovation
A MESSAGE FROM DR. HARRISON
Hello Legacy Families!
As we wrap up the month of September, we wnt to share how proud we are of the students of Legacy magnet Academy. Their generous hearts and hard work have led to raising over $18,000 in honor of Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month. These funds will support both CHOC and Create a Smile. We could not be more proud that our entire campus came together with a common goal of giving back to our community. Stay tuned... we here the students have already begun planning for their next big give-back effort for the 2023-24 school year!
Next school week is a four-day school week, with no school on Friday 10/7. On that day, our Legacy staff will be conducting safety drills as well as planning instruction.
Finally, 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!
