From the Founder
This school year is off to an amazing start. Students are settling into a good routine and everyone is enjoying the new year. This week we have our first Cross Country Meet. We are so proud of our students who are pioneering this new sport for Legacy Academy. Pioneering can be hard, but it is rewarding! It is a joy to later see others benefit from the effort. This reminds me of all so many in the faith have done for us. We can each reflect upon the many blessings we enjoy as a result of the sacrifice, efforts, and faithfulness of others who have gone before us. Their faith made a way for us and we benefit from their faithful following of Christ. This week, let's all rejoice and give thanks for those who have contributed to our journey!

Scholar Induction
Scholar Induction, our first formal event of the year, is happening on the evening of Thursday, September 21st.
The Scholar Induction Ceremony is designed to induct our students into their final stage of learning at Legacy Academy. In this, we charge our oldest students with the importance of living an honorable life that matches the school's values and tasks them with the responsibility of setting an example for younger students. Our new Rhetoric-level students (Sophomores) are initiated in a ceremony that pronounces them as Legacy Academy Scholars. In this ceremony, they will receive their charge and are given their navy blazers. Their navy blazers become part of their formal uniform and will signify their status as role models and upperclassmen.
In addition, other students in the school are promoted to their rank and classification at the school with an accompanying charge. New Logic-level students (7-9) will become Apprentices, 3-6 Protégés, and K-2 Rookies. All K-12 students are asked to attend.
Cross Country Color Fun Run
To launch our Cross Country program, Legacy will be holding a Color Fun Run on Saturday, September 23rd. The event is free but food will be sold as a fundraiser for the team. To buy a BBQ sandwich will cost $15 to support the new team. We'd love for you to come and walk or run the course.
As well as raising funds for this nascent program in its first year, it is a great chance to get to know other families at the school, cheer on students, and maybe even get your legs moving! You can sign up for the 3km run (1.8 miles) here. There will be prizes for the 1st place Lower Level and Upper-Level student and for the most school-spirited runner!
The public is invited so bring them along!
