Muffins with Mom
The Legacy ladies had a great time at Muffins with Mom on Thursday! Moms, daughters, and mentors enjoyed a beautiful spread of delicious muffins, courtesy of Mrs. Nix, and an encouraging word from Mrs. Gallagher, who shared Proverbs 16:24 "Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bone", reminding us that a kind and encouraging response can heal and soften the heart.
Bus Drivers & Substitutes Needed
We need substitutes who can help fill positions when a teacher is absent. We also need bus drivers to help transport students to athletic events and field trips. Please see the office for details on each of these. Thank you!

Parenting Corner
From Mr. Nix
Parents, here are some additional tips on using open-ended questions to engage in meaningful conversation with your teen:
1. Bonding with your teen
Whenever we get opportunity share leisure time with our teens (even if it’s just over dinner) and we want to bond, we can use open-ended questions to get them more engaged and interested in talking to us.
2. Getting teens to share more
This is not about interrogating teens or manipulating teens into talking. This only works if we’re genuinely interested in what our teens have to say. But if we’re interested in how their day at school was, or how practice is going, or we want any kind of information about their life that they tend to withhold, we’ll have more success asking open-ended questions about their experience or how they’re doing, than by nagging them to share more.
3. Negotiating with our teens
Parenting teens can mean constantly being at odds with them about house rules, behavioral guidelines, our schedules, what they want to buy, and so many other countless things.
As the dominant members of the household, parents usually default to setting the terms of any negotiation. If our teen asks to say out late, we respond automatically with ‘yes’, ‘no’, or ‘be home by X time’. Open-ended questions offer an opportunity to create solutions that work for us AND that our teens are much more likely to adhere to. For example, if our teen asks to stay out late we can respond with, ‘What do you think is reasonable?’ Even if they come back with a totally unreasonable time, by letting them open the negotiation, they now have more ownership and buy-in around what the eventual result will be and are therefore much more motivated to uphold what is agreed upon.
The First Question:
The first question you ask your teen when they get home is the most important thing you'll say to them all day. It lets them know, consciously or subconsciously, what you find to be the most important. The next time you’re conversing with your teen about their day-to-day, consider these questions instead of the old-fashioned “Did you have a good day at school?”
What's something you want to tell me about your day?
How do you feel about your day at school today?
What was your favorite part of today?
What was something fun that happened to you today?
Or even just “How did your day go?”
Keep working on building effective communication in the home. It will pay dividends for years to come.
