As we work faithfully towards starting our 18th year, we want you to know that we are praying for you and your families. It is such a joy to get to serve you and your children. Every year brings new faces and changes, but every year God's faithfulness remains! If you know families who would be a great fit for Legacy Academy, talk to them about enrolling. The new EFAs allow families to attend with no out of pocket tuition expenses. Who can you help make LA their school home? We are glad to schedule a tour and visit with them.

Athletics:
Basketball
It is a dead week this week for basketball. There will be no team workouts. All players are asked to get in the gym at least 2x this week to shoot and do a video workout. Take advantage of the weight room as well. Set a time with your teammates if you don't want to go alone. Contact a coach for gym access.
XC Practice This Week
Cross Country practice is this week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6:30 AM sharp! We’re so proud of the commitment you’re showing—early mornings, hard work, and heart—that’s what Legacy athletes are all about.
Now open to 6th grade students! Not on the team yet? This is a great week to jump in! Cross Country is more than running—it’s about perseverance, teamwork, and becoming Warriors who impact the world for Christ, one step at a time.
Game Days
Game Days is the last (and best?) summer camp at Legacy this year! It's way better than just sitting in front of a screen at home. During Game Days, we will be playing everything from card games to tag and from two-player games to party games. Campers will come home with their own deck of cards, the legendary Legacy Playbook, and new excitement to beat everyone they challenge on family night (humbly, of course!).
Come join us for three days of fun and friendly competition August 5-7, this Tuesday through Thursday, from 10am-2pm!
Reading Camp Recap
We had an amazing time at Reading Camp! Two mornings flew by with books, games, laughter, and lots of learning. The kids dove into stories, played literacy-themed games, and enjoyed a delicious lunch each day. Thank you for sharing your readers with us—we loved every minute!

Course Offerings Update:
Beginning this school year, we will be offering a junior/senior-level Consumer Math course as an option for students. We will continue to offer our trigonometry/pre-calculus course, as well. This will allow us flexibility in helping students who are better served in their future by one course or the other. We have always offered a Personal Finance course as an Economics credit. We will continue to offer this economics course with personal finance principles and an expanded entrepreneurship emphasis. The consumer math course will expand our personal finance offering for students with additional hands-on practical life uses and applications, while improving math skills. The course will count as a full Math credit.
