Founder's Note:
As the ice melts and we move strongly into the second semester of our 18th year, I am thinking how important it is that we all remain faithful. Parents, teachers, staff, and students—we must remain steadfast in our love for Christ and faithful to the call and mission of the Lord. Parents, your faithfulness in nurturing your children's spiritual life at home sets the foundation for everything we do here at Legacy Academy. It is the most important thing you do in life. In a world that often pulls in opposite directions, your consistent love for God, your daily example of devotion, and your commitment to raising Warriors for Christ are profoundly powerful. We see the fruit of that faithfulness in your children every day, and we are grateful for your partnership.
As a school community, we promise to be faithful alongside you: faithful in teaching truth, faithful in modeling Christ-like character, and faithful in stewarding the trust you place in us. We will be faithful in growing, changing, learning, and overcoming. We have this promise: "Oh, love the Lord, all you His saints! For the Lord preserves the faithful..." Psalm 31:23
May the Lord preserve and strengthen us all as we renew our commitment to faithfully love and serve Him.

Pee Wee players should bring their jerseys and navy shorts to school on or before photo day!
Families do not need to complete any paper order forms in advance, as all photo orders will be placed online through Lifetouch. Please note that there will not be a makeup photo day, so be sure your student is present or they will not be included in team photos!
Muffins with Mom, Friday, February 6 at 7:00a
Legacy Academy warmly invites mothers and daughters to a special morning of fellowship at Muffins with Mom. This cherished event is a time of intentional focus on the unique and God-designed relationship between mothers and daughters. Including joyful fellowship, fun activities, a photo booth, a guest speaker, and a muffin baking contest, this will be an event you and your daughter won't want to miss! More details will be coming soon, including sign-up forms for the baking competition—so start planning now and perfecting your recipe.
Muffin Competition Categories:
Classic Fruit – Traditional breakfast favorites such as blueberry, apple cinnamon, banana nut, or cranberry orange
Savory & Hearty – Meal-worthy options featuring ingredients like cheese, bacon, egg, spinach, or jalapeños
Chocolate Indulgence – Muffins where chocolate shines, such as chocolate chip or double chocolate banana
We look forward to beginning this day by celebrating the beautiful women and young ladies that you are, and the special bond God has created between mothers and daughters.
Carnival of Culture
We are excited to announce that our Carnival of Culture will take place on February 24th from 2:00–3:00 PM! This event is designed to bring together our classical education approach across all grade levels, connecting students through shared learning in history, literature—both real world and fictional—and cultures from around the globe.
Our aim is to deepen students’ understanding, foster compassion, and broaden their knowledge of both God and the world He has made. Each class will participate in unique ways, exploring a different culture or time period through hands-on activities, history connections, and literature-based learning.
Families are invited to attend! We will begin in the cafeteria at 2:00 PM with a short introduction and directions before students guide you through their cultural stations.
Teachers will send specific instructions or requests related to your student(s) through Remind, so please keep an eye on your messages for class-level details.
Thank you for your support—we look forward to celebrating this enriching school-wide experience together!
