HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PAST WEEK:
State XC Meet
Friday the Legacy Academy Warriors Cross Country Team proudly represented our school at the State Cross Country Meet! After a season filled with early practices, determination, and teamwork, our runners gave it everything they had on the state stage.
From the first mile to the final sprint, our Warriors showed heart, resilience, and the drive that defines our program. Every stride reflected months of dedication and the strong support of our school community.
We’re still waiting for official results — those will be shared on Monday.
For now, we want to congratulate our athletes and coaches for an outstanding season and for earning the opportunity to compete among the best in the state. Your hard work and Warrior spirit make us all proud!
Stay tuned Monday for results!
Upper Level Field Trip to Old Washington!
On Friday, our Upper Level Legacy Academy students had the opportunity to travel to Old Washington to watch a live performance of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar.
This field trip offered students a chance to experience one of literature’s most famous plays come to life — exploring themes of leadership, loyalty, and the complexities of power. Seeing Shakespeare performed in a historic setting made the story even more engaging and meaningful.
Students enjoyed connecting what they’ve studied in class with the performance on stage, deepening their appreciation for classic literature and live theater.
A big thank-you to the organizers, teachers, and chaperones who made this enriching experience possible!
Caught in the Act... Of Kindness!
Kindness is contagious—and we’ve got the proof! Check out who’s been ‘caught in the act of kindness’ this week, spreading good vibes all around our school!
Mr. Ward running the State meet with Jocelyn to keep her motivated!
Legacy Littles from Bright Beginnings!
Our Legacy Littles from Bright Beginnings are a joyful reminder of God’s faithfulness and the bright future He has planned for our school community. Each child reflects the wonder of His creation and the promise of what is yet to come. We are grateful to walk alongside them as they begin their journey of learning, growing, and living out God’s purpose.
As Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
