Scholar Induction | September 17
Join us on Thursday, September 17, at 6:30 p.m. in the Legacy Auditorium for one of our most treasured traditions, our Scholar Induction Ceremony.
During this special evening, new students will be welcomed into the Legacy journey, and students entering new levels will be inducted as Rookies, Protégés, Apprentices, and Scholars. Each step recognizes their continued growth in character, maturity, responsibility, and leadership. The evening culminates with our new Scholars accepting the call to lead by example and receiving their navy blazers and Scholar patches from their families.
This is a formal school event. All students are required to attend and must wear their formal uniform. For formal uniform guidelines, please reference the Student Handbook.
Grandparents Day Celebration
What a wonderful Grandparents Day at Legacy Academy! Our grandparents joined us for a special lunch featuring Ms. Gilmore’s delicious chicken Alfredo and enjoyed time gathered around the table with their grandchildren.
We were honored to serve and celebrate the grandparents who play such a meaningful role in the hearts and lives of our students. Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the day so special!
Green Eggs and Ham in PK!
After reading Dr. Seuss’s Green Eggs and Ham, Mrs. Jordan’s PK class brought the story to life by enjoying their very own green eggs and ham! Ms. Gilmore prepared the special meal, so even though the eggs were green, they were absolutely delicious! It was a fun way to celebrate reading and encourage students to try something new.
