It’s that time of the year where we begin reflecting on all that we are Thankful for. We here at Legacy Academy are so Thankful for a great community of students, parents, teachers, staff and administration who are all focused on what’s best for children. Thank you so much for trusting your young people to our care. It is a privilege and honor to be a part of shaping the future of our nation with children of great character and academic strength. As we head into the holidays, it is hard to believe how quickly time has flown by! We want to make it a healthy winter for our students, so remember, if your student has had a temperature, has thrown up, or been on antibiotics for less than twenty-four hours, please keep them home.
News

Jeans may be worn with one of these shirts every Friday throughout the school year, but the shirts MUST be acquired through the Legacy Academy office (from Educational Outfitters).
