Dear Parents,
Seeing the Legacy Academy children smiling through their school day is excellent. It is a great honor to impact your children through education and character development. Thank you for choosing Legacy Academy.
Fall is here, and the weather can change rapidly. Please ensure your children have their jackets and coats. Remember to put their last name inside so they can find them easily if they misplace it during the school day.
