Warrior Day -- Friday, September 27

Warrior Day is September 27th!

This school-wide, all-day event consists of friendly competitions between navy and white teams, pizza for lunch, and fun time spent together as Warriors!  Students will receive their Warrior Day shirts at the end of the day on Thursday, the 26th. Students should not cut or alter their shirts in any way.  They should wear their shirt to school on Friday with their usual uniform bottoms. Students are permitted to show their warrior spirit by painting their faces or using temporary hair color!


We need parent volunteers to help things run smoothly. Volunteers will be asked to serve lunch, monitor games, manage small groups of students, and join in the fun! If you are available to help at any time on this day email Lynette.Gilmore@legacymail.org or call the office.

Go Warriors!

Athletic Booster Sponsors

Parents and Friends,

The athletic seasons are upon us and we need your help contacting local businesses to help support our programs. Booster sponsor information is available here.


If you have any questions, contact Mr. Smallwood.


Scholar Induction

We had a great night on Thursday celebrating Scholar Induction and having our students set in as Rookies, Protégés, Apprentices and Scholars. We are so thankful to have a school community that values the heart values above all else and that celebrates young men and women upholding these standards in their daily lives.



4-H Sign-Up

On Wednesday, the first 4-H meeting of the year was held in the cafeteria. Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Bartek for hosting these!


If you would like to sign your child up for Legacy 4-H, please use this link or the QR code below. This way, you can be kept up-to-date with all the latest information and happenings for 4-H!



Athletics

Lower Level PE

Attention Lower Level Parents: We are two weeks into the school year and need to remind our parents of the need for all students to have dedicated non-marking athletic shoes for gym floor use only. These are needed for their PE periods 3-4 days a week and are left in the gym. This is highlighted on a chart on page 31 of our handbook. If you have any questions, contact the office for answers.


Bus Drivers

We are in need of help to drive the bus for the upcoming year. If you are interested in helping with this, please let Mr. Smallwood know (tim.smallwood@legacymail.org). Legacy Academy will cover the cost of the CDL exam and a small stipend for driving is available.


Cross Country

Practices:

M 9/23 6:30am

Th 9/26 6:30am


Meet Schedule:

All meets will be for all teams -- JG, JB, SG, SB.

  • Tu 9/24 -- Mena

  • Tu 10/8 -- Nashville

  • Tu 10/15 -- Waldron

  • Fr 10/25 -- HCAA State Meet, Fort Smith


Basketball Practice

Regular Practice Schedule:

All Basketball practices will happen after school this year.

All four teams (JG, JB, SG, SB) will practice from 3-5p M, Th, F this week. There is no practice on Tuesday due to the XC meet. If you are on the SG or SB team and not running XC, see Coach Gallagher for your after-school workout schedule on Tuesday.

Senior Teams only will practice on Wednesdays 3-5p. Junior teams will not practice on Wednesdays.


Special team workouts and other special events will be announced in advance.


Athletes should only miss a practice for an excused absence by discussing directly with a Coach. Team sports have a difficult time building successfully when players skip practice. It isn't fair to their teammates or their coaches.


Once games begin, we will lose game-day practices.


OTTER BASKETBALL WORKOUT 9/28-29

Elite Basketball Trainer Jason Otter will be with us on Saturday 9/28 and Sunday afternoon 9/29 for basketball workouts. All Senior and Junior High team members for boys and girls should plan to attend. The session will begin at 8 am Saturday and 230 pm Sunday. There is no cost for team members, which is a tremendous bargain for players and their development.


Curriculum Fees -- Past Due

Parents, as we are getting ready to start the new school year, we want to remind you that the curriculum fee was due August 15. Curriculum fees must be paid ASAP.


K-12 -- $200

Pre-K -- $100


You can pay it online (K-12 or Pre-K) or come by the office.
