Hello Legacy Community!

As the holidays quickly approach, we’re working to support our Legacy families in need. We invite you to spread some holiday cheer by contributing to our efforts. Starting Friday, November 22nd, you’ll find a Holiday Giving Tree in the front lobby, decorated with wishes and needs from our families.

Additionally, we’ve created an Amazon Wish List for your convenience, which you can access here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/23N67DC75C6WP?ref_=wl_share.

Please return all unwrapped gifts, along with their tags, to the front office (Attention: Brenda Sheridan, Family Liaison) by December 13th.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity this holiday season!

Warmly,

Brenda

Legacy’s December STEM challenge has arrived! This month, we have two exciting challenges for you. One is designed for primary students and the other for upper elementary, but feel free to choose whichever you prefer! Using only the provided supplies, you can either design a snowball launcher or you can complete the sleigh engineering challenge! Additional extension ideas are included. Have fun and share your results with logan.mcintosh@lcps.org!

December STEM Challenge Project Details

The Golden Paw Award is recognition given to students who consistently demonstrate exemplary behavior and serve as role models to their peers. We are thrilled to highlight the outstanding students who have earned this honor. Their dedication to kindness, leadership, and positivity enriches our school community.

• Legacy's Got Talent was created by one of our amazing students that came up with an idea and we are help her make it a reality! Thank you to Carla B. for all of your hard work and creativity!
• Legacy Elementary is excited to have a talent show this year to showcase all of our amazing students with their amazing talents! Please know that we have adjusted our Multicultural Night and we will not be having a talent show at the end of the evening because it was difficult to have enough time for everyone to share their talents!
• Talent Show contract and sign-up form will be sent home in take-home folders on 12/02/24 and are due by 12/16/24. Late sign ups will not be accepted after Winter Break.
• If your performance includes a song (whether you are singing or it is playing in the background) a printed version of the lyrics (in English) must be turned in with the contract/sign-up form.
• Rehearsal Dates: 01/30/25, 02/05/25, 02/12/25, 02/19/25
• Students must attend every rehearsal in order to perform
• Performances can include, but are not limited to: singing, dancing, stand-up comedy, karate, juggling, playing a musical instrument, gymnastics

Our team is excited to plan and produce new episodes each month. In our first episode of the year, we highlight our school goals of enhancing critical thinking and collaboration skills. This clip features our podcast team members sharing their perspectives on these essential life skills, along with tips for being effective collaborators and critical thinkers. We hope you enjoy it! Stay tuned for future releases right here on Legacy Living.
