This past week at Legacy many great things occurred on campus and off. We are very proud of our Legacy dancers who performed at Immerse Orlando and also performed a short Thriller routine in some classrooms. Friday started our Red Ribbon Week Spirit Week. Red Ribbon Week serves as a vehicle for communities and individuals to take a stand for the hopes and dreams of our children through a commitment to drug prevention, education and a personal commitment to live drug free lives. Red Ribbon Week is an alcohol, tobacco and other drug and violence prevention awareness campaign observed annually in October in the United States. Students say “No” to drugs and alcohol. We encourage our students to participate in our drug free spirit days this week.

You owe it to yourself to click on the quick video link above. It will brighten your day and we are only few days away from Halloween. From 'Thriller' our dance students are pictured performing as Vincent Price said . . .
"Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'all's neighborhood
And whomsoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse's shell"

They offer counseling programs, tutoring, employment skills, case management, senior activities, limited health services, and so much more.
Each NCF is made up of non-profit organizations, government agencies, churches and community groups working together to address the specific needs of the surrounding community. These organizations collaborate to provide intergenerational programs, services and activities that address the needs of the entire family. Most services are offered free of charge.
Each NCF is uniquely designed to address the needs of its surrounding community and offers flexible hours of service in a family-friendly and accessible location.

Colin Powell's 13 Rules of Leadership: |
|
|
Colin Powell was born in Harlem to West Indian immigrants. He grew up in the South Bronx. As an Army officer in Vietnam, he was decorated for bravery for saving three fellow soldiers from a burning helicopter. Powell rose through the ranks fast, and by the 1980s he was a general and became the first-ever black national security adviser, under Ronald Reagan. Colin Powell's impressive military and political career included achieving the rank of four-star general, chairman of the joint chiefs, national security adviser, and secretary of state. He passed away Monday, October 18, 2021 at age 84.
In his 2012 memoir, It Worked For Me: In Life and Leadership, Powell listed his 13 rules of leadership. We think these might also benefit our Jets while in middle school, during high school, while in college, and later in life.
1. It ain’t as bad as you think. It will look better in the morning.
2. Get mad, then get over it.
3. Avoid having your ego so close to your position that when your position falls, your ego goes with it.
4. It can be done!
5. Be careful what you choose.
6. Don’t let adverse facts stand in the way of a good decision.
7. You can’t make someone else’s choices.
8. Check small things.
9. Share credit.
10. Remain calm. Be kind.
11. Have a vision. Be demanding.
12. Don’t take counsel of your fears or naysayers.
13. Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.
