The countdown to Winter Break continues. I want to thank all our Jets for a great testing week. We all persevered through the modified bell schedules and various tests taken throughout the week. We started the week with our PLTW students attending a field trip to Lockheed Martin, which I had the honor of also attending for a short time with them. Due to the security at Lockheed, photos were not allowed to be taken. Thursday our dance students had their festive holiday showcase and they had stellar performances.
With only five more days left in the semester it is important that students are turning in all their missing work. Please check Skyward to see what needs to be submitted. If students missed an assessment last week, make ups will be occurring this week.
Book bags will not be permitted on campus the last three days of the week, starting on Wednesday, 12/14. Students may elect to bring small bags or purses to carry personal items, but no book bags. Students are expected to carry their laptops and chargers with them to school. For those new to Legacy, this system mitigates unnecessary issues from arising.
To accommodate attendance for our orchestra concert on Tuesday evening and allow time for families that wish to attend, SAC will be held at 5PM in the media center, and PTSA will be held at 7PM in the media center following the orchestra concert. We look forward to seeing everyone at Legacy on Tuesday evening!

WISDOM TO LIVE BY
We close this week's edition with a few words of wisdom about Christmas, including thoughts about gift-giving, generosity, commercialism and keeping the true holiday spirit.

The Grinch On Christmas
Maybe Christmas doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.
~ The Grinch who has spent the past 53 years living in seclusion on a cliff, overlooking the town of Whoville
Mother Theresa On Generosity
It’s not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.
~ Mother Theresa, Roman Catholic nun dedicated to helping the poor
Andy Rooney On Gifts
One of the most glorious messes in the world is the mess created in the living room on Christmas Day. Don't clean it up too quickly.
~ Andy Rooney, journalist
Buddy the Elf On Character
There’s room for everyone on the Nice List!
~ Buddy the Elf, eccentric human raised by Santa's elves
Ferber On Holiday Spirit
Christmas isn't a season. It's a feeling.
