In celebration of American Education Week, each November schools invite business and civic leaders into the classrooms in a fun and engaging way -- to talk with students about academics, careers and the future.

Additional info: Some volunteers read books to pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten students. Some teach practical, personal skills to high school students such as managing a checking account and using credit cards wisely. Others involve entire middle school classes in projects like a mock election. Some give demonstrations using musical instruments or scientific equipment. You can read a book; share an educational experience or your career; talk about a favorite vacation, hobby, or how a special teacher touched your life. Whatever your skills, no matter your topic, there is a classroom of students waiting to hear from you!

On Thursday, November 18th Legacy will be holding its first schoolwide Legacy Writes of the school year. We are holding in an effort to prepare our students for FSA Writes in the spring. This mock writing test will provide valuable information to teachers to assist them with their writing skills.

On Monday, November 8th our students played a home against Arbor Ridge Middle School. Both our boys and girls teams won! On Wednesday they played an away game against Avalon Middle School and they fought hard. We now only have two games left in the regular season and both are this week:

Please donate to the "Legacy Cares" Food and Clothing School Pantry through Amazon. It's a simple way to support our school's charity. The list of support items needed are directly on Amazon - just select "Legacy Cares" for Legacy Middle School. Use the link below to directly connect. Purchased items can be directly shipped to the school by simply selecting "Legacy Middle School Registry Address" at checkout.

Additionally, you can also support the Legacy PTSA at anytime by shopping at Amazon! Legacy PTSA is officially registered as a charity option with Amazon Smile. Below is our unique link for people to select us as their charity. The key is when shopping on Amazon you have to go through the AmazonSmile site (smile.amazon.com), not just Amazon.com - but there is no difference; your account is still there. You can bookmark AmazonSmile to make it easier. By doing this, your eligible purchases will support the "Legacy Cares" Food and Clothing Pantry.

On Tuesday, some members of the Legacy Dance classes participated in a Dance Performance Assessment at the Dr. Phillips Center. Students participated in dance classes, received feedback, rehearsed and performed all at the Dr. Phillips Center. What a great opportunity for our students. We are so proud of our Jets for their hard work. Thank you Ms. Perez for all you do with our students to inspire their love of dance!

TeachFX is a tool that teachers are starting to use in their classroom to see teacher talk vs. student talk. All teachers were trained on this powerful tool that empowers teachers with feedback on student engagement. Below is a beautiful graphic that was generated from a class on campus this week. It’s clear to see that students took ownership of their learning!

Legacy students have the opportunity to receive a flu shot on campus on Wednesday, November 17th. In order to receive students must have a consent form turned in. You can find the parent letter and consent on our school website: https://legacyms.ocps.net/news/flu_shot_clinic and also the Canvas Inbox.

The assistance that we receive most afternoons with dismissal from the Orange County Sheriff's Office to prolong the green light is a courtesy that may not always be available to us at dismissal. Ostensibly, our concerns regarding the traffic light are being addressed by Orange County Traffic and Engineering. As this is the case, I ask that you be patient and mindful when driving on campus. We have seen several fender bender accidents take place at dismissal, and we certainly do not want anyone leaving campus with vehicular damage.

Also, please be mindful that it is against the law to text and drive. I ask that you put your phone down while driving on and off campus.

Lastly, when arriving on campus in the afternoon, please do not drive to the car rider exit, and reverse your car to be first in line. This presents both a common sense and safety issue for all involved.

On Friday, November 5th students who met their AR (Accelerated Reader) goal for Quarter 1 enjoyed a sweet Jeremiah’s Ice Party at the end of the school day. Students read and had to earn 25 AR points in order to receive the invite. Students also received a certificate for their accomplishment. Go Jet readers!

With the middle of the school year testing fast approaching we reached out to our Partners in Education for incentives to encourage Legacy students to do their best on all their tests. Chick-fil-A Waterford Lakes Town Center donated 300 incentive cards as incentives for testing. We wanted to give a huge thank you to them!

We celebrated our Quarter 1 “A” Honor Roll students and their families with a morning breakfast and an amazing performance by the University High School drumline! We had 77 students earn a 4.0 GPA during quarter 1. Keep up the great work Jets!

Congrats to our winners of the Spanish Spelling Bee! Thank you Ms. Zayas for hosting an outstanding Spelling Bee competition!

John and Sarah will move on to compete in the Virtual District Spanish Spelling Bee.

The Latinos in Action will be conducting a Spanish/ bilingual book drive to send to an orphanage in Guatemala, during the whole month of November. Please start bringing books for children as soon as possible to room 808.
