Legend Wish Week - Coming Soon! 
We are SO excited to join the Legend Feeder community to raise funds for our Feeder "Wish Week"! This year, we will have 3 contests within our school to support the raising of funds for our Wish recipient: the grade level who raises  the most funds, the class that raises the most funds AND the student that raises the most funds. Winners of each contest will win:

Grade Level Winner: Popcorn Party

Class Winner: Pizza Party

Student Winner: Principal for 1/2 Day and Lunch

We will be tracking student donations to determine prize winners. Donations will be collected beginning February 13th and ending February 20th. Donations can be made by cash or check (made out to Legend High School with "Wish Week" in the Memo Section). 

We will also be selling Wish Week shirts for $20 - all funds will go to support our Wish Week recipient. Students who buy shirts will receive 10 free tickets to use at the Feeder School Festival on Feb 15 as well as free entrance to the Escape Room Extravaganza on Feb 20th. 

Babysitting services will be provided on Valentine's Day from 5:00-9:30pm at Legend sponsored by our DECA.  There will be station rotations to include crafts, dinner, dance off, gym time, etc.  You will receive a flyer tomorrow to use for your families. Cost is $25 per kid for all 4.5 hours. Great fun and Great deal. Ages are Pre-school and up! Tell your families!

 

The Feeder School Festival will be held at Cimarron Middle School on Sat Feb 15 from 4pm-6pm. This is a carnival-type atmosphere where kids can play games sponsored by clubs, activities, and athletics at Legend. Tickets are 2/$1 and can be purchased at the festival.  There will also be food and drink for purchase. Kids wearing Wish Week shirts will receive 10 free tickets!

Thank you for your support in helping us ensure that all of our students are warm and safe during cold weather!

Parking Lot:
As we are entering the second semester, we'd like to remind you of the rules governing the parking lot area. 
 - Please pull all the way forward in the pick up/drop off line

 - Please do not exit your vehicle if dropping off or picking up - students should be able to get in and out on their own
 - There is no drop off in the parking lots
 - Please lower your speed when in the parking lot to avoid accidents
 - No cell phone use in the parking lot areas or drop off/pick up line
 - Please obey all staff directions
Failure to obey these guidelines can result in the revocation of the ability to utilize the parking lot and pick up/drop off lines.
