Mary Jane Warner, beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, teacher, and friend passed away March 12, 2022. Mary Jane taught in the Nebo School District for 28 years. The majority of her career was at Legacy, a school for young mothers. She taught Foods, Interior Design, Health, and Special Education; she managed their library and was the director of their in-school day care program.
Students had the opportunity to hear from Stephanie B., who graduated from Legacy in 2017 with five kids. She described herself as a “recovering quitter.” She shared her story of getting pregnant as a teen, trying an alternative school setting, and quitting to get a job. Over the next 20 years, she worked many entry-level jobs for minimum wage. During that time, she tried to get her GED and quit, she tried to complete packets for school credit, but gave up.
There will be no school on Wednesday, March 9, 2022. March 9 is a planning day for our educators.
Our sewing class focused on learning quilting techniques. There are new terms, learning about fabrics, using a 1/4" seam allowance (instead of a 5/8" seam allowance for constructing clothing), developing rotary cutting skills, and piecing techniques. It is "SEW" exciting to be a Crusader!
In Nebo School District there will be no school on Monday, February 28, 2022. That day will be a planning day for our educators. This should allow teachers and staff to get caught up on final preparations for the end of third term and to prepare for fourth term.
Thursday, February 24, 2022 - 3:00 – 6:00p.m. Legacy provides unique opportunities during Parent-Teacher Conference time. Beyond communicating progress, grades and missing assignments, students are able to use the time as an intervention period to get help making up unfinished work. In addition to this assistance, for each hour students attend the conferences, they are able to reverse an unexcused absence, up to three.
Remember, in observance of President's Day, there will be no school Monday, February 21, 2022. See you Tuesday!
Sharing the love! Legacy has a tradition of making sugar cookies for Valentine's Day. This year we split the activity into three days. On day one we made the dough. The second day we rolled out the dough, cut out heart-shaped cookies and baked them. On the third day we frosted and decorated the cookies. Everyone went home with at least one heaping plate of cookies for their friends and family. We also had a lovely lunch together of soup, salad and breadsticks! It was a lovely day to be a Crusader!
We were able to experience something remarkable thanks to generous donors who made this field trip possible. We were able to visit Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience. Mrs. Kristi Murdock shared her knowledge of Vincent Van Gogh with us prior to our trip and gave us some background information. He is considered to be one of the best Post-Impressionist painters. Van Gogh is known for his use of color and bold, dramatic brush strokes which expressed emotion and added a feeling of movement to his works. This exhibit used projection to make the artwork come alive.
