Legacy Extra-curricular Activities

"If a student has a sound academic background, good work habits, and the will to succeed, there will be no limit to the opportunities readily available to him in the continuation of his education." -Mae Carden

A Wide Range of Fun Learning Activities

Legacy provides a variety of academic and interest-based extra-curricular activities to enrich student learning and build student connectedness on campus.

Reading Programs

Two Legacy programs specifically promote reading for pleasure and comprehension. The Accelerated Reader program tracks student progress in comprehension after reading books at the designated reading levels. Students receive recognition for passing computerized quizzes and advancing reading levels.

The R.E.A.D. program (Read, Enjoy And Discover) is open to students in grades 1-8. Students document minutes they read outside of school and are rewarded with certificates, recognition, and prizes for their efforts.


Lunchtime Clubs

Legacy offers several seasonal lunchtime clubs to upper grade students. The Geography Club meets for eight weeks in the fall to explore different continents. The Science Olympiad Club gathers for eight weeks in the winter and prepares participants to enter the regional competition of the National Science Olympiad. The Java Book Club meets three in the spring to read, discuss and vote for books contending for the California Young Readers Medal. Additional clubs are available to middle school students.

Academic Contests

Legacy hosts four yearly contests to encourage academic pursuits:

The Speech Contest (3rd-8th grades)

Geography Bee (4th-8th grades)

Spelling Bee (2nd-8th grades)

Science Fair (2nd-8th grades)

All academic content participants receive certificates, while names of the top three students in each contest are engraved on trophies that are housed in the Legacy Trophy Case.

After School Classes

After school contract classes are available for students for an extra fee. Instrumental music lessons are taught by professional music instructors. These students form Legacy's orchestra which hosts formal performances during the year.
