Legacy Christian Academy's Annual Report for the 2022-2023 school year!
LETTER FROM LEGACY'S HEAD OF SCHOOL
LEGACY CHRISTIAN ACADEMY EXISTS TO EQUIP THE MIND AND DISCIPLE THE HEART OF EACH STUDENT FOR CHRIST-LIKE LIVING. LEGACY CHRISTIAN ACADEMY FULFILLS ITS MISSION THROUGH FOCUSING ON OUR 5 CORE VALUES:
Dear Legacy Family,
In the miraculous story of Joshua 3, the Israelites cross the Jordan River on dry ground and enter the Promised Land. Immediately, the Israelites are called to respond by memorializing the miracle. The LORD says, “Take twelve stones from the very place where the priests are standing in the middle of the Jordan. Carry them out and pile them up…” The 2022-23 school year was a year of memorializing the goodness of our God. At the start of the year, we gathered together as a community for the Ascending Together Campaign Kick Off, and in just eight months, God moved hearts to give $10,154,587. That is nothing short of a miracle. And so just as the Israelites, we gathered stones, one for each student. Students prayed together and wrote words inspired by the Psalms of Ascent on the memorial stones. We erected a stone monument that stood on the grounds of the future academic building. Then we broke ground on the construction site in the spring of 2023, and eventually each rock, along with a Bible, was laid in the foundation of the building. The 2022-23 school year was a remarkable year of God providing for Legacy Christian Academy through our 5-Year Strategic Plan, Courageous Faith: Magnifying God’s Sovereignty . I hope this Annual Report serves as a marker for God’s faithfulness and goodness as we continue to equip the minds of our students and disciple their hearts for the glory of our Lord.

We Fostered Christ-Centered Leadership Including…
MIDDLE SCHOOL CHAPEL LEADERS
SALT & LIGHT LEADERS IN HIGH SCHOOL
MINISTRY LEADERS
A high school Leadership Affinity Group partnered with Settled, a Christian non-profit that approaches local homelessness with a unique solution. The group had the opportunity to visit formerly homeless neighbors at a Sacred Settlement in Maplewood, and to come alongside this organization with a unique need, the Legacy community donated a total of 1,814 pairs of socks during Homecoming.
Over 50 middle school students volunteered to lead chapel through worship, scripture reading, chapel tech, greeting, or being a student speaker. In addition all 8 th grade students coordinated and led two chapel sessions as a part of their Spiritual Disciplines class.
Reanna Cruz ‘23, a Legacy hockey player on the Osseo/Park Center girls’ hockey co-op, felt equipped to pray over her coach and team after the loss of one of their teammates. Throughout the season, she was able to pray with her two linemates and explain elements of the gospel, planting powerful seeds of truth.
DURING THE HOCKEY SEASON, I TRIED TO BE A CONSTANT OF WHAT CHRIST LOOKS LIKE FOR MY TEAM.
MISSION TRIP LEADERS
BIBLE READING LEADERS
Legacy juniors prepared for the 2023 Jarabacoa, Dominican Republic Senior Mission Trip, the first mission trip to ever be included within Legacy’s tuition. Through Student International, the class of 2024 prepared for a unique site assignment from dentistry and microfinance to women’s social work with the intent to minister the gospel to those in need and better understand God’s heart for the nations.
REANNA CRUZ ‘23
During February’s “I Love to Read” Month, 91 elementary students read their Bibles at least 25 of the 28 days in the month.
DISCIPLESHIP LEADERS
41 % of our high school and 49 % of our middle school, totalling 179 students, were intentionally discipled by 23 staff mentors in weekly discipleship groups. Our high school juniors participating in a discipleship group also began training to lead their own middle school discipleship groups for the 2023-24 school year.

The Legacy Robotics team not only designs a robot each year but features an entire business team as well. At each regional competition, students submitted an essay, a video, and gave a presentation to a panel of judges, describing the outreach impact of Team 8516 in the community. In addition, the business team is tasked with being the liaison for the robotics sponsors, providing key team updates throughout the season, and following safety
MAP MATH TESTING
With intentional vertical alignment, implementation of the intervention math curriculum, leveraged W.I.N. (What I Need) group times, and classroom math coaching from Ann Erickson, the K-8 Math Intervention Specialist, our elementary MAP Math scores showed significant improvement. 1 st -4 th Grade MAP test scores were the highest they have been since the 2020 new norms, with 3 rd grade almost doubling their growth in just one year.

We Focused on Students This Year By Adding…
AN ELEMENTARY STUDENT LIFE COORDINATOR
ROAR DAYS
ELEMENTARY ATHLETICS
To provide an experience at the start of the school year that establishes a strong community supporting each other and building excitement for the year ahead, Legacy introduced ROAR Days – a fun week filled with a pep rally, dress up days, home sporting events, a boys’ volleyball game, and the long anticipated MANE EVENT! Not only were we able to honor spring teams and individual accomplishments from the previous school year, but we kicked off the school year with a fun week just for students!
The Legacy community welcomed two brand new opportunities for our students: a K-4 th grade Basketball League and a 3 rd -8 th grade Flag Football League. This is the first time in Legacy’s history that elementary athletics have been offered. BASKETBALL LEAGUE (K-4 th Grade): 113 Students 10 Teams FLAG FOOTBALL LEAGUE (3 rd -8 th Grade): 48 Students COACHES & OFFICIALS (High School Age): 10 Students
Allyson Mancuso’s role as the elementary Student Life Coordinator and Counselor gives students a space to talk and practice hands-on friendship and relationship skills with a biblical framework in one-on-one or small group settings.

LEADERSHIP AFFINITY GROUPS
A NEW PLAYGROUND
Students welcomed the new playground, gaga pits, and 9-square in the air for the 2022-23 school year. Every feature is designed specifically for students to jump, climb, spin, and swing. From motion to adventure, our students are able to engage and explore the world with their whole bodies because of the new playground.
High school Leadership Affinity Groups were launched to create pathways for every high school student to participate in leadership and service opportunities without demanding more time in our students’ already busy schedules, offering unique areas of involvement and providing organic discipleship for students in an area they are passionate about.
IT'S FUN TO DRESS UP. IT BREAKS THE ICE WITH ANY NEW CLASSMATES. I THINK THAT'S THE BIGGEST VALUE: NEW STUDENTS CAN SEE LEGACY IS A LOT OF FUN!

OUR COMMUNITY
The LIFTS PROGRAM was introduced to empower teachers new to teaching or new to Legacy to acclimate, assimilate, and grow within Legacy’s culture and expectations of teachers. The program pairs teachers with a mentor for the entire year as well as provides space to learn and grow professionally within the Legacy community.
The Admissions Office hosted both CLOTHING AND COFFEE CONNECTIONS this year as a way for parents to meet and connect. Clothing Connections were “new-to-you” Legacy Spiritwear events where families could drop off and shop donated, gently-used apparel. Coffee Connections were dedicated times for all PreK-12 th grade parents to gather and get to know each other better over a cup of coffee. The annual ELEMENTARY FIELD DAY welcomed the Legacy community for cheering and celebrating the athleticism of our students. The crowd was so big that about 180 pounds of Legacy Pit Master Mark Domino’s BBQ pork was eaten for lunch!
The annual 7 th and 8 th grade trip shifts to CAMP SHAMINEAU and becomes the highlight of the year for many students. In addition to the array of fun activities, community builders, and team events, many students were impacted by the chapel messages throughout the trip on Galatians 2:20, walking away with a greater sense of why they need to be in God’s Word and active participants in their faith. BECAUSE THERE WERE FEWER DISTRACTIONS AT SHAMINEAU, MY CLASS WAS ABLE TO ACTUALLY ENGAGE IN CONVERSATION WITH EACH OTHER AND GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER MORE.
OUR LEGACY BUSINESSES
Through our new BUSINESS SPONSORSHIP PACKAGES , Legacy partnered with families, alumni, and community business owners, providing an incredible opportunity for Legacy businesses to be known within our loyal community. Because of the generosity of our business partners, the 2022-23 Business Sponsorship program raised $90,000 toward the Legacy Fund, which elevates, expands, and enhances our student experiences.

The Legacy community is incredibly blessed by the parents who volunteer for Legacy Parent Association events and for the parents who meet weekly and monthly to pray over our students and staff by name. LEGACY PARENT ASSOCIATION 8 Committee Chairs 100 + Parent Volunteers MOMS AND DADS WHO PRAY 20 + Parents Our Kindergarten parent mentors brought together the entire grade for a unique Christmas Kindergarten Kraft Night along with several other class gatherings for the year. The auxiliary gym was converted into a Christmas wonderland with craft tables, dress-up Nativity scenes, and Christmas cookies. Families loved the time to connect and build community. KINDERGARTEN FAMILY CONNECTION TIMES
During the 2022-23 school year, Legacy welcomed 209 parent volunteers into our classrooms, hallways, and events to support our students and staff. Better yet, over 4,000 visitors signed in at the front office during the year, most of which were parents!
Legacy’s Day of Prayer commenced with a Prayer Walk around our campus led by Moms Who Pray and Dads Who Pray. Parents and grandparents were encouraged to sign up for time slots throughout the day, covering every minute with continuous prayer during the 12-hour prayer event. The Student Life Coordinators also provided Family Prayer Guides for all three division levels, encouraging families to come together for evening prayer. THE INTENTIONALITY OF THIS SCHOOL TO SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE PARENT INVOLVEMENT, ESPECIALLY IN SUCH A COMPLEX WORLD, SOLIDIFIED OUR DECISION AS A FAMILY
GO GUARDIAN
Middle school teachers piloted a new tool aimed at enhancing collaboration with parents while students learn how to properly utilize digital technology for its intended purposes. Go Guardian enables teachers to deploy project- specific content onto student Chromebooks, mirror screens across all devices, monitor student progress, and track home access to content. The Go Guardian safeguards apply even when the device is off-campus, giving parents the reassurance that a student can only use the device for its intended, academic purpose.

CAMPAIGN UPDATE
THE MIRACULOUS SUCCESS OF THE ASCENDING TOGETHER CAMPAIGN
I n the fall of 2022, the Legacy community gathered to hear the heart of the school and a vision to grow. Jake Mulvihill, the Head of School, and the Board presented the 2-year Ascending Together Campaign to raise $10.5M for the Legacy Fund, the New Academic Building, and Planned (Estate) Giving. God guided generous hearts to give in abundance, allowing for a groundbreaking ceremony during the spring of 2023 for the New Academic Building, opening spring of 2024. The New Academic Building, a 3-story 29,000 square foot building, will feature 12 state-of-the-art classrooms, including equipped science labs for middle school and an Engineering & Innovation Lab for high school as well. In addition to the $8.1M given to the New Academic Building, our community has also given $679,587 to the annual Legacy Fund to elevate, expand, and enhance student experiences beyond what tuition alone can provide. Many families also felt called to support the Endowment fund through estate gifts, committing $1.375M to support the long-term financial strength and sustainability of Legacy. What an incredible year of witnessing God work in the hearts of the Legacy community. The walls are now up, the concrete has been poured, and the New Academic Building stands as a testament to the generosity of Legacy and our good God.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A ROADIE
LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
S ince high school at Legacy, Lauren Steffen ‘18 dreamed of one day moving to Nashville and working in the music industry. God
Lauren started the job by managing one of the merchandise booths for the TobyMac Hits Deep Tour in January of 2023. Her dreams were beginning to take shape.
DEAR LEGACY FAMILIES,
BRIAN BOVEE Chair
When the people of Israel crossed the Jordan river into the Promised Land, Moses instructed them to “build an altar to the Lord your God, an altar of stones” - Deuteronomy 27:5. Altars were used by the Jewish people to remember God’s promises and faithfulness, and so it is no coincidence that we have laid stones that our students wrote on and prayed over under the foundation of our newest middle school education wing that is rising up on our campus as I type this letter. God has promised to be faithful IF we stay within His will and that is at the center of everything we do as a Board here at Legacy Christian Academy. As a leadership team, we have witnessed that truth in times of scarcity and uncertainty, and we have witnessed that truth in times of provision and harvest. It gives us the conviction to do our best to continue to seek His will and follow His ways as a school and as a community. There are so many exciting things going on at our school that could only be explained by the hand of God upon us and the faithfulness and obedience of His people... you, the students, families, and community of Legacy Christian Academy. So please join us in remembering God’s faithfulness to our school and to give Him all the praise and honor for the amazing school and community He has blessed us with at Legacy Christian Academy.

her good friends and fellow Legacy Alumni, Cali Weddle ‘17, mentioned a job opening at the merchandise company she worked for. This company manages all aspects of merchandise for many Contemporary Christian artists: from accounting, to inventory, to being on the road with the artist. Lauren decided to take the leap for her first job in the music industry. But God saw Lauren’s dreams as an opportunity for her to grow within Christian community while also stepping out of her comfort zone.

Lauren is forever grateful for the friendships developed during her time at Legacy and the relationships that have grown since graduating. Thanks to the connections that Legacy fostered like Cali, Lauren’s God-given dreams are coming true. “Touring with TobyMac pushed me out of my comfort zone. It was something completely new and unexpected. Something I thought was not even possible, was happening.”
