๐Happy National School Choice Week! ๐
What is School Choice, and why is it important? Check out the video below!
What is School Choice? | Education | You're probably hearing the term "school choice" a lot these days, and we want to talk about what school choice is and what it is not. What school choice is:...
Mark your calendars, because you're invited!
WHAT: An evening full of festive family fun! Bring your family and some blankets and chairs to sit on, and enjoy Christmas read alouds, a hot cocoa bar, and a Christmas movie.
WHO: All LFCS students and families, including Freedom Academy
WHEN: This Friday, December 3rd, from 6:00-8:30 PM
WHERE: At the Junior Academy campus lawn, 1012 E Bradley Ave, El Cajon, CA 92021
Hope to see you there!
Letโs flood social media with our love of LFCS! Share this photo, or make it your profile pic for the week!
Dear LFCS community,
This week LFCS will be before the SDCOE Board of Education for two public hearings. One for our charter renewal, which must occur every 5 years so that we can continue on and the second to add the new address of our one day โbuiltโ high school. We are hopeful that this project will start during the new charter term, so we must add the new address to the charter. This is the most sensitive issue we will deal with because of the opposition to the project by some outsiders. Getting this address added to the charter is a necessity for our project to move forward.
Unlike in years past, where we all gathered and stuffed ourselves into the board room, this year will all be done via zoom meetings.
WE need you to be a part of this meeting just like we needed you to be present at the County meetings in person in years past! . We also need you to provide comments, both written and in person.
Written comments may be submitted up to the meeting day. Comments in person may be made but there is a process for this. All live public comment requests must be submitted no later than 12 p.m. (noon) on the day of the meeting to allow for SDCOE staff to distribute call-in information to individual speakers.
I am including all of this information in this email so that you can all participate.
Public comments both written or live may be submitted/requested here: https://www.sdcoe.net/public-comment
WHO: All TK - 8th grade LFCS families
WHAT: Jog4Tech fundraiser. We are raising money for our ongoing technology needs, and celebrating together with a jogging event!
WHERE: Each campus will host their own jogging events, and money is collected online through pledgestar.com/patriotlegacy
WHEN: Prizes will be awarded for any money given between Feb 1st-28th. Jogging will happen the week of Feb 22nd.
WHY: Access to up to date technology is one of the key factors that sets LFCS apart from neighborhood schools. From replacing old Chromebook for students to check out for home use, to teacher laptops, new software programs and online subscriptions....technology is an unending expense our school faces everyday.
HOW: Your family can send 'Pledge Requests' (an email to friends and family) asking for donations. All you do is enter their email addresses, or select them from your contacts, and a letter is automatically generated and sent on your behalf. Your family can respond by donating through Paypal, or by mailing a check to the school. They can even leave you an encouraging message. You can share your request on social media, and get even more donations!
Or, you can complete the family buyout at https://store.patriotlegacy.org/. You can buy your T-shirts there as well!!
Even more details to follow in February Newsletter!

Well honestly, some days just donโt go as planned and thatโs the beauty of homeschool. We have the flexibility to space out our learning throughout the day as needed. A typical day begins at 9am with a break for lunch around noon and then finishing our last core subject after lunch.

Cooking is actually one of my favorite things to do- I love making meals for my family and friends. I'm a quirky chef in that I like having recipes as a guide but rarely ever measure and typically add or change ingredients often, so I don't think I will ever be known for writing a cookbook ;) Our trip to Italy a few years back really left an impression on me, so now I love to recreate some of our favorite meals from there- seafood pasta with a white lemon sauce is one my absolute favs!
