LEGASC
LEGASC (pronounced legacy) stands for Leading & Educating Generations Across Schools and Communities. LEGASC is a non-profit organization established in 2010 as a developmental girls program. Today, LEGASC has been rebranded to support EVERYONE involved in the development of our community and their children, not only young women.
The legendary Rita Pierson stated, "Every child deserves a champion-an adult that understands the power of connection and insist they become the best they can be.

Who Do We Serve?
Midland Students
Helping children learn best involves identifying students who may need extra help, developing programs for struggling students, and even creating new learning methods. Meeting the whole child's needs means providing for their physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development. We want to assist with creating a safe and supportive environment, fostering positive relationships with peers and adults, promoting healthy habits and behaviors, and engaging in activities that stimulate intellectual curiosity and creativity.
Midland Parents
LEGASC will assist parents to meet the needs of their child by helping them to creating a supportive and nurturing home environment, providing healthy meals and exercise, encouraging positive relationships with peers and adults, fostering a love of learning, and address any mental health concerns. It also includes recognizing and respecting the unique strengths and challenges of their child, and helping them develop the skills and resilience needed to navigate life's ups and downs.
Midland Educators
Our organization will help equip educators with the tools to help create a nurturing classroom environment that promotes positive relationships and encourage student engagement. They also use a variety of instructional strategies that cater to different learning styles and abilities, providing opportunities for hands-on learning and collaboration. Additionally, help to support the development of students' social and emotional skills by modeling the SEL core competencies and providing opportunities for students to practice problem solving and conflict resolution.
