In March, Sources of Strength took a field trip to Camp Tyler for their annual end-of-year retreat. Schools from all over the East Texas area were represented at the retreat. Students were grouped together and rotated through stations, where they did yoga, rock painting, team building exercises, and gaga ball. Students also got to meet other Sources of Strength Leaders and brainstorm for next year's meetings and activities.

Legacy student Nate Jennings was awarded yesterday with a scholarship from the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC). Nate's family, teachers, and Navy representatives filled the Legacy Media Center for a scholarship ceremony where Nate was awarded his scholarship check for $200,000. Nate is a model student at Legacy, involved in many clubs, as well as one of the drum majors. Nate will be heading to Texas A&M University next year while participating in the NROTC program.
The purpose of the Navy ROTC Program is to educate and train qualified young men and women for service as commissioned officers in the Navy's unrestricted line, the Navy Nurse Corps and the Marine Corps. As the largest single source of Navy and Marine Corps officers, the Navy ROTC Scholarship Program plays an important role in preparing mature young men and women for leadership and management positions in an increasingly technical Navy and Marine Corps.
Selected applicants for the Navy ROTC Scholarship Program are awarded scholarships through a highly competitive national selection process, and receive full tuition, books stipend, educational fees and other financial benefits or Room and Board at many of the country's leading colleges and universities. Upon graduation, midshipmen are commissioned as officers in the unrestricted line Naval Reserve or Marine Corps Reserve.
Legacy Band Director, Sam Labordus, was also recognized with an Outstanding Impact Educator award from the Navy. Jennings nominated Mr. Labordus as having a profound impact on his life. Mr. Labordus shared that as educators, we hope to make a difference in our students lives. Some times a students make a difference in ours, and that student is Nate Jennings for him.
Congratulations Nate! We are so proud and can't wait to see the big things you accomplish after Legacy!
