👖❤ BIS Jeans Day Fundraiser for the Askew Family 🚨 You can still donate until the end of today! (Thursday) 🚨 Our hearts are heavy as we share the devastating news that Ryder Askew, one of our 6th-grade students, was involved in a tragic accident this past weekend in Texas while attending a soccer tournament with his family. Sadly, Ryder's mother, a beloved para at Legacy, and his grandmother did not survive the accident. Ryder is currently hospitalized at Dallas Children's Hospital with serious injuries and faces a long road to recovery.
