Landmark Cares Week: Creating Moments that Matter

Thank you to all of the parents, students, alumni, families, faculty/staff, and friends for showing up in such a monumental way to support our school during Landmark Cares Week! It was wonderful to see so many members of our community come together to show how much they care about Landmark during our fall fundraising and school spirit initiative. We are delighted to share that thanks to you and your generous support, we surpassed our $275,000 fundraising goal, raising more than $277,000!

5K runners at Landmark Homecoming

Homecoming: 5K/1K Road Races and Fall Festival

A little rain can’t dampen the Landmark spirit! Despite rainy skies, we had a great turnout at this fun, family-friendly event, with more than 125 runners registered to participate in our two races. The morning also included activities and games, featuring pony rides and an inflatable that quickly turned into a slip-and-slide! The event closed out with a community lunch for all. Thanks to all who came out to support. 

Cares Monday funday

Monday Funday 

Our two campuses were transformed into a vibrant canvas for students and faculty to discover on Monday morning, with messages of encouragement, positivity, and Viking spirit splashed all over two campuses (thanks to some “elves!”). This day also included special treats at lunch for our students.

Spirit Day 

Our campuses were bustling with excited energy on our Spirit Day. All students were given their very-own Vikings rally towel. EMS students enjoyed a riveting special assembly featuring professional BMX athlete Mannie Nogueira, who shared messages of perseverance, friendship, and anti-bullying all while performing slick tricks on his bike. High School students participated in a lively pep rally, followed by delicious cake!

Broudo Awards and Faculty/Staff Appreciation 

On our Cares Week day dedicated to celebrating our faculty, we recognized the inaugural cohort of the Bob Broudo Excellence in Service Awards. The purpose of the Broudo Awards is to recognize the skill and dedication of Landmark staff and provide monetary bonuses to those reaching milestone years of service to the School. Read more and see the full listing of our first round of recipients. Thank you to the many donors who established the endowment for these awards as part of Landmark School’s 50 Forward Campaign. 

We also wanted to pay a special thank you to all of our staff with a small gift - a carabiner containing a compass, because our faculty are so wonderful at guiding our students where they need to go!

Snack Bags for Bootstraps

Our community stepped up to support more than just Landmark School during this special week. Thank you to our families who contributed more than 1,000 snacks to this effort and to the EMS and High School students who volunteered their time to put the bags together for children experiencing food insecurity in our local community. Thanks to you, we donated more than 200 fully assembled snack bags to children in need!

On what can only be described as a perfect Friday evening, we were heart-warmed to see so many families enjoy pizza and community in the EMS courtyard for what has become a beloved campus tradition.
