Athena, Hermes, Poseidon, Zeus. These Greek gods were rulers du jour at this year's annual Landmark Elementary•Middle School Literary Day. Percy Jackson and the Olympians, by Rick Riordan, provided the theme for this festive, substantive, and rollicking day of friendly competition fueled by Landmark's core values: Exploration, Character, and Empowerment. Each house took on the identity of a Greek god featured in the seven books in the series. Occidens House (Athena), Oriens House (Hermes), Meridies House (Zeus), Septentrio (Poseidon). Teams of students, faculty, and staff earned points for spirit, teamwork, encouragement, and effort. Athena (Occidens) ruled the day as this year's Keeper's Cup victors. 

As Percy says in the books, "What belongs to the sea will always return to the sea." Next year, we'll be right back at it on our seaside campus with yet another memorable Literary Day.

Until then, thank you to the EMS teachers, administrators, and staff who made this day one we'll never forget.
