Parent/Guardian Social, MetroWest November 3, 2022

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the first of our regional parent/guardian socials of the year. Attendees enjoyed connecting with old friends, making new acquaintances, and finding community with one another. Thank you to Ronald and Jennifer Ash P’23 for hosting us!

Landmark Parents’ Association (LPA)

Parent-to-Parent Perspectives on LBLD

We loved having a robust parent and guardian attendance— both in person and virtually—for the Landmark Parents’ Association (LPA) Welcome Meeting in September.

The LPA’s first meeting of the school year featured a presentation by new Head of School Josh Clark on Understanding Dyslexia: Parent-to-Parent Perspectives on LBLD With poignant reflections and humorous stories, Josh shared insight into his own experiences growing up with dyslexia and how it influenced his struggle with and passion for education. Josh also reflected on his understanding of the science and research behind effective ways to educate children with an LBLD and how this has evolved over time. Josh and his wife, Melanie, are peers among our Landmark parent population with two children (ages 10 and 13) at our Elementary•Middle School.

LPA Staff Appreciation Events

Landmark High School faculty and staff enjoyed special treats for their LPA-sponsored Staff Appreciation event. Thank you to the many parents/guardians who donated delicious goodies, including a “make-your-own yogurt parfait” bar!

The EMS Meeting Room was transformed into a mini winter wonderland for the LPA Staff Appreciation Milkbreak in December. Everyone enjoyed delicious treats, including a sumptuous “hot cocoa” bar!

Landmark Cares September 24 – October 1

Our third annual Landmark Cares Week was a major success! This fall fundraising and school-spirit initiative was chock full of events and activities to promote a culture of philanthropy at the school, while also celebrating Landmark pride.

Thanks to the support from members of every facet of the Landmark community—current and past parents, alumni, faculty and staff, students, and friends—we exceeded our goal of $300,000, raising more than $324,000 to support Landmark School!

Landmark Cares Highlights

The spirited week included a multitude of fun events and initiatives, including:

LPA Kickoff Mixer

Nearly 100 parents—from brand new to veteran, gathered at Riversbend Restaurant in Essex. Thank you to the Bergeron Family P’30 for hosting us!

Attend an upcoming event!

School Spirit Days

Students at both campuses showed their Landmark pride by dressing in their finest “blue and gold” attire and were given fun pom poms to show their school spirit. A special pep rally was held at the High School as an opportunity for students, faculty, and staff to celebrate all that makes them proud to be a part of the Landmark community!

Homecoming: 5K Road Race & Fall Festival

The capstone event of the week, our annual Homecoming 5K Road Race & Fall Festival was a blast. Thank you to the student volunteers who cheered on 5K participants during the rainy morning.

Other fun Landmark Cares events included a community beach cleanup, campus BBQ lunches, EMS Movie & Dinner Night, a social media takeover, faculty and staff appreciation efforts, and an alumni soccer game.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to all who participated in Landmark Cares Week!
