What we learned: Botany
Matt's Botany classes took a field trip to Red Butte Gardens this fall and learned about native plants and how best to use them in landscaping.

This fall in Cope's Botany classes, students learned about different plants, made a layout, and selected appropriate plants to fill in some areas around the school. They worked hard and did a great job!
Landmark works to instill 5 Vital Behaviors that will keep our students on the pathway to success, no matter what they choose to do with their lives. To promote these behaviors, we award Student of the Month accolades to 5 students who have excelled at one or more of these behaviors.
For the month of November those students are the following:
With the implementation of our electronics policy, teachers have had more time for instruction, yes. BUT, just like at other schools, Landmark students do end up with downtime in class every once in a while. The Social Studies department has taken this time for some fun; usually involving games and prizes. These prizes are often in the form of candy. Sometimes, however, students are lucky enough to win a crocheted figurine (amigurumi). Sue and Chelsie make them and the students win them (and love them!).
