Chelsie’s first period Anthropology students got to do an archeological dig in class this week. They searched for fossils, artifacts, and evidence in their individual dig sites and then recorded their findings. 

The English Department took an all day excursion to Snow College on Monday. Current Snow students gave a comprehensive tour of the campus. Students enjoyed the accessibility, convenience, and close knit feel of the campus. Others were fascinated by the programs, opportunities, and offerings that Snow gives students. Perhaps some of our Landmark Dragons will become Snow Badgers

A weirdough!

Read on for all you knead to know about Chef Molen's latest adventure as a culinary crustodian. In the food laboratory at Landmark, every student got a pizza the action. It was history in the baking as the students topped off a great week of learning. Enough with the cheesy puns. Any way you slice it, this activity was a success. Another one bites the crust!

Levi Savage recently interviewed social studies teacher Chelsey Ortega. Excerpts from their conversation can be found here:

Chelsie's Anthropology class and Cope and Emily's Biology classes took a field trip to the Natural History Museum of Utah last week. The students saw mummies, fossils, artifacts, specimens, and exhibits that expanded their knowledge about the world they now inhabit.

Cope and Emily took their Botany classes on a field trip to Red Butte Gardens on Friday. Despite the soggy weather, the scenery was beautiful!

Landmark's Career Specialist Sarah Call pulled together a fantastic career fair last week. The event had presenters from a variety of different careers, crafts, and trades. From phlebotomy to woodworking and finance to real estate there was something to interest anyone. Contact Sarah if you would like more information about some industries that are hiring right now. Good times and great opportunities await!  

Emily's Botany students got to dissect flowers last week. This lab involved students working in groups to identify the different parts of the flower on paper. After the preliminary work was completed, they got the scissors and cut in into the samples provided. Lastly, they examined their findings under the microscope.

Students in SueAnn's Leadership class are prepping for an extraordinary event later this month. There will be a Halloween dance and carnival at Landmark on Friday, October 29th. Ghoulish haunts, games, and music await you. Get it on your calendars and be there for a scary good time!

Students attended the honors awards assembly last week. Special recognition was given to those with exemplary attendance, grades, and behavior. The administration and counseling office handed out certificates and chocolate to the awardees. Congratulations to these students and their efforts to make it a great day to be a Dragon!
