Get togethers

Throughout the year the Senior Council hosts a variety of events that give seniors the opportunity to spend time together as a class. These events change each year. Here's a sampling of past events:

  • Senior Sunset
  • Senior Sunrise
  • Car washes
  • BBQs
  • Bonfires
  • Holiday dinners
  • Donut Wednesday
  • Senior auction

Seniors will be notified of events throughout the year and are encouraged to participate in as many events as possible. Most of these events are free.

Senior Trip

Each spring, the senior class departs from the Northern Atlantic to warmer climates in sunny Orlando, Florida, for four days of exhilarating fun. This year's senior trip will be April 11-15, 2024.

The trip to Orlando is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel together, visit four theme parks, and participate in Universal Studios “Grad Bash”. Universal opens its doors to graduating classes from all over the country to enjoy amazing DJs, award-winning entertainers, and the thrill of rides until 3:00 a.m. Seniors are encouraged to participate in this senior-only event. 

Cost
The cost of the senior trip to Disney and Universal Studios is $1,410 for a quad occupancy room. It is important to note that meals are not included in the price of the trip; however, airfare, hotel, liability insurance, multiple park tickets, and coach bus transportation are included. The payment schedule is below:

  1. Registration form and the initial non-refundable deposit of $310.00 is due by September 15, 2023. 

  2. The second installment of $300.00 is due on October 4, 2023.
  3. The third payment of $300.00 is due November 16, 2023.
  4. The final payment of $500 or remaining balance is due January 10, 2024. 
Please get this form back to Landmark by September 15, 2023 so we can get the documentation to the travel agency by the due date.
 
 
Please send the enrollment form and checks made out to Landmark Senior Class to: 

    Landmark School
    Attn: Carissa Neal
    P.O. Box 227
    Prides Crossing, MA 10965

Trip insurance can be purchased through Allianz Travel a third-party service. Please take the time to read the fine print.
 
Independence
It is important to note that this is a time for members of the senior class to demonstrate their independence and healthy decision-making. During the trip, students will be in contact with chaperones at all times via cell phone; however, they will be given liberal freedom in the Disney Parks and the hotel. Regular attendance will be taken via photo texts during the entire time we are in theme parks. Chaperones will always be available to the students; however, students will not be physically with chaperones at all times. If your student takes medication, they will receive their medication from the health center prior to the trip and will be responsible for taking this independently. If you feel your senior needs direct supervision, this is not the best travel opportunity for them. All policies of Landmark School will be in effect throughout this school-sponsored event, and should a violation occur, students may be sent home at the parental/guardian’s expense. 
Prom

For many, prom is the most memorable night of senior year. Each senior is allowed two tickets—one for themselves and one for a guest. This event will be hosted by the senior council.
