There are many dining choices in Las Vegas but only one at 7,717 feet elevation at the top of the

mountain in Kyle Canyon’s Humboldt Toiyabe National Forest.

Here, the attraction is Mother Na-ture with spectacular mountain peak views. The menu features local favor-ites. The lounge serves Mt. Charleston coffee and hot chocolate.

The Lodge takes on a more eloquent ambiance in the evening with candle-light dining. The aroma and sounds of a crackling fire greet Mount Charles-ton Lodge patrons, at the top of the mountain in Las Vegas, Nevada.

At 7,717 feet elevation, temperatures generally average 30 degrees cooler in the Humboldt Toiyabe National For-est’s Kyle Canyon than in the Las Vegas

valley. Surrounded by juniper, moun-tain mahogany, aspen, and ponderosa pine trees, nature is all around you.Mt. Charleston LodgeWhere: 5375 Kyle Canyon Rd, Las Vegas, NV (end of Kyle Canyon Rd)When: Open Sun-Thur: 8am-8pm, Fri-Sat: 8am-9pm

After more than a decade of academic success in Arizona, Legacy Traditional Schools is making its mark in Nevada with two – soon to be three – campuses across Las Vegas and Henderson.

In 2017 Legacy Traditional Schools opened its doors in Nevada at its North Las Vegas campus (North Valley). Their Henderson campus (Cadence), located in the Cadence Masterplan community, opened this past fall. Legacy is now accepting applications for its enrollment lottery at all three campuses, including its third – set to open for the 2019-20 school year in southwest Las Vegas.

“Legacy Traditional Schools have a track record of academic achievement and parent satisfaction,” said Candyce Farthing, superintendent of Legacy Traditional Schools in Nevada. “We’re excited to meet the demand for school choice in the greater Las Vegas area while providing parents and students with the opportunity to experience Legacy’s back-to-basics, well-rounded approach to learning – and our commitment to developing strong character.”

Legacy says their strong academics and traditional values would not be possible without their community of engaged parents and dedicated staff. Every Legacy Traditional Schools campus features a rigorous curriculum that emphasizes all areas of academic study, including the arts, computers, science, and

Spanish, underlying their mission to build lifelong learners and good citizens.

Outside of the classroom, Legacy students create foundations of athleticism, health, and confidence from an early age in the Momentum Fitness Program. The Mozart Performing Arts Program encourages students to grow their talents in music classes four days per week.

Serving more than 19,000 students at sixteen campuses throughout Arizona and Nevada, Legacy’s growth is a testament to its long-standing reputation as a leader in developing well-rounded, lifelong learners and good citizens.

in which guests can explore and navigate a seemingly infinite repeating pattern of mirrors. Interactive elements throughout the exhibit allow for hands-on learning to understand that math is all around us in everyday life, revealing the beauty of our world through numbers.Hand-on exhibit features include:• Drawing patterns on a digital screen and seeing real-world objects that show that same pattern.• Using templates to try to align a spiral to a series of objects from nature and the man-made world.• Striking poses in front of a two-way mirror while a projection superimposes patterns and proportions on your body in real time.• Composing a piece of music using symmetry and hearing your creations played back.
