last words from the ptsa president
|
What a year! What a school! And what an honor to have served as president of such a
talented, bighearted group of volunteers.
There are many people to thank for their dedication and hard work this school year, beginning with our incredible principal, Fred Amico, fabulous PTSA faculty liaison, Tricia Poythress, and all of the committed teachers and staff of Langley, who devote their professional lives to teaching our children. Thank you for your unwavering dedication to our students.
It's impossible to thank every LHS volunteer personally in this space, but I trust you all know who you are -- the volunteers who have strengthened our school through service in the PTSA, booster clubs, and by serving as Class Parents or leaders of the Langley band, chorus, orchestra, and theater guilds. The people who provide hospitality, write this newsletter, maintain our website, represent Langley at community meetings, create the school directory, give tours, bake, sell, raise funds, help in the clinic, take minutes, improve cafeteria choices, coordinate teacher appreciation and Back-to-School Packets, recruit volunteers, administer appropriations, PDF, and student awards. The parents who chaperone school dances, judge the Science Fair, help out with Saxon Service, Ethics Day, Career Fair, ANGP, Baccalaureate, student health screenings, Reflections, the Senior Breakfast, and sporting events, and so many other programs that enrich our students'
lives.
Thank you, all!
A special shout out to our "full-time" volunteers,
Betsy Shomaker and
Julie Hohl, for their endless contributions to our community. Another to
Ann Haley, PTSA treasurer extraordinaire.
A fond farewell to our "graduating" PTSA volunteers who will be dearly missed and long remembered: Ann Goettman, Aradhana Luthra, Kim Stankey, Kristin Bonacci, Barb Long, Lorraine Bucy and Diane Forburger.
A debt of gratitude to this year's PTSA President-Elect, Jennifer Feinstein, for all of her insight, wisdom, support, and know-how. The PTSA will be in extremely capable hands next year.
And thanks to all of you parents for raising such wonderful Saxon students.
Wishing everyone a wonderful summer!
~ Chrissie Lavin, PTSA President 2016-17

Constitution Hall in Washington, DC. Highlights of the ceremony include keynote speaker actress
Lauren Graham sharing antics of her days as a Langley theatre student, as well as the celebratory sentiments of
Principal Fred Amico, Senior Class President Kaitlin Bonacci, and the senior class officers. Audience members were treated to performances from our band, chorus, and orchestra.

It's not always easy being a "new kid" at Langley. Students transferring to Langley from other high schools benefit from the
helpful advice and guidance of our
Student Ambassadors. If your child is interested in
joining next year's Student Ambassador team, they should email Langley counselor
Susan Murphy at
smurphy@fcps.edu.

getting ready for those ap's
|
Is your student taking his or her first AP class next year -- and do you want to give them a jump start? Do your young scholars want to improve their
critical reading, test-taking, and document analysis skills?
If you answered yes to either of these questions, sign your students up for the Advanced Placement Summer Workshop, held at LHS on Thurs, Aug 17. The workshop begins at 8:15 am, with a morning session focusing on reading, writing, and test-taking in the AP classroom; followed by an afternoon session focusing on either AP World History or AP Human Geography courses and related skills, ending at 2:45 pm.
The cost is $40 for the full day or $20 for either the morning or afternoon session; applications and payments should be mailed to Langley by July 31. Please see the flyer for additional details or contact Ryan Jackson (
rnjackson@fcps.edu
) with questions.

great summer project -- gather up used crayon bits and pieces!
Once again this year, Langley is working on a pyramid-wide service project to collect and recycle used crayons for The Crayon Initiative. This program collects unwanted crayons, re-manufactures them and provides them to pediatric wards at children's hospitals. Last year, the Langley pyramid schools collected approximately 640 pounds of crayons for The Crayon Initiative. Our students' used crayons were melted down to become over 3000 crayon packs distributed to children's hospitals all over the country! The Crayon Initiative was featured in a segment on the Today Show last year which can be viewed here.
Crayons will be collected from all the
elementary schools and the
middle school in this pyramid.
LHS students will sort and mail the crayons to The Crayon Initiative as their first service project of the new school year in August 2017. If you have used crayons at home,
please donate them by placing crayons in the
collection box located in the Student Services Dept, Trailer 34.
For more information on The Crayon Initiative, visit their
website.
