a message from the ptsa president
|
At the Career Fair on Tuesday, forty parent volunteers representing professions ranging from
dance therapist to
orthopedic surgeon engaged with Langley students. When it came to one-on-one conversations with the various professionals,
many students eagerly jumped right in,
asking the representatives for details about education, job responsibilities, travel, etc. Other students were a bit more reticent, shyly approaching professionals whose careers sparked their interest. Once students engaged, however, it was evident how curious, ambitious and determined all of our Saxons are
when it comes to their futures.
  Based on the conversations I overheard, the future looks bright!
Many thanks to the parents who took the morning off from work to give our students the low-down on their professions. A debt of gratitude goes to PTSA Career Fair Chair Suzie Greico and to Lee Ann Brownlee for the many months of hard work and careful planning that went into making Career Fair a success, and to LHS Director of Student Services Sonya Williams and College and Career Counselor Hannah Wolff, whose vision made Career Fair possible. Thanks also goes to the many parents who sent in granola bars, fruit and other goodies.
It's a joy to be part of a community that cares so deeply about our students and their futures.
~ Chrissie Lavin, PTSA President

Giant continues to be our top affiliate fundraising partner organization. We encourage all families to link their Giant Bonus card to Langley HS next year to help us raise much needed funds to assist with renovation furniture, teacher professional development, etc. Enrollment details can be found by clicking here.

literary extension at lhs
|
 Most Langley students have read Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart, which features the Igbo tribe of Nigeria. To complement our students' studies, Langley's National English Honors Society (NEHS) recently invited two contemporary Igbo tribe members to give their narratives to about 200 Langley students. Students enjoyed learning about the differing perspectives between citizens of Nigeria and the United States. Dr. Francis Pike, a Professor of Law from Nigeria, is pictured here.
Many thanks to LHS English Teacher and NEHS Sponsor Ronni Chern for helping to organize this special event for our Saxons.
