a message from the ptsa president
|
Generosity abounds at Langley. You see it in the effort and enthusiasm our students put into their service work (click
here to nominate a
deserving junior for the prestigious
PTSA Service Award). You also see it in our parent community whenever there is a need.
Many thanks to all you Saxon parents who contributed to staff appreciation gift cards. With your help, we reached our goal and will present every one of our faculty members with a $25 gift card at tomorrow's sure-to-be-fabulous PTSA Staff Appreciation Luncheon.
Additional thanks to families who donated to LHS's
National English Honor Society (NEHS) book drive. NEHS's advisor Ms. Chern is delighted to report that the Langley community donated more than 3,000 books, which will be given to Cunningham Park ES for their summer program, and to K.I.D.S, an organization that supports Vietnamese street children who cannot afford to attend school.
There are many more opportunities to showcase your generous Saxon Spirit this spring. We are still in need of volunteers for our June 6th Career Fair, which offers students a glimpse into a wide range of professions -- click here to sign up. We are also in need of volunteers for the All Night Grad Party (ANGP), which keeps our new graduates safe while they're having a blast (click here to sign up). Relay for Life and Prom will also be seeking helping hands in the coming weeks.
Wind up the school year with a few more good deeds!
~ Chrissie Lavin, PTSA President
