Did you know… David Braucher Ph.D with Psychology Today writes, “Although we may have a fair amount of anxiety concerning the potential health and financial impact of the virus, there is also an insidious loss that we are suffering. This is the loss of self-experience we suffer when we are unable to engage in our daily and weekly routines.” The article covers ways to regain sense of self during these challenging times.

FCPS MENTAL HEALTH INFORMATION
FCPS has mental health professionals available to respond to the social and emotional needs of students. Parents may schedule a 30-minute phone consultation with the school psychologist (Anna Davis) or school social worker (Catherine Kennedy), for yourself or for your student. This consultation provides an opportunity for parents to receive guidance on how to support their student’s emotional well-being during their time away from school. Student consultations will provide support and strategies to students who may be experiencing difficulties with anxiety, mood, behavior, or peer or family interactions during this unprecedented and challenging time. Information about community resources will also be made available. To schedule a phone consultation, parents should click the link below. This service is not intended to provide therapy or for mental health emergencies and if an emergency is suspected or indicated, please call 911. https://forms.gle/WKchwGnv4LkezQwG8
Now's the Time to Donate Your Leaf!
We're still planning to landscape Langley's main courtyard as soon as logistically possible. Just how gorgeous and green it will be depends upon how many donations are made ASAP. To help, donate a leaf-- or two!-- to the Langley Legacy Tree, the beautiful wall sculpture that is “growing” in the Langley Lobby. Another 40+ leaves and several birds were added to the tree right before the school closed.

Leaves make wonderful graduation gifts! About 100 of our seniors/soon-to-be grads already have a leaf inscribed in their honor. Leaves are also a great way to pay tribute to teachers, family and friends. Giving levels are copper leaf ($50), silver leaf ($100), gold leaf ($200), and acorn or bird ($500). With a $1,000+ donation, your family's name is included on the Courtyard Benefactor Plaque, which will be installed next to the Tree.
Click on ptsalangley.org to donate your tree leaves/acorns/birds.
