Greetings Saxons,
Another great week has concluded in Saxon Country! Let’s start the celebration!
Congratulations to Langley’s Model UN who competed in Yale’s High School Model UN competition. Our students won a number of individual awards, including first place. We are proud of these Saxons!
A huge shout out to Langley Wrestling on winning the district championship!
Congratulations to our Girls’ and Boys’ Basketball teams on winning the Rotary Cup in their matchups against McLean High School! Way to go, Saxons!
Congratulations to our Senior Girls’ basketball players. We salute you!
I thank each of you and your children for your continued engagement with our commitment to make Langley a safe space for all. Our PTSA is a partner in this vital work. To support our efforts, they are offering the following opportunities for community engagement.
The Langley, Cooper, and Churchill Road PTSA/PTO Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) committees are commemorating Black History Month (February) with the 28 Days of Equity Awareness project. We invite participants to check out this list of 28 short readings, videos, and podcasts, and complete as many as possible. Our goal is to begin a conversation in which we investigate perspectives from marginalized voices. We hope you’ll join us.
During the month, on each Friday at noon, we will hold Friday Reflections lunch discussions, providing a safe space for reflection on the material. To attend, RSVP via this form: https://forms.gle/xbXWAcPXkF2ahixt9
NOTE: On February 16, 2021 at 7:30 pm, we will hold a pyramid-wide book club meeting on the first 7 chapters of the book Blindspot, by Mahzarin R. Banaji and Anthony G. Greenwald. Those chapters are among the selections on our 28-day list. To RSVP for the book club, please complete this form: https://forms.gle/AmcuAgzoXbK6EM1i9
As we are expecting snow this weekend, I hope it will provide everyone a moment of solitude and peace. I wish each of you and your families continued safety, wellness and good health.
Fondly,
