Langley Bands have been named a National Winner of the Blue Ribbon "Program of Excellence" award, given by the National Band Association!

• One ambitious teacher has received an exciting promotion, and we are thrilled to see her take on a new leadership role. Her dedication and talent will undoubtedly continue to inspire students and staff alike.
• Four adventurous teachers are embarking on new journeys which will take them out of the area. We thank them for their contributions to Saxon Country.
• Three teachers have accepted teaching positions at schools closer to their homes. Their new schools will be enriched by their many talents.
