Information
Photo Retake Proofs
Our photographers are fast, aren’t they? The proofs for students who had retakes done went out last week, so the order deadline is coming fast!
Food Bank Appeal
Our school has a long-standing tradition of collecting for the Food Bank.
We will not be accepting items for the food bank, but instead will be collecting donations through school cash online, (from Nov 18 – Jan 3) as this offers the food bank the most flexibility. While this article is from Ontario, the same principles obviously apply here in Langley.
If you would like a tax receipt, please donate directly through a food banks donation site.
Student Inclusive Conferences Reminder
Thank you to all who have booked your SIC appointments for this week. We look forward to having this opportunity to discuss your child’s progress with you. Please note that students must attend the conference with their guardians, as the student is a significant and necessary participant in the conference.

Quote(s) of the week
From the PAC
Winter Market Thanks
Thank you to everyone who came out to support our vendors at Friday’s Winter Market. All of the vendors were happy with the turn out and the overall event! Special thanks go to our volunteers, Mr. Oliver and our custodians for helping us wrap up in record time!
Congratulations to one of our vendors, Cassandra Russell who won $100 from our 50/50 draw. Thank you to everyone who purchased tickets.
Thanks to your generosity we raised over $1000 in monetary donations and collected 6 full bins of non-perishable food items. All of your donations will benefit our 3 sponsored families from the Langley Christmas Bureau.
Giving Trees for our 3 Sponsored Families from the Langley Christmas Bureau
Our Giving Tree initiative is now underway and will run until Friday, December 6th.
- We are sponsoring 3 families from the Langley Christmas Bureau this year and the trees are now set up in the school foyer.
- Parents/guardians are invited to take a tag from one of the trees that’s within their budget and bring back the item with the tag attached to the boxes under the corresponding tree.
- Families are being asked to stick to the item(s) that is/are listed on the tags as it is going directly to the 3 families that the PAC is sponsoring this year, i.e. if you have capacity to support, please grab more tags rather than extra of what is listed on the tag.

Something to read

- We’re having Moustache Day this Friday, which is all well and good and fun, but it connects to important conversations about men’s health. Dads, Step-Dads, uncles, grandfathers, we want you to be healthy and well.
