Another Year Done
Well, that was fast. Thanks to every Bulldog and family member for a great year of learning at our school. All of us working together respectfully and wholeheartedly are making the school the wonderful place that it is. Together we are doing great things!
Last Day of School
Please note that students will be dismissed at 11:30 on Thursday, June 29. There are no classes on Friday June 30.
National Indigenous People’s Day
Was last week, and Ms. Sykes’ class made a mural to commemorate it. They painted the background, and then added their own Salish-inspired art of the animals that live in the territories we live on. Here’s a little video of the animals arriving on the mural.
SORA App (e-books for kids)
The SORA app is available free to all Langley students to access excellent reading materials all year long, including during the summer months! We have recently added almost 2000 graphic novels, comics and manga for our K to 12 audience as well as over 50 magazines K to 12 in multiple subject areas. All of these resources are simultaneous access meaning everyone can access them at the same time.
There are three different reading levels on SORA:
- Juvenile: Kindergarten-Grade 5
- Juvenile and Young Adult: Grades 6-8
- Juvenile, Young Adult and Adult: Grades 9 and up
SORA access:
- You can access SORA through any iOS device- android or iOS or a web browser
- If you enter your FVRL library card number in the app, you can access the entire FVRL digital collection. If you do not have a FVRL card, you can register online here.

Quote(s) of the week
Something to Read or Watch…
- Looking for something to do this summer? Watch for the Summer Homework list Mr. Oliver will send out at the end of the week. It won’t be academic homework, that’s for sure.
- Here are a few ideas for the summer, courtesy of the Vancouver Planner. Beaches, festivals, attractions, and more are in the 26 Best Vancouver Summer Activities. And if you want to stay closer to home, the Surrey Fusion Festival at Holland Park is always great. And I found out the other day that there’s a Fort Langley Night Market on Friday Nights in July and August.
- While this might overlap a bit with Mr. Oliver’s Summer ‘Homework’ suggestions, it’s still worth sharing. How Wee Learn has a Summer Nature Learning bucket list. And here’s another list of pretty cool-looking summer nature activities for kids. I like the cloud scavenger hunt!
