Volunteers Needed!
Ethics Day
On Wed, Mar 20, the senior class will be given an opportunity for personal growth through group discussion and self-reflection when they participate in Senior Ethics Day. The program’s objective is to help students develop and define their own framework for making ethical decisions so that they may act, not just react, when they find themselves facing ethical dilemmas in the future.
A big thank you to Langley parent, Tim Steffan, who helped the PTSA find a new venue in which to hold the event free of charge. With less than two weeks to go we need volunteers, no experience necessary, to assist the committee on numerous tasks including:
-
Set Up on Tues, Mar 19
-
Assist in the morning of the event with registration and check-in
-
Assist as table leaders and floor monitors
-
Distribute lunches to students from 11 am to 1 pm
-
Help with clean-up
If you can volunteer, sign up here. Senior parents, please sign up for any position, including table leaders!
Students, we will give volunteer hours to anyone who helps us set up after school on Mar 19 and/or clean up after school on Mar 20. Sign up here. The location is Office Building 4, 1800 Reston Row Plaza, Reston VA 20190. Free garage parking is available.
This is an all-hands-on-deck situation given the change of venue, so we appreciate everyone's help! Questions? Contact Margaret Brown at margaretbrown2345@gmail.com or Danica Alink at danica.alink@hotmail.com.
DIVERSEartLANGLEY
Art Exhibition
This is the biggest year ever for the PTSA-sponsored DIVERSEartLANGLEY art exhibition! The exhibition featured 126 pieces of artwork, including original music, dance, poetry, ceramics, drawing, painting, collage, photography and graphic art. Attendees viewed the gallery and then joined in a discussion facilitated by guest speaker Danielle Van Hook, Director of the Youth Theatre Program at the McLean Community Center. The discussion provided space for the students to talk about their art and for audience members to reflect on how we all perceive, seek out and experience freedom.
Congratulations to the three students whose art was chosen by popular vote to receive winning prizes: 1. Aryana Molaiy, 2. Emily Hur, 3. Reva Dogra.
Congratulations to the five Langley HS PTSA students whose Reflections entries earned Outstanding Interpretation Award & Award of Excellence at the Fairfax County Council level.
A student awards program is planned for 7 pm, Friday, February 23 at Lake Braddock Secondary School Little Cafeteria and details will be announced at FCCPTA.org, LHSPTSA enews, LHS news you choose and by separate emails to awardees.
All students that won OI and AE are invited along with family and friends.
