We need your help to ensure all students and all aspects of life at Langley are represented (sports, performing arts, social, academic, etc.). Group shots of Class of 2023 students engaging in Langley activities are preferred. Be creative … remember, these photos will be your student’s Langley memories! Please identify the students in the pictures when submitting. Ali Simanson is collecting the photos.
