Langley Elementary physical education teacher Randy Myaing enjoys a snow tubing trip with students. This week, we show our school teachers and staff just how much we appreciate their dedication and hard work.
Our teachers are the heart and soul of Langley! What a year of changes it has been—implementing Conscious Discipline schoolwide, moving from Tools of the Mind to Creative Curriculum for preschool, and growing our program to 42 PK-3 students! Through all of these changes, Langley’s teachers have seen our school family through with excellence and love. Now our teachers are powering through PARCC testing and preparing children to step up to the next grade or to middle school. So this week, join us in expressing our gratitude and appreciation:
Tuesday
Thank-you card day - bring in a note to let your child's teachers know how much you appreciate them, and encourage your child to write one too!
Wednesday
Each child bring in a single flower to create a unique bouquet for your teacher (a time-honored DCPS tradition)
Thursday
Send in something sweet for your teachers to eat!
