Information
Thank you, parents, for the wonderful lunch on Friday. Everything was delicious! We all left happy and full, and it was soooo nice getting up Friday morning knowing that we didn’t have to make lunch!
Happy Father’s Day! We hope all the dads in the WLE community have a great day today.
The detailed school calendar for next year is available here.
Summer School registration is still open at https://www.sd35.bc.ca/schools/summer-session/registration-information/ for students interested in extending their learning. Remember, there is no cost to Canadian citizens or Permanent Residents. If your child works with an SEA, though, the registration deadline is June 30 so that appropriate staffing can be determined and put in place in time for the start of classes.
The Langley Ukulele Ensemble have a summer camp experience available. Lots of WLE kids caught on well to the uke this year in music. Why not take it up a notch?
Students going into Grades 4 through 7 during the 2016/17 school-year (born between 2004 – 2007) are invited to attend this camp that teaches students to learn to play the ukulele and sing. The regular cost for the weeklong camp is $75, but an early-bird rate of $65 is available for those registering before July 1st.
The camp takes place at Belmont Elementary School (20390 40th Ave. in Brookswood) daily from August 15th – 19th, 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Qualified teachers from of the Langley School District and The Langley Ukulele Association provide instruction. Participants who do not own a ukulele may either purchase or rent from the LUA and a T-Shirt and daily snacks are provided at no additional cost.
There will be a performance for parents on Friday, August 19th @ 7:00 p.m. and at the end of camp students may have the opportunity to participate in the Langley Ukulele Association’s after school ensemble program.
For additional information or to register please contact camp co-ordinator, Elizabeth Zielke by email at ukesinfo@langleyukes.com or by phoning (604) 340- UKES (8537).

Quote of the Week
Interesting Reading & Viewing
Something to remember in the summer when we tend to drift out of our routines. And maybe we should remember it in winter, too, when ‘busy’ so often replaces ‘healthy.’ Children need activity and sleep….
This gives me hope. I don’t have to be good at art to benefit from doing it!
In honour of Father’s Day, an oldie but a goodie.
