At the end of May, we will be participating in Bike to School Week. Get your ride shined up, your helmet ready, and stay tuned!
The City of Langley is hosting the 16th Annual TRI-IT Triathlon on Sunday June 12. This is a fun, family
event suitable for all ages and abilities. All proceeds for the TRI-IT Triathlon will be donated to KidSport Langley which provides grants for Langley Youth to play a season of sport. Triathlon is a great sport (mostly because it has bikes!).

Wednesday this week is Treat Day! Booster juice is on the menu.

Quote of the Week
Reading is good…
- This one is a listen, but the headline totally caught my attention: Climbing Bears Help Plants Keep Cool from Scientific American‘s 60-second science feature.
- Speaking of Science, here’s a whole pile of science experiments kids can do at home (with minimal risk of explosions!).
- A cute 71-second video. Great animation. Don’t jump to negative conclusions!
