PAC Happenings
Thank you to everyone that donated, voted and supporting the Indigo Fundraiser! We were wonderfully successful! All the money raised goes directly to books in our Learning Commons (library). The official total raised will be announced at the PAC meeting this week.
PAC Meeting Oct. 17 @ 6 (Library)
All parents that attend are entered to win amazing seats at the Christmas concert (prize value = priceless)
Agenda: updates about what’s been happening at the school, budget discussion and spending plans for the year, and a general discussion with all parents that are there.
District PAC Meeting Oct 19
The district PAC is the collective voice for parents in Langley. Your West Langley PAC has a representative who always attends and reports back to our meetings. All parents are welcome though if this interests you.
Upcoming:
Parents Night Out November 9th.

Quote of the Week
Interesting Reading & Viewing
What does it really take to have a ‘good life?’ This TED Talk refers to a 75-year-long study of happiness and offers an answer that probably doesn’t come as a huge surprise, but that does, for me at least, refocus things a bit.
I’m a math person, I think. Some of you are too. And some aren’t. But all of our kids can be math people. While this article talks about how teachers can help kids become math people, I think the advice can be put into place by anyone, at any time.
I’ve talked with some of you about the designs of things. This video is unrelated to anything to do with school, I suppose, but these designs are amazing, and I wanted to share them with someone.
