Information
- Led by Ms. Doerksen, Ms. Edlund and Ms. Peterson, we will be running school colour teams all year this year. Watch for spirit days where students can participate as part of their teams. Students should know their teams before Friday so they can dress in team colours (red, blue, green or yellow). Exciting things are coming! We will have WLE Team shirts (the lion on your team’s colour) available soon.
- Did you know that Langley has a Healthy Schools initiative? It includes things like guidelines around the food offered in schools, and on keeping kids active.
- Pink Shirt Day is in February. Believe it or not, we will be arranging pink shirts in November so there is stock for us! We’re thinking Hot Pink Ts with black writing this time, using our ‘Same Pride’ artwork to match last year’s shirts.

Quote of the Week
Interesting Reading & Viewing
- Are Canadian Kids Losing the Ability to Play? Lots of this strikes a chord for me, though I think many (not all) of our students at WLE are doing OK on these skills.
- I think this little gem should be revised a bit. Limiting our thinking to sunshine and weather takes so much power away from the sentiment here. Let’s replace ‘sunshine’ with ‘everything being perfect!’
