Sleep helps maintain cognitive skills, such as attention, learning, and memory, such that poor sleep can make it much more difficult to cope with even relatively minor stressors and can even impact our ability to perceive the world accurately. Here are tips for creating healthy sleep habits.

Message from the Principal

GovDelivery3 weeks 1 day ago

Greetings Saxons,

After a hiatus, the weekly message is back! Throughout this spring, our students have been hard at work making magic on the field, stage and in competitions. Let the shout outs begin!!

  • Langley Concert Choir and Madrigals both received the highest recognition (Superior) at district assessment. Madrigals scored a Superior in all 8 categories in which they were adjudicated. These Superior ratings, along with the one earned by orchestra earlier this year, garners our music program a “Blue Ribbon School” as awarded by the Virginia Music Educators Association. Langley is one of only four middle or high schools to have this streak for over ten years. We are so proud of our amazing musicians and incredible teachers!
  • More great news for Langley band! For only the third year in the school’s 57 year history, the program has been named a “Virginia Honor Band” by the Virginia Band and Orchestra Directors Association. This is quite an honor. Band students, we are proud of you!
  • Congratulations to Langley debaters Connor Chun, Michaela Frey, and Vishwa Rakasi who all brought home medals for their performance at the VHSL State Debate Championships. Connor and Michaela, both freshmen, finished third in Public Forum, and Vishwa Rakasi, a sophomore, finished in fourth in Lincoln-Douglas.
  • Our Science Olympiad team has been selected to attend the national competition happening later this month. We congratulate these students and wish them the best of luck!
  • A super shout out to Danna Jia, Sin Kwan Xu and Patrick Ying. Out of 350,000 students, these mathematicians were part of only 200 students worldwide invited to the Math Olympiad highest level of competition.
  • Sixty-four Saxons took the National Spanish exam. We commend these scholars for their efforts. They earned many awards ranging from Gold to Honorable Mention.
  • Way to go Model Judiciary Club who represented NOVA in the Model Judiciary Program’s VA Supreme Court Moot Court event (sponsored by the YMCA/Virginia Bar Association). 
  • Congratulations to Tiffany Li on her Silver medal earned in the National Scholastic Art & Writing competition.

 

Senior Night Season is here! We salute our 12th graders participating in the following sports…


Girls' Lacrosse 


Boys’ Lacrosse


Softball 


Baseball 


Boys' Soccer


Girls' Tennis 


Boys' Tennis 

 

This past Tuesday was National Teacher Appreciation Day. May 8-12 is National Teacher Appreciation week. We truly thank and appreciate each of the educators who work daily to teach and support our students. A huge shout out and thank you to our PTSA who provided a fabulous Mexican themed lunch to recognize our staff. Over the course of the next week, please encourage your student to thank their teachers for all they do.


Have a great weekend!

No leaf orders will be accepted next year. If you would like to order a leaf for the tree, now is the time! Consider helping to "grow" the Legacy Tree and complete the courtyard renovation project by donating a leaf (copper $50, silver $100, gold $200) or bird or acorn ($500). You choose the engraved message! The Legacy Tree is a permanent, prominent record of courtyard contributors and a lasting legacy for Langley and your family. Leaves also make great tributes to teachers, friends, coaches, and grads! To order your leaf -- or leaves! -- visit the PTSA website and look for the article on the Legacy Tree.

Charles R Chaffin Ed.D from Psychology Today writes, “Digital fatigue is a real thing. That feeling of being tired and burned out from all the screen time in our lives. The endless and sometimes habitual scrolling and texting back and forth limits our attention and can just plain wear us out.” Here are some strategies to put down the devices and recharge.

Langley HS’s Saxon Stage presents Urinetown, a hilarious musical about human rights, romance, revolutions…and toilets. Urinetown most notably won the Best Book and Best Score at the 2002 Tony Awards and is a musical comedy fit to make all audiences laugh, from Saxon Stage to Broadway.

 

Urinetown is a musical that pokes fun at musicals, and the Saxon Stage students are having laughs from script to stage. Performers are busy learning their lyrics and lines, rehearsing ensemble dance choreography, researching political principles discussed in the story and chuckling backstage at the comedy onstage in the show. Tech students spent afternoons constructing a large platform set fit with a sewer system crawl space, designing stylized costume and makeup looks for each Urinetown character and implementing a new surround sound system in the Langley Auditorium.

 

Performances are Apr 20-22 at 7 pm and Apr 23 at 2:30 pm in the Langley Auditorium (Door 14). Snag your tickets here or at the door. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for students and $5 for seniors.

Did You Know...

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration is warning the American public of a sharp increase in the trafficking of fentanyl mixed with xylazine. Xylazine, also known as “Tranq,” is a powerful sedative that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved for veterinary use.   Because xylazine is not an opioid, naloxone (Narcan) does not reverse its effects. Here is more information on this dangerous drug.

WE NEED YOU: Ethics Day Committee needs your help to facilitate an all-day program on March 14th for 525 Langley high school seniors!  If you are a parent of an underclassman, PLEASE consider volunteering for this rewarding event (friends and neighbors are welcome to volunteer as well, please spread the word!), no experience needed.

Ethics Day encourages seniors to determine their own ethical framework and equips them with decision-making tools they can use in life after high school when confronting ethical dilemmas.  Speakers present situations in three different sessions and as a volunteer you only encourage dialog among the seniors in small-group table discussions.  It really is amazing to watch the young adults articulate their positions and collaborate with each other, a heart-warming snapshot of teens at Langley.

Most overdoses are preventable. The thinking among teens is “I don’t want to get my friend in trouble.” The Good Samaritan Laws in Virginia state no one will get arrested. Those that make a 911 call are asked to remain on the scene and cooperate with law enforcement.
