Staff Pictures and Historical Annecdotes Needed - Sometimes it may appear that our sole purpose is to travel and fundraise for Scholarships but that isn’t so! We do have Aims you know! (check them out) One of them is to "support the recording of the history of education in our branch and the preservation of school properties of historical value." We do that on our web site by collecting staff pictures, scanning them and adding them to our ‘History of Langley Schools’ We need your help. If you have staff pictures or you would like to add an annecdote or update something written about your school(s) please contact our President Maureen Wilson, or bring them to a luncheon. We will scan pictures and return them to you.
