THE LANGSTON ROAR ENTER TO LEARN. DEPART TO SERVE. Langston Program Makes Mural for 2020 Turkey Trot By John Brooks The organizers for the Turkey Trot commissioned the children from the Langston Center to create a mural for the annual race. It was a true team effort as everyone pulled together to make their mark on the popular local event. Led by educator and artist, Miss Amber, the gang worked hard to serve the community in their own special way. Congrats kids on a great job.
My Time at Langston
For the past year about I’ve been coming to Langston after by Willie Edmisten school from 3-6 pretty much every day. At my time at the Langston center I have learned a thing or two and not just about S.T.E.A.M. but about who I am and my potential. Whenever I signed up for Langston and had my first days here I was very shy and just wanted to be cool in front of the 3 other kids in my classes. Whenever Langston closed I was…devastated because that was my second home where I could just get away from all my worries and problems. But over quarantine I found who I really was and who I need to be, William. (I also found my missing sock but, that’s a whole other story!) So in this article/review as being a veteran to the Langston center I say that Langston is more than an after school program, The teachers and kids there are more than strangers, This place is easily a home and the people here are family. I suggest and wish that every kid in the world could go to Langston, But for now I’m enjoying it while it lasts because I won’t be coming here as a student next year (hopefully I can still come here though as a volunteer.) So it doesn’t matter who you or your kid is or how anybody looks get them at Langston center today and they too will be welcomed with open arms as well...that is, if they don’t have Covid-19.

From the Desk of Miss B
Dear Langston Centre Families, We have had a wonderful and active week! Miss Amber returned this week and we are very happy and thankful to have her back on site! She has hit the ground running and has been super busy with a special project! She and the kiddos have been working on a mural that was requested from the Johnson City Turkey Trot Committee. This mural will be the backdrop for the Photo Op area at the end of the Turkey Trot! They have done a FANTASTIC job! We are so very proud of their stick-to-it-iveness, talent, and creativity! We are scheduled to deliver the mural next Tuesday! We are beginning plans for Spring Session 2021. If you would like us to hold your student’s spot in the registration roster, please send me an email and let me know! Some of the activities we are planning: New Smithsonian Poster Exhibit in January: City of Hope A NASA Exhibit that will include a real space suit, stardust, and a moon rock—just to name a few! Field Trips Galore! Bristol Caverns, Rocky Mount, Bright’s Zoo, among others! A reminder that next week, we will have a Holiday schedule.

The Golden Gallery - Egg Drop Challenge 2020
The Langston Gang held their first, but surely not last, Egg Drop Challenge. The task was to design, budget, and build protective vehicles that could withstand a second story drop. They used their skills of problem solving to keep their precious cargo intact and were successful with nearly half of all drops. Great job guys! (Drone Drop is Next!)
