Dear Langley Friends,

I am so proud of all that we accomplished together during the 2021-2022 academic year, and am appreciative of the warm welcome I received from the entire Langley community during my first full year as head of school. Whether popping into classrooms, attending student performances, meeting with parents, or interacting with faculty and staff, I have thoroughly enjoyed learning about Langley’s many wonderful traditions, programs, and activities. And it’s been so much fun getting to know the people who make up our amazing community, both past and present.

Following a long period of pandemic restrictions, it was great to welcome parent volunteers back to campus in person in 2021-2022. Their joyful spirit of volunteerism helped create a warm, welcoming environment and brought our events and traditions back to life.

It is the support of our parent body that makes Langley such a special place. From organizing a fabulous appreciation luncheon for faculty and staff, to running stations at Field Day, to donating or bidding on items at our spring auction, to supporting our Next Generation Campaign, our parents demonstrate their deep commitment to Langley in so many ways and I am so grateful.

It is thanks to the generosity of our current parents, along with many alumni families, grandparents, and friends, that our current academic year is off to such an amazing start. In addition to celebrating Langley’s 80th birthday this fall, we also opened our wonderful new Crossroads Building and are in the process of developing our next strategic plan.

Sara Magner, chair of Langley’s Board of Trustees, and I were recently touring the campus with Joel Kanter, trustee emeritus and past Board chair. We were excited to show off the Crossroads Building, and Joel commented, “I can’t believe you did it!”

Twenty years ago, Joel served on the Facilities Committee that developed our campus master plan. He mentioned that they were dreaming big, but not necessarily assuming their ideas would come to fruition. Today, we have accomplished all they envisioned and more, and I can’t wait to see what ambitious and bold goals we set for ourselves in our next strategic plan.

Thank you again for your support and for the role you play in ensuring Langley continues to thrive now and in the future.

Warmly,

Michele Claeys
