Pandemic of Kindness

 

PANDEMIC OF KINDNESS

Every so often an idea resonates and becomes a phenomenon. And for once, this may not be hyperbole. Thanks to the amazing Foundation Fundraising Committee, our Choose Kindness and Be Kind t-shirts have emerged as a must-have fashion accessory. Rendered in black with a bold white image (Foundation Apple/Heart logo intermeshed with a message of either Choose Kindness or Be Kind), the 100% cotton T-shirts and their much-appreciated messages are a hit. This is such great news for the Foundation and its Food for Thought and Pandemic of Kindness Campaign. 

The Campaign so Far

Social media is rife with the message, and orders to purchase the t-shirts are coming in at a rate way beyond our imagination. But, in order to sustain our Food for Thought Initiative, whereby, the Foundation provides $50 gift cards every week to more than 650 families over a six-month period and beyond, we need your help. 


Here's the plan.

Businesses, associations, corporations, individuals and schools (we have childrens' sizes) order the shirts and challenge others within your field to do the same. Take a picture with your staff, colleagues, students and post on email, FB, Twitter and Instagram. Also forward to scairns@sd35.bc.ca and nleaf@sd35.bc.ca for posting on our website and in the Print media.

Order T-shirts at www.langleyschooldistrictfoundation.com. Pick-up at the School Board Office, receive in school mail or have them mailed to your address. 

Thank-you so much to all who have already ordered. If you can pick them up at Langley School District Foundation, 4875-222nd Street in Langley, they will be ready for you. If you need them mailed please let us know.

 We can do this!! Special shout-out to the amazing fundraising team! Rosemary Wallace, Frank Roberto, Linda Jensen, Ngaire Leaf, Lisa Farquharson, Mary Krische and Donna Mason.

Riding High at the 12th Annual Grand Prix Gala

Riding High at 12 th Annual Grand Prix Gala With the world-famous Thunderbird Show park as our gala site and an international equestrian jumping competition going on inches away from the sun-drenched patio, 300 guests oohed, aahed and gasped their way through a luxurious Sunday afternoon. The Grand Prix Gala is like no other fundraising event. At times upon entering the venue, I catch myself wondering if there can be such a thing as too much magnificence in a single place. First there is the stunning backdrop – acres of emerald green tract, punctuated with a series of obstacles. White fences, dazzling in the sunlight, troughs of shimmering, crystal clear water and redolent and colourful flowers blowing in the breeze. Then there are the horses. Stallions and mares of stunning stature and defined musculature prancing, galloping, leaping and crunching full force onto the grassy sod. You can hear the grunts and groans of exertion. Lithe and splendidly attired riders peer fr...

Hole New Ball Game - 12th Annual Foundation Golf Tournament

 Hole New Ball Game 12th Annual Foundation Golf Tournament Okay it’s like this. You are standing on the first tee box. It’s just 420 yards to the green. Your aim is to hit a very small ball into a seemingly even smaller hole with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose. Okey doke you say with confidence. You swing and follow through with authority. You hear the satisfying whack and look yonder. But alas – your ball sits just inches away smiling up at you with its sassy dimples. “Next,” you say as you creep off the tee box, and thank goodness there is a next. This is the Langley School District Foundation 12 th Annual Golf Tournament and everyone knows that you are welcome, whether you score eagles, birdies, par, bogies or even snowmen. Here’s how it works. You arrive at Redwoods Golf Course at 10 am on the day of the tournament. You are quickly met by a couple of friendly giants. Armed with clip boards, they are facilitating your progres...

Making learning UNFORGETTABLE for every Langley student

A DREAM YOU DREAM ALONE IS ONLY A DREAM. A DREAM YOU DREAM TOGETHER IS REALITY With a mission to make learning UNFORGETTABLE for every Langley student, the Foundation’s dream is to ensure that all Langley students receive the maximum benefit of the education to which they are entitled. KEEPING KIDS IN SCHOOL There are kids who go through their educational careers without a hitch. The programs seem to be designed to cater to their brains, lifestyle and outside support. But there are also kids who for a variety of reasons do not benefit from their education. Their brains may be wired a little differently from the norm; they may be gifted or challenged, they may have skills and abilities that run contrary to standard educational programs; they may come to school hungry, tired or abused. Thanks to the support from all sectors, including our community partners, volunteers, sponsors, donors, school district staff, parents and board of directors, the Foundation has b...
