THE LANGLEY TIMES PRESENTS

FUTURE

The Langley Times is very pleased to be publishing our second edition of “Faces of The Future” which will be celebrating students who have reached excellence in academics, sports, arts & entertainment and community involvement. We will be proﬁling nominees from the 2012 Pete Swenson Outstanding Community Youth Awards, the Langley School District Celebration of Achievement Award Winners along with elementary students who have been recognized by their respective principals for going above and beyond the call of duty. This is not a competition but a publication that celebrates a small sample of our Langley youth and future leaders. The Langley Times would like to thank the Langley School District and principals for their tremendous support to make this publication happen. Langley has a reputation for being a great place to raise a family and “Faces of The Future” is a publication that proves that our community is in good hands for many future generations. For an online version of “Faces of The Future” please visit us at www.langleytimes.com (go to the bottom right corner and click on e-editon). The Langley Times realizes there are many outstanding youth in our community that are worthy of being published in “Faces of The Future” but space is limited. On behalf of the staff at The Langley Times please take a moment and congratulate all Langley youth who make a positive contribution to our community. Enjoy!

of the Ashley Bull Walnut Grove Secondary Not surprisingly, Ashley Bull has her sights set on becoming a teacher and high school coach. Most of her free time — when not dominating on the ﬁeld lacrosse pitch — is spent either helping out teachers in the classroom or volunteering in some capactity at the school. But her efforts are not limited to just school either, as Bull has spent time preparing food and serving some of the less fortunate members of the community through Walnut Grove Secondary’s Humanitarian Club. “It is a good feeling knowing you have helped someone in a time of darkness for them,” she says.

Deven Azevedo Apex Secondary School

SHO ES S E RV I C

A Grade 11 student at Langley Fine Arts School, was the youth winner of the Langley Environmental Hero awards earlier in June. A resident of Fort Langley, Deven founded the composting program at the school. “It is important to me,” says Deven, “because it’s important for society’s sustainability. I think recycling and composting are important parts of ensuring a prosperous future for humankind.” Deven recruited several other students for the project and solicited start-up funding from the Parent Advisory Council. They built composters, set up compost bins in the school hallways and classrooms and started collecting. Compost is returned to the school’s garden. The group collects more than 100 litres of compost a month. Deven Azevedo is also working to start a community garden in the Bedford Landing area, and he volunteers for Langley Environmental Protection Society.

A CELEBRR ATION N OF LAA NGLEY’S OU U TSTAN N DING YOUTH H Grace Chao D.W. Poppy Secondary School

Emily Strutinski Fraser Valley Elementary

For a student who consistently achieves excellence in all her studies, Grace is a quiet and humble girl. When asked what she is most proud of she replied, “I am most proud of my long established habit of being perseverant and determined.” This habit is clearly exempliﬁed in her studies, as Grace has an overall percentage of 98% in challenging classes such as AP Calculus, Physics 12 and AP Psychology. She is an accomplished ﬂutist and was awarded “Outstanding Senior” last year for her work in the Senior Wind Ensemble. It is her goal to become a physician and she will attend UBC in the fall to pursue that goal.

Emily attends Fraser Valley Elementary School in Langley, BC and has completed Grade 3. Since a young age, Emily has always expressed and shown an interest in singing, dancing and skating. She is an accomplished Ringette player with Fraser Valley Ringette Association, and has also performed several solos in various school concerts. Her goal is to sing the national anthem for thousands of people at a sporting event or Olympic venue. She has also recently been awarded her yellow belt with Woo Kim Tae Kwon Do. Emily gets her love of motorcycles from her Dad, and would like to have her own and learn how to ride.

Daniel Bajj R.E. Mountain Secondary School

Mariya Oskam Noel Booth Elementary School

He has volunteered at Langley Memorial Hospital, is involved with Project Kenya Sister Schools and tutors Math. Next year, Daniel has been accepted into the Science program at UBC.

Dedicated, responsible, and multidimensional are just a few adjectives that come to mind when I think of Mariya Oskam. Mariyais a grade seven student attending Noel Booth Elementary School and will be moving on to Secondary School in a matter of days. Mariya is the deﬁnition of hard work and character. Not only is Mariya a straight A student, but Mariya can be seen volunteering her time and being of service to anyone in need. Mariya is also an excellent athlete and team player. On the basketball court, Mariya does all the little things well that usually go unnoticed by the casual observer. She sets screens, boxes out and makes life difﬁcult for the other teams offensive players, a rarity at the grade seven level. Mariyahas the drive and determination that will allow her to do whatever she aspires to. The movie industry is intriguing for Mariya. If she became the next big producer or writer, no one would be surprised.

Stephen Hu Walnut Grove Secondary School Stephen is a quiet, conscientious young man with an insatiable appetite for learning. Some may say he is all business, perhaps he is, and his marks conﬁrm this, however he is also a giving and kind individual.

A CELEBRR ATION N OF LAA NGLEY’S OU U TSTAN N DING YOUTH H Michael Pratt Brookswood Secondary

Pe Lay Paw Sar Douglas Park Community Elementary

The way Michael Pratt sees it, “everybody should feel like they belong to something, whether it is a sports team, a community or something else.” “I just feel if somebody as young as I can do something for the community, then maybe it can encourage others to feel the same way.” Pratt, who is entering Grade 10 next year, and his older sister Elizabeth formed Langley Youth for the Fallen, a non-profit organization which is creating a grove of 158 trees at the Derek Doubleday Arboretum. Called a Walk to Remember, the unique memorial honours every fallen Canadian soldier in Afghanistan. He came up with the idea after he saw the memorial at Juno Beach.

Pe Lay Paw Sar is an outstanding student and member of the Douglas Park school community. She currently works as a crossing guard before and she used to monitor in a grade one class at lunch. Pe Lay Paw always ﬁnishes her work in class and takes on additional responsibilities within the classroom. Pe Lay Paw wants to become a nurse in the future and thinks we can make the world a better place by recycling and putting an end to war.

Mikayla Swirski Langley Secondary School

Sydney Edwards is a Noel Booth Late French Immersion student heading off to Brookswood Secondary in the fall. She looks forward to continuing her French studies and to taking part in youth leadership opportunities in high school. Sydney keeps very active outside of school with horseback riding, swimming, water polo, violin and her family. A former 4-H Club member, Sydney aspires to becoming a veterinarian. For Sydney, to make the world a better place, we need to ﬁnd a cure for cancer. So, back in January, she asked her Grade Seven peers if anyone would be willing to form a team for the Langley Relay for Life event. Nine classmates joined her, and collectively they raised over four thousand dollars. Sydney says that being part of “Relay for Life” has helped her to learn how to be empathetic and “to work as a team”. In Sydney’s words, the experience has helped make her “a better person”.

When not at school, Mikayla can be found on top of a horse where she spends hours honing her equestrian skills. She holds a position on both the BCML National and Regional Pony Club Rally teams. Mikayla’s passions extend to the ﬁne arts where she has received recognition for her excellence in theatre and music. She was honoured with the top Acting 11/12 award as well as a number of awards for her work in choir, vocal jazz and musical theatre. Writing has also held an important place in Mikayla’s life and in grade 11 she won 2nd place in the International Festival Writer’s Contest. Mikayla participated in the social justice group’s volunteer aid trip to Belize. While balancing all of her interests, Mikayla maintains a 94% GPA and plans on attending Kwantlen Polytechnic University and then UBC to earn her music degree.

Jacqui is one of those students who arrived at Brookswood oozing with a great brain and oodles of potential, but not always sure of her place in the school. In her grade 11 and Grade 12 years, she’s been hitting her stride as a true Humanities student, excelling in classes with a 98% in Global Education, 97% in Law 12, and an unheard of 99% in History 12.

A CELEBRR ATION N OF LAA NGLEY’S OU U TSTAN N DING YOUTH H Sierra Gustafson Betty Gilbert Middle School

Mahroo Shahbaz Douglas Park Community Elementary

Sierra is deﬁnitely an asset to BGMS. She is a kind and friendly student who helps out whenever she can. We wish her the best of luck in her future endeavours. She has had such a great year this year with so many great memories, but she would have to say the most memorable was when she won the Concours French speech contest in her class and not only went to the district competition, but then won district and went on to compete in the provincial Concours. Sierra’s future plans are to go to university to study to become either a teacher or a psychologist and she’d also like to do some writing on the side. To make the world a better place, Sierra thinks all people need to do is pay attention to how they treat others, the world around them and recognize that everyone can improve.

Mahroo Shahbaz is an outstanding student and member of the Douglas Park school community. She currently works as a crossing guard before school and she used to monitor a grade 3 class at lunch time. She also takes on extra responsibilities in the classroom. Mahroo’s most memorable school moment was being chosen to receive the class act award for March 2012. Mahroo wants to study Spanish, save the animals and maybe become a writer one day. Mahroo thinks we can make the world a better place to live by using electric cars.

Gabrielle Ricci Brookswood Secondary School

Haley Kloosterhof Langley Times Carrier

Why mess with a good thing? Gabrielle has achieved the top Academic Student in her grade for 4 consecutive years at Brookswood, from grades 8 to 11; she also happens to enjoy the same top standing in grade 12 at the moment with an average of over 95%. Gabrielle has participated in the French Public Speaking competition; the school band; the Peer Mediation team; the drama department’s annual Showcase of student plays, as actor, director, writer, and front-of house helper; soccer player in the Langley community, and part-time employee at the local IHOP. One of Gabrielle’s rewards is an Entrance Scholarship to UBC’s Faculty of Arts in September. In closing, she would like to thank everyone involved for including her in such a great event!

Haley Kloosterhof is going into grade ten at Langley Christian School next year. This past year she participated in various extra-curricular activities. The junior concert and jazz bands went to the Okanagan for a three-day tour at the beginning of May, and that was definitely one of the highlights of my year. Nothing brings a class of fifty-some teenagers together better than being crammed on a bus for an extended period of time. As for my paper route, I could probably do it with my eyes closed, seeing as I’ve had it for almost five years. I’ve gotten to know my community better, and built a lot of character delivering papers in the pouring rain.

Morgan Tayler Coghlan Fundamental Elementary School Morgan Tayler is a truly compassionate student who has risen above academic and social obstacles this year. This shy, quiet girl has an altruistic desire to help others. She is the first to offer a hug, an arm around the shoulder, or assistance when needed. She sees what needs to be done and anticipates ways to help out. Morgan recognizes the good in others and is always willing to be someone’s partner. She works hard. When schoolwork proves difficult, Morgan’s steely determination sets in and she practices and clarifies her way to a better understanding. Her work ethic is impeccable. Tiny in stature, Morgan has an enormous heart and will no doubt continue to model a standard of caring and perseverance throughout her education. Morgan has so many favorite moments at school that she can’t name just one. She is has not solid plans for the future, but has some interest in hairdressing. One thing Morgan feels strongly about is that everyone needs to work together to clean up litter and recycle to make the world a better place.

of the Tiffany Hordyk Langley Christian School

Eunice Punzalan Langley Fundamental Middle/Secondary School

It was no surprise that Tiffany was voted by her classmates to represent them as their Grad Speaker at Langley Christian High School’s graduation ceremony. In spite of grieving the loss of her father Len Hordyk last March, this community builder has been the driving force behind spirit week, spring ﬂing and most other student life events. Her inclusive, bubbly presence in the halls of LCS will be greatly missed. In the Fall Tiffany will be attending TWU for nursing. She has been awarded a Dean’s scholarship from TWU as well as LCS’ Kyle and Emile Memorial Scholarship which is awarded annually to a student who has made a positive contribution to student life, has been involved in a wide variety of extracurricular activities, and has generated a healthy school spirit.

Eunice is a force for positive change in the school community and by extension the greater community. She approaches her position as vice-president of student council with a spirit of service and an unwavering sense of fun which is frankly infectious. It’s just in her character to make others happy and to help others grow. After high school, Eunice plans to go to university. In order to make the world a better place, Eunice says we can do simple things like: volunteering at various events in one’s community, recycling, being kind to random strangers, and smiling more often.

Seraphina Skands R.E. Mountain Secondary School

Timothy Lee Walnut Grove Secondary School

Seraphina Skands was awarded the Most Inspirational Student at our graduation ceremony this year. In addition to maintaining a very high academic standard, Seraphina earned our highest service award for volunteering over 100 hours in every year since grade 8, participating in students’ council, restorative action, and Project Kenya while attending our honours program. Seraphina’s impact on the school was recognized by her peers when they elected her Student Council President in her grade 11 year. She held that position for grade 11 and 12. In everything Seraphina involves herself with, she models integrity, passion, humility, commitment and collaboration. Her leadership in school has been exemplary. She will be attending the University of the Fraser Valley next year.

Timothy applies everything he learns….because in his mind, there is a purpose for every piece of knowledge. Timothy will be continuing his postsecondary education in the Faculty of Science and then on to medicine. He has yet to decide whether or not he will walk through the doors of The University of Toronto or The University of Alberta, both have tried to entice him with scholarship offers. He has a GPA of 98.5%.

Victoria Ross Betty Gilbert Middle School

Maddie Millsip Langley Secondary School

Victoria was nominated because she is a well-rounded leader. She is a hardworking French Immersion student and plays volleyball and basketball on school teams. Outside of school, Victoria is very involved in Girl Guides; she plays baseball, and is also an umpire. She truly is a “Face of the Future”. Some of Victoria’s future plans are to stay in the french immersion all the way through and be bilingual. Also, to go to collage or university or both because she wants to be a dentist and needs the right training to know what to do. To make the world a better place is like no: littering or wasting water. But then there is a different kind of making the world like no name calling, gossiping and the most important of all bullying. All will help the world.

A CELEBRR ATION N OF LAA NGLEY’S OU U TSTAN N DING YOUTH H Chelsea Borrowdale James Kennedy Elementary

AJ Luck Langley Times Carrier

Chelsea is a well-rounded young lady who displays academic drive, outstanding athletic ability and impressive leadership skills. Chelsea enjoyed grade seven camp and bonding with her classmates while participating in activities such as kayaking and the team work challenges. She hopes to get a scholarship to UCLA and to win a gold medal for swimming in the Olympics. After she retires from swimming, Chelsea will become a prosecution lawyer in New York. She plans to make the world a better place by inspiring others to do their best and to follow their dreams. Right now she is volunteering at her church and when she is in high school, she wants to volunteer for PSA (Power to Stay Away).

AJ Luck has been delivering the Langley Times for 5 years now. It has provided him with spending money, savings and has allowed him to sponsor, monthly, a Rwandan teacher trainer through the Wellspring Foundation for Education. He was able to visit Rwanda and see the work that is being done ﬁrst hand recently. His family travelled together and helped out at the Wellspring Academy School as well as saw some of the beautiful countryside. AJ is a compassionate young man who sees when there is a need and quickly jumps in to help. He keeps his family chuckling with his humor and one liners that seem to pop out at the most opportune time. He is very good with computers and is quick to ﬁgure something out. He just made a computer on his own. For the summer, AJ is volunteering at Stillwood camp as a counselor. He has found holiday relief for his paper route so your paper will arrive as usual.

Marla McFee D.W. Poppy Secondary School

Colin Sankey Langley Fine Arts School

Marla is a highly accomplished student, athlete and musician. She will be the Valedictorian for the class of 2012. She loves volleyball and has been a member of Poppy’s volleyball team since grade 8. She also represented BC on the U16 Provincial Volleyball team. She has been awarded with 4 Provincial All-Stars and 1 National All Star during her volleyball career. Marla has been playing piano for 13 years, achieving Royal Conservatory Grade 10 status. She belongs to Student Government, Global voices and Grad council. Marla has been accepted to UBC’s Applied Sciences program but is not sure if she will take an Engineering path or an entrepreneurial path. She maintains 97% overall and will certainly ﬁnd success in either of those ﬁelds.

Colin is never satisfied until he has done his very best in his academic classes, as reflected in his high academic marks, especially in Math and Science. He is always willing to help others who struggle in these subjects, and he has been a peer tutor. Colin is a writing major at Langley Fine Arts, and he likes to write complex pieces using descriptive language to evoke emotions while stimulating the reader intellectually. His empathy for people who struggle at the margins of society is reflected in his work. He has an irreverent sense of humour, and he is also an accomplished skier. Music is Colin’s primary passion - he plays acoustic and electric guitar and electric bass for his own pleasure and in his church band, and he has played with a variety of rock and jazz groups. Next year he will be in the Vancouver Community College Music program.

William Park Gordon Greenwood Elementary

Rachel Goldbers R.E. Mountain Secondary School

William William’s dream to become a world-famous Olympic short track speed skater started in kindergarten. He started skating in South Korea, when he was about to begin grade three, he immigrated to Canada with his family. Once here he joined a skating club in Langley at Sportsplex and was given a chance to compete at the BC Provincial Short Track Speed Skating Championships and won the BC champion! If I get a chance to compete in the Olympics, which I really want, I might probably go in the 2018 Pyeong Chang Winter Olympics as a Canadian National Team member. I am very thankful for the support people around me are giving me such as my coaches (Eden Green and Julian Green) and of course my parents (Helen and Charles Park). Gordon Greenwood Elementary has helped me with my academics and music so I am ready to make great choices in high school and university. I believe my contribution to the sport of speed skating can make the world a better place to live because this is bringing different countries together.
