On Monday, Feb. 17, it is National Random Acts of Kindness Day. Since we don't have school on the 17th, we want to celebrate all week long!
Please join us in dressing up from Feb. 18 - 21 to celebrate kindness!
Get your roses while they last!
Today is Safer Internet Day! The South Dakota ICAC Task Force is committed to ensuring a better Internet for all. Their goal is to inspire frequent and open conversations between parents and children regarding Internet safety.

All week long, we have been celebrating our AMAZING school counselor, Mrs. Kapfer!

The Student Council will be selling foil-wrapped chocolate roses for $3.00 a piece in preparation for Valentine's Day.
You can choose from 1 of 3 notes to go with your rose: I'm Grateful for You!, I Appreciate You!, or You're the Best!
Student Council members will be taking orders starting Monday, February 3, 2025.
They will be on the stage in the commons each morning that week before school until they run out of roses. The roses will be delivered on Thursday, February 13, 2025 by the end of the day (as we do NOT have school on Valentine's Day).
The Dental Bus will be available for students on February 10th and 11th at Longfellow Elementary! If you'd like to register your student(s), paperwork will be provided during GBR conferences this Thursday, January 30.
Please reach out to our school nurse, Mrs. Snoozy, with questions.

Join us in congratulating our GBR Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Way, and our GBR Classified Staff of the Year, Mrs. Kate!

We are so proud to call you both GBR Golden Arrows! Congratulations!
Hey, Golden Arrows!
A group at Longfellow is organizing this, but it's for our district Weekend Snack Pack program so we all benefit! Please note that each grade level is asked to bring something different. There will be a large bin out by the brick planter in our commons for drop-off.
