Longfellow Elementary

We hope you all have a terrific weekend!

Just a reminder that next week is Teacher Appreciation Week. A simple note means the world to our teachers—that’s truly all they ask for.

Thank you for allowing us to work with your children. They are a blessing to us each and every day… even on the challenging ones.

Wear black and gold tomorrow for a special photo we're taking in the morning. If your child has PJ day (Mrs. Rehort's room) please wear a black or gold shirt and they can change into their PJ top after the photo.

Our 1st graders in Mrs. Schnabel’s class were rockin’ it today! They’re learning all about different types of rocks, including pet rocks! Our Lions had a blast naming their pets and creating cozy little homes for them. So much creativity and fun in one classroom!

Some of our lions got a little “sun-powered learning” in today. At this point, we’re pretty convinced their batteries recharge in the sun.

Some wind-blown dandy-lions!

Let’s get ready to rumble, Longfellow!
March Reading Madness is in full swing, and our Lions are bringing their A-game to the court! After devouring books and earning AR points like true champions, our top readers are ready for the ultimate showdown in a Students VS. Teachers matchup.
The top 3 readers from each class earned their spot, and one lucky Lion was drawn to represent their class in this exciting basketball battle.
Will the teachers outscore the students? Will the students defend their title? And… will we have any special guest appearances this year?

Longfellow families who receive Weekend Snack Packs: Your child(ren) will be brining home a sack of potatoes today or tomorrow. Please enjoy this generous donation to your Easter supper!

A book was left on our playground the other day. It looks like a parent might have been reading while their kiddos got some fresh air. If you forgot your book, stop in an pick it up.
