Wishing you a happy Thanksgiving! May you find quiet moments to reflect on your blessing. Recognizing the good in our lives brings more peace than anything else.

Turkey is for Thursday but Pizza is for Wednesday!

You're right, pizza DOES sound amazing! Starting Wednesday!!!

Today was a shock to the system. It's COLD! Please send a WINTER coat with your child. If you do not have one, the Caring Closet is available as is The Salvation Army and Goodwill. If you are unable to provide a coat, please reach out to your child's teacher or the office.

No School Wed-Fri 11/26-28. Enjoy 5 days off!!!

Loved having Mrs. Tate’s Creative Writing class with us today! Thanks for visiting!

Dress up days next week for American Education Week Nov. 17-21st.

You won't want to miss this!

We’ve gathered quite a few “lost” jackets and hoodies lately! Please stop by and take a look—yours might be here waiting for you.

October was packed with fun and exciting events — all while our students continued learning and growing! Our incredible teachers amaze us every day with their creativity, dedication, and passion. 🦁💛

We hope you'll tune in tonight to watch the feature on Damon Bartscher.

Hello, Thank you to everyone who attended Damon's celebration today! Coverage by Dakota News Now will air on Friday. If they provide us a certain news time, we will pass that along. Mrs. H

Hello parents of current LO children –
If you have been following the Longfellow Facebook page, or have seen the Daily Republic article on our very own Damon Bartscher, then you know tomorrow will be an exciting yet bittersweet day for Longfellow Elementary families. If you are able, we will have an outdoor celebration for current and all former LO families to attend, or anyone that has been lucky enough to have crossed paths with Damon Bartscher. The event will begin at 2:45 pm, out front and around the perimeter of the school. We realize people are working, etc., so this will be a brief event so many can attend. Let’s help fill our block with friends of Damon Bartscher, to show him as much love as he has shown for LO over the past four decades.
Parents that attend are welcome to find your child/ren’s teacher after the event and take your child/ren with you at that time. If your child attends that after school program, the kids will head back inside with their directors as normal.
We hope you all can attend and help make this event special for Damon as he nears his retirement day!
Thank you,
Mrs. Heckenlaible

We love seeing our Longfellow families!

We are so excited to see all of you tonight at conferences. The book fair will be open during conferences!

It’s been nonstop fun and learning at Longfellow lately!
Don’t just take our word for it—ask your Lions!
🔸 Are they part of a den?
🔸 Did they celebrate something today?
🔸 Which civilization are 5th graders exploring?
🔸 What life cycles did 2nd grade dive into?
🔸 Which letter sound did kindergarten work on?

So much happening—so much to share!
