We are ready to meet next year's kindergarteners and begindergarteners. Please make sure your child's name is added to our mailing list today! If you know of someone who will have a student entering the district, please have them fill out the form and we will make sure the correct school receives their information. We are so excited to meet our newest learners!



Who doesn't love popcorn? YUM!

It's time for football!


Who's ready for some football fun? Mrs. H and Mrs. Kristensen are ready for the Packers/49er's game. They have agreed that the 'loser' has to wear the other's jersey on Monday! So, let's make sure the halls are awash of red OR green. Make sure your kids ask you what the outcome of the game is.


Let's thank our teachers at conferences! Please sign up for food/drink donations to say thank you to our amazing staff at Longfellow! We will be providing Arby's sandwiches the staff on Thursday, February 1st during conferences, but will need a few other items. Please have all donations to the school no later than 4:00 pm on Thursday, February 1st. Thank you for your help and support!

We cannot say enough, how much we care about the students in our building. Each day we work to teach them while building relationships and creating lifelong memories. So now, while we enjoy some time at home in our pajamas, sleeping in and having extra family-time, we hope you will do the same. But on January 3rd, 2024, we will be ready to see their smiles (and ocasional eye-rolls) again. From all of us at Longfellow Elementary, we wish you a blessed, safe, and happy holiday season!


The Longfellow Newsletter is ready for January. December was a month FULL of fun, learning and memories! https://www.smore.com/u/longfellow


Lots of fun was had in the library this week!
We had our snowman competition which resulted in a library FULL of snowmen.
Our lions also received sweet bears donated by Casa. Thank you!





Candy Cane Sales coming up on Wednesday the 21st!


We have amassed quite a few hoodies and sweatshirts in our lost and found. We would love to clean that up before Christmas break. Please remind your child(ren) to look at the tables. Parents/guardians are also welcome to look for any items that their kids might be missing.


Looking for a few more gifts to put under the Christmas tree? Books are ALWAYS a great choice. Purchasing books through this link means money will do directly towards more books for our library!
