Mr. Bruna sang The National Anthem before our basketball game and the students joined in. It was so heartwarming to hear these young voices singing along! https://youtube.com/shorts/KsfwjkHNXJQ?feature=share

Reading matters! Sawyer Stoebner joined us today as our teachers and students battled it out on the b-ball court. See what Sawyer has to say about the importance of reading and staying active. https://youtu.be/1eahTw-oKRE

Student Council t-shirt order forms are due THIS FRIDAY. Please turn in the form, along with payment, to the office or to Miss Mertens by Friday. These are great shirts to wear anytime we have dress up days such as jersey day or black/gold day. Students can stop at the office or Miss Mertens's classroom to pick up another order form if needed.

April's lunch menu will be sent home with students on Tuesday. However, here is the link until then. https://5il.co/2gypg The newsletter should be available later this weekend. Remember, no school tomorrow, Friday or Monday, to celebrate Easter. See you Tuesday!

Wednesday was National Scribble Day! Mrs. Brink, in the library, had a lot of fun celebrating with the students.

Due to the travel required for out of town bands, the Young Festival Band Concert scheduled for March 25th will now be held Tuesday, April 2nd at 4:00pm at the Performing Arts Center. If your 5th grade band student was set to perform in Festival Band, please bring them to Longfellow tomorrow as they will attend a typical school day. On April 2nd, they will report to the PAC for a fun day of music!

Mrs. Brink is so excited for National Scribble Day March 27th! Next week bk-2nd grades will listen to two of Diane Alber's books and review kindness and inclusion. Then they will get to create their very own Scribble!

Report cards will go home with learners today. Please check backpacks for those. Good grades deserve ice cream, right?

That groundhog didn't know what he was talking about! Please have your children wear winter coats again as they will go outside each day, as long as the wind chill is above 0. Thank you!

Under Construction! You will notice some work happening to the landscaping in front of Longfellow. Thank you to the MSD maintenance staff for their work. We can't wait to see the changes! We are asking your children to stay on the sidewalk and not walk through the dirt. Please help remind them of that during arrival and dismissal. Thank you!

Bring on the future Longfellow Lions! Sessions are March 19th OR 21st and either 5:30 pm OR 6:30 pm.
