Thank you to everyone who purchased raffle tickets from our Lions this past month. Children can learn valuable lessons when approaching family members or friends about purchasing a ticket. We appreciate our Longfellow families for always going above and beyond with our raffle sales. We had a blast getting painted this year and the kids had a blast being the artists! Let's celebrate tonight at the Decade Disco from 5:30-7:00pm. Remember that Longfellow Gear orders are due today and we will accept orders and payment tonight at the disco. But after 7:00pm, we have to shut it down. No orders will be accepted next week.

We had so much fun today!!! What a great time we had painting the teachers and make the Mayor a Masterpiece! Watch for more photos and videos. We did some live videos today that you can watch. Thanks for a fun time! We love our PTO and staff representatives. We have great staff members who love making memories with our lions.

Ice Cream for a reward? Yes PLEASE!

Tomorrow is the day! Our lions have been working hard, selling raffle tickets Sept 10-24 and they ROCKED it! Today we celebrated with ice cream for all of the classes that met their goal and tomorrow they get to paint a teacher. In the past, they have gotten to turn teachers and our principal into a hot dog, ice cream sundae, cupcake, or slime them, etc. But this year, it's paint! Plus, with Mrs. H in a cast, we have a special stand-in guest. Watch for live videos and photos at the end of the day tomorrow.

Please check out our newsletter for October. You will find that we have a lot of fun! Educating elementary students is never boring! Thank you for sharing your children with us.

We are having a bodacious day at Longfellow. It's 80s day! Our halls are full of mallrats. The colors are bright, the hair is high and, and the leather jackets are bogus but it's totally rad! Our fly den teachers dressed up as their fave cartoon and we think they look tubular!

It is the week of Homecoming and our lions were tasked with dressing like a teacher. We have some VERY professional students! Teachers dressed up like students, so we had some pretty comfy teachers!

Reminder that Longfellow clothing order forms are due Oct 3rd. If you need a form, let the teacher know or stop in at the office.

Lions are hitting the town and selling raffle tickets for our only annual fundraiser. All money raised will go to our Longfellow PTO who pays for field trip bussing, classroom materials, playground equipment and so much more! The drawing will be held October 3rd, at our Decade Disco. If your name is drawn, prizes include: $300, $200 or $100!! When classes meet their goal, they get to 'paint a teacher' of their choosing!

We caught our youngest Lions working on the very basic of skills, properly walking up and down stairs. Every other foot on every other step. It seems simple but it is a big milestone in development. Begindergarten is a great place to focus on those skills we need to become a student who is ready to learn! You can work on these things at home too. Putting on shoes, dressing and undressing (clothes, jackets, snow pants), opening doors by themselves, carrying their plate, cleaning up spills, etc. Something as small as helping put away groceries grows confidence while using all of their muscles and coordination.

Homecoming is here. Join our Student Council for dress up next week. Remember, no face paint, colored hair spray or hats allowed. Gooooooo KERNELS!

The Marching Band Preview Night is TOMORROW (Fri, Sept 19th). While all are encouraged to attend the game, our 5th grade band members are JOINING the MHS Marching Band to experience what it's like to perform at a football game!
