Fun times in the library!
Our library tables are currently being used by students for library bingo and other fun activities. However, the book fair is coming soon and Mrs. Brink and some Big Time fun planned! October 22nd-25th!
Last week, we read The Library Lion , went on a Lion Hunt, and found Leo our Library Lion! For Bk we read The Manners In The Library, reviewed book care and had some play time.
We are celebrating a 98% attendance rate for the first 15 days of school!!!!! That's terrific!!! Thank you to our Longfellow families who have been making the effort to prioritize education and make sure your children are at school each day!
And when our lions are absent, we really appreciate when parents call the office and follow through with doctor's notes!
Parents, students, teachers and staff, celebrate 98%!!!!
All Longfellow parents are welcome to attend our PTO meeting after school today! 3:30 in the conference room. See you soon.
We'd like to give a huge lion roar "Thank you" to The American Legion Ladies Auxiliary of Mitchell for the donation towards new recorders for our 4th graders again this year! We can't wait for our lions to show us what they learn at their recorder concert on February 5th!
Lions who completed the Public Library Summer Reading Program participated in an ice cream social at school today! They were treated with ice cream and all kinds of candy toppings! YUM!!! Mrs. Brink is so proud of all of our readers and was so excited to celebrate with them today!!
REMINDER:
There is an ice cream social for all students who turned in their completed yellow Public Library summer reading page. The ice cream social will occur at 2:30 this Friday in our commons. Those yellow pages were due today!
