Colder weather is on the way! Now is a great time to sort through your family’s coats to see what still fits and what has been outgrown. Consider donating clean, gently used coats to the Cozy Coats program and help keep others warm this winter!
Do to rainy weather the last time, we have moved the 5th grade band preview day to THIS FRIDAY for our 5th grade band students. We know our Lions will love spending time with the MHS marching band.
We want you to get prepared for this year's Family Fitness Challenge! You can do that by joining the Facebook Group 2026-27 Longfellow Lions Fitness Challenge. You will not want to miss out as we will have many amazing prizes each month! Challenges will be announced on the night of conferences! Mrs. Eitemiller will be available at conferences so please ask her about it and get involved.

We love to see these Longfellow Lions and smiling faces after getting drawn as this week's Kernel Card winners. It makes us even happier knowing they were respectful, responsible, and safe to earn those cards throughout the week.
Please check your child's backpack for their assigned conference time.

What a great sport Dr. O was! He joked around that if ate anymore donuts from classes meeting their raffle ticket goals he'd become a donut. Turns out he was right. Thank you Dr. O for all you do to support our students and make their time in school memorable.

Is there someone at Longfellow who deserves a shout-out? It could be the para your child talks about, the librarian who introduced them to a new favorite book series, the office staff member who helped find a spare pair of shoes, or the teacher who makes them love coming to school.
Send them a quick note! A few kind words can make someone’s whole day.

Longfellow has become the Land of Lost Lunchboxes! 🦁 If you recognize one in these photos, please remind your Lion to pick it up.
Please also put your child’s name on the outside of their lunchbox. It helps us reunite lost lunchboxes with their owners and close down this land of the lost!
