You're never too old to learn! To help celebrate 100 DAYS of school, students dressed up as 100 year olds. Our February newsletter will have more photos so be sure to watch for that at the end of the month.
100 Days Smarter!!!
Our Student Council presented us with a fun dress up day tomorrow. Remember, no props. We still have a day of learning so keep that in mind when planning for dress-up days. We will still go outside, have gym, etc. Thank you!

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.

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
