Thank you again for a fantastic Trivia Night & Silent Auction! We are so grateful for the incredible support from our Longwood community! Thanks to over 50 generous donations and gift baskets, our Silent Auction raised over $1600 to help fund the Longwood PTA and school-related events.
The Winter Wonderland Trivia Night was a huge success, with two packed sessions and many winners taking home winter-themed prizes and Target gift cards.
A special thank you to the Longwood Student Council for adding so much creativity and fun with their Winter Wonderland Photo Booth, Guess the Snowball Jar, and beautiful Winter Scene Mural display. Your hard work made the night even more magical!
We also want to extend our deepest appreciation to the amazing volunteers who helped throughout the eventโthis night wouldnโt have been possible without you!
It was a fun-filled evening with something for everyone, and we truly appreciate everyone who participated and supported this event.
Thank you for making it such a memorable night!
