WEEKLY PREVIEW
January 25, 2025
Hello, Longwood Families!
Thank you to the many families who joined us last night for our Winter Wonderland Silent Auction and Trivia Night! Your enthusiasm and support made the event a huge success, and weβre so grateful for our Longwood PTA for putting together such a fun evening!
π¦π Join Us for the Walking Bus!
Our Walking Bus Program is in full swing! Walking with a group provides so many benefits for our Lions:
- Improved attendance: Starting the day with friends encourages on-time arrival to school.
- Healthy habits: Walking is a fun way to get moving in the morning!
- Social connections: Students build friendships and enjoy a sense of community by walking with their classmates and Longwood teachers.
- Increased safety: Walking Bus Teachers provide supervision while students navigate crossing streets and neighborhood sidewalks.
