Thank you to all of the families who have donated items or funds to our Annual Fund Fundraiser thus far! Please feel FREE to share the donation link with your family and friends! They will receive a receipt immediately when they contribute. The receipt can be used as a charitable, tax-deductible donation credit for the 2022 year. We will also be receiving donations until January 31, 2023, for the next income tax year!

We ask each Longleaf family to participate in the life and financial support of the school by making a contribution in any amount. Every dollar is greatly valued and appreciated. Our goals for the Annual Fund are to have 100% participation by Longleaf families and to raise $25,000. No amount is too small or too large! A high level of participation from the families Longleaf serves greatly enhances our school’s opportunities when we seek grants.

There are three ways you can contribute to the Annual Fund Fundraiser this year! One way you can donate is to use the following link: https://2022-2023-annual-fund-fundraiser.cheddarup.com

Dear LSA Staff and Families,

I would like to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for stepping to the plate and accepting the challenge of helping those in need this year during Christmas. Please know that your generosity will never go unnoticed. I am as appreciative as any social worker would be for those who bought gifts, donated money and gift cards, helped with identifying students in need, and planned and distributed all items received.

I personally have not been at Longleaf long enough to know each and every student or staff member by name. However, what I do know is that this school is the very reason that I get to say that I love what I do and the people that I am tasked to help daily. You all as a community do not fold or waver when it comes to helping those sitting next to you. All of you truly make my job easier. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being light in a world that many view as a dark place.

May Christmas and the coming New Year bring happiness and health to you and your family!

Best regards,

Mrs. Victoria Jones

School Social Worker
