Hello, Longwood Families!
It was another exciting week filled with fun at Longwood!
Students in Ms. Diesing's class had the privilege of hosting a special guest this week - an owl expert! They learned fascinating facts and dissected owl pellets, and observed unique features of these nocturnal creatures. On Friday afternoon, families gathered in Mrs. Lehmann's class for a Family Game Party! Mystery Readers were spotted in many classrooms this week, including KE and 1M. Volunteers were spotted shelving books in the LMC and working with our spectacular students in Ms. Kluge's class and Mrs. Green's class. Family engagement is a cornerstone of our school community and we appreciate all of our visitors and volunteers!
