Family to Family Giving
Are you looking for an opportunity to show your kids what it means to give to others? Well we have the opportunity for you! Longfellow’s Family to Family Program!
The Family to Family Program provides students with NEW winter accessories and clothing items needed this time of year. All of these items come from generous donations within our Longfellow family. We kindly ask that the items be NEW and not used.
When you are out and about in the coming weeks, and you have the ability to pick up an extra item or two, families would appreciate it! Please bring them to the Longfellow school office present boxes by Wednesday, December 21st.
Below is a list of items that schools are in need of this year. There have been many child size items donated in the past, so our focus this year is more on students in adult sizes. Monetary donations are accepted as well.
- Waterproof gloves (big kids/adult sizes)
- Boots (big kids/adult sizes)
- Hooded sweatshirts
- Zip-up hooded sweatshirts
Thank you for your continued support of this impressive program. Your kindness and generosity is appreciated!

Volunteers Needed To Lead 2nd -5th Grade Book Clubs
We are looking for volunteers to lead a book club starting the first week of January through the last week in March. Book Club is held every other week during the group's lunch time. Book Club is for 2nd through 5th graders. The amount of volunteers determines how many kids are able to participate. Volunteers can include parents, grandparents, older siblings, etc. The library provides the books. The volunteer helps encourage reading and leads the discussion. '

3rd Grade Lunch is 11:55 AM-12:25 PN

Pop Tab Collection for Ronald McDonald House
By saving tabs from your pop, energy drinks, soup and beverage cans
you can help the families of the
Ronald McDonald House of the Red River Valley!
Pop tabs are collected and recycled and the profits go directly
to help families stay with us at the Ronald McDonald houses.
For such a small item, the pop tabs have a big impact.
The Ronald McDonald houses serve as a "home away from home"
for families who have a child receiving medical care
in Fargo – Moorhead.
Thank you for helping us

Ms. Hamilton, 1st grade teacher, is the point of contact for the Pop Tab Collection at Longfellow. She can get you a special box to save them in from the Ronald McDonald House, or you can just save them in a ziplock baggie . When you have some to turn in, drop them off at the office, or bring them to Ms. Hamilton’s room #8. Thanks so much for supporting this great cause!
