A Note From Dr. Phillips
I hope everyone had a relaxing Thanksgiving Break. The Phillips Family was hit by the flu, so there was a lot of TV watching and naps!
I am looking forward to seeing all of the Long Leaders tomorrow! Please remember to dress for the weather and please label coats with names.

Direct Donation Drive
We are still running our direct donation drive, and need your help. Our goal is $10,000 and this directly affects our ability to pay for our book of the month club as well as provide for the design lab. A gift of just $23.55 per student would get us to our goal of $10,000 in our direct donation drive.
Thank you so much for all who have supported and will support our various events, and dine out nights...every dollar makes a difference!
Please consider a gift today!
PS Lets not sell over priced nuts and wrapping paper ever again!
Adopt-A-Family
This sign-up is for the Long Elementary 2022 Adopt-A-Family. This year we are asking for gift cards to give our families a holiday meal, a family experience together, and gifts for all family members. With these cards they can shop for that perfect gift for each other and also enjoy some fun family time over break. Please have gift cards turned in to school no later than Dec. 1st. We are so appreciative of the generosity of the Long family.

Staying Healthy During Flu Season
The holiday season means an increased risk for respiratory illness, but there are steps we can take to stay healthy.
Stay home when you are sick. This is the most important way to keep our friends and coworkers safe and protected.
Testing is one of our best tools to prevent the spread of COVID-19, along with getting vaccinated and boosted.
The CDC recommends that children age 6 months and older should get a Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. The CDC also recommends boosters for children age 5 and up, at least 5 months after their second shot.
The CDC estimates that between 6,000 and 26,000 children younger than 5 are hospitalized each year in the United States due to influenza. The flu vaccine is safe and helps protect children from flu.
Did you know? Improving ventilation in your home can help you reduce virus particles and prevent respiratory viruses from spreading.
