FRIENDS AND FAMILY GAMES AND PIE NIGHT!! (NOVEMBER 28th from 7-8pm)
After a lot of contemplation, we're going to start a new tradition that includes the entire school, connects family and friends, and allows us to share a meal...so to speak.
You are invited to attend our first annual Friends and Family Game and Pie Night at Longbranch. We'll provide the board games (but if you have one you want to bring and share we'd love that too), we'll also provide the whipped cream and the coffee and bottled water. Each family is asked to bring a pie to share and a non-perishable item to donate to either the Northern Kentucky Cold Shelter (paper towels, toilet paper, new men's socks, winter hats, scarves, gloves) or to Welcome House (Diapers, Shampoo, Conditioner, Soap).
Family Holiday Movie Night DECEMBER 12th (from 7-8pm)
7-8pm at school. Movies start promptly at 7pm so come a little early to get settled. Doors open at 6:45.
