Longfellow PTO 2023-2024 School Year

 

Welcome!! 

 

The Longfellow PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) would like to welcome all new and returning families to the 2023-2024 school year. We hope you had a relaxing summer and are ready for another exciting school year. We invite you to join our team this year as we explore new ways to aid our children through their challenging middle school years. Our meetings are open to everyone. If you have a student at Longfellow, you are a member of the PTO. There are no membership dues or fees. Everyone is welcome to join us at any of our upcoming meetings that begin in September. All meetings are held in the LMC/library at Longfellow.  

 

Please email us at lacrosselongfellowpto@gmail.com to be added to our email distribution list and receive monthly communications from our group! 

 

Why get involved? 

Middle school can be an incredibly challenging time for our children.  Are you concerned about the emotional, educational, and overall well being of your middle school student? Are you seeking more information about what is happening in our school? Come join us at the monthly PTO meetings to share ideas, ask questions and meet other Longfellow parents and staff. 

 

Our PTO Meetings are held on the 4th Monday of each month from 6:30 to 8:00 pm in the Longfellow LMC:

Thank you Volunteers, Staff, and Families!

The Longfellow PTO would like to extend our sincere thank you to the families, staff and friends who were supportive throughout the 2022-23 school year!  We held our annual fall Pinnacle fundraiser. Through the hard work and support of our families, staff, and friends, we raised over $15,000.  With those funds, we were able to purchase classroom supplies, help to bring an author in to work with each POD, purchase Newberry Medal award books and books for classroom libraries, provide bussing for various field trips, snacks for all students during state testing week(s), funds toward yearbooks and the 8th grade recognition celebration as well as other contributions.  We look forward to supporting our school again this fall.

We will place staff requests for assistance (example – covering books) as well as opportunities to volunteer for Parent Teacher Conference meals in our monthly e-mail.  Even if you cannot attend a PTO meeting, being able to help with a food item at conferences or being able to help collect envelopes or with prize distributions for the fundraiser, makes a difference and is greatly appreciated.  

Thanks again for your generous support of Longfellow PTO!
