The final number is in and we raised $92,434 from our Jogathon fundraiser!!! That is a record number and we couldn't have done it without the support of so many incredible Longfellow families and friends. We will be able to continue next year with the many different programs PTA funds (an additional day of music with Mr. Petri, Meet the Masters, Family Movie Night, Science Night, etc.) and the additional funds will be put towards upgrading our playground! We recently learned we are one step closer to receiving the Kaboom grant that will help fund a play structure...we will hopefully have good news to share soon!

Grade-Level Competition
Congratulations to 2nd Grade for winning the grade-level competition for the second year in a row!! They pushed at the end and had an amazing 70% participation rate in fundraising and will be awarded an extra recess and funds for PE equipment! Kindergarten families had the lead up until the end and finished with 66% participation, but don't be disappointed...Kindergarten will be awarded with funds for playground equipment for raising the most money (nearly 30% of the total amount raised). 

Top Fundraising Contributor
The student who earned the awesome privilege of sliming our principal, Mr. Sigur, goes to....Lucas Katz, a kindergarten student in Mrs. Wakefield's class. His family raised more than $3,000 for Longfellow! Congratulations, Lucas!!
