🐯 Hello Longden Families,

We’ve had an exciting week at Longden! 

Our students have been hard at work creating projects to showcase at Open House, along with many other pieces of work they’ve completed throughout the year. Teachers are also hard at work preparing their classrooms for this special event. We can’t wait to welcome you and share the learning and creativity our students have achieved.

📸 Spring Picture Day
A big thank you to our PTA volunteers for helping everything run smoothly and making sure our students looked picture-perfect for their photos!
Our sixth graders also took their final elementary school portraits as they get ready for their next adventure as future Lions at Oak Ave. Middle School. 🦁

🎶 Elementary Spring Concert
What an awesome couple of evenings at the Elementary Spring Concert at Oak Ave. Middle School! Our young musicians gave fantastic performances that showed their hard work, growth, and love of music..

🧺🥪 Lunch on the Lawn
We wrapped up the year with our final Lunch on the Lawn—and it was a great one! Beautiful weather, fun music, and a strong sense of community made the day really special.
Thanks to everyone who came out. We’re already looking forward to bringing this tradition back next year!
