🐯 Hello Longden Families,

It’s been a wonderful week of hard work, growth, and appreciation at Longden!

🚂 All Aboard!
Fourth graders embarked on an adventure at the Irvine Railroad Park, where they participated in a hands-on program centered on California history. Students stepped back in time to explore life during California’s early days through interactive activities, storytelling, and historical demonstrations. The experience gave students a deeper understanding of California’s rich past.

♫ VAPA Showcase
Bravo to our talented VAPA 5th and 6th grade students for their amazing performances! Their hard work and progress shone brightly on stage.

🌏 Multicultural Night
We had a wonderful celebration of diversity, culture, and community as families and students came together for Multicultural Night! Traditions, food, music, and experiences from around the world were shared. The event highlighted the rich cultures that make our Longden community so special.

🍽️ Volunteer Appreciation Brunch
We celebrated our wonderful volunteers with a special brunch to thank them for the countless ways they support our school community. From helping in classrooms and organizing events to chaperoning field trips and lending a helping hand whenever needed, your dedication and generosity make a lasting impact on our students and staff each day.
Thank you for your time, enthusiasm, kindness, and unwavering support. We are truly grateful for all that you do to help our Longden thrive.

Our summer camp serves as a fundraiser for the Temple City High School Swim and Water Polo teams. Our camp is ran by our high school athletes who are not only volunteering their time and talents, but are giving back to the Temple City Community. While they are proficient athletes, have received basic training and instruction, please be patient and understanding as these young student-atheletes grow as instructors and community leaders.

夏令营温馨提示:
请注意,本次活动属于“夏令营”性质,而非正式的“游泳教学课程”。若要参加游泳夏令营,您的孩子必须具备独立游完25码(即泳池全长)的能力,且仅需极少辅助(例如使用浮板)。若要参加水球夏令营,您的孩子必须具备独立游完至少25码的能力,且全程不得停顿或借助任何辅助工具。

本次夏令营旨在为 Temple City 高中的游泳队和水球队筹集资金。夏令营由我校高中队的运动员们负责运营;他们不仅无偿贡献出自己的时间和才华,更以此作为回馈 Temple City 社区的一种方式。尽管这些高中生运动员技艺精湛,且已接受过基础的教学培训与指导,但恳请各位家长给予充分的耐心与理解,陪伴这些年轻的学生运动员在担任教练和社区领袖的角色中不断成长。
