Longfellow PTA

Our warmhearted thanks to the Longfellow MS community who donated to the food collection drive for the many children of Hybla Valley Elementary School.  Your contributions have helped fill their pantries over Winter Break. 

At Longfellow, we are all one community. It is for this reason that every year we do our best to help families that are less fortunate, especially in this difficult economy.

Please consider helping others for the holidays this year by participating in the following:

(1) Our Daily Bread --- This program is free and the only thing you need to do is fill out the application. This programs helps adults and children in the household but is not guaranteed since they depend on families that will volunteer to sponsor the families in their database. Click here to sponsor a family.

(2) Longfellow Student Services office sponsored program - This program provides gift cards to pass onto families at Longfellow. If your family would like to contribute a gift card to the Student Services Office, please send in to Alexia Candamo or Samantha Kramer by Wednesday, December 14th. Some ideas are gift cards to book stores, movies, mall, clothing stores, iTunes, or regular Visa/Mastercard, etc. There was a recent paragraph regarding this Holiday Assistance program in the recent Lancer Times.

If you have any questions about the program, please contact your child's counselor, Alexia Candamo at Alexia.Candamo@fcps.edu, or Samantha Kramer at Samantha.Kramer@fcps.edu.
