LMS PTA

Welcome to the 2020-2021 Longfellow Community

Dear Longfellow families:

Welcome or welcome back to our wonderful community of Longfellow Middle School (LMS). We are very fortunate here to have such amazing staff, teachers, and parents that work together to create an environment of Excellence for our children.

The 2020-2021 school year is just a few weeks away, and while the format for school may be different, the commitment to Excellence for our community remains unchanged - to provide our students, teachers, and administrators with the support they will need to provide the best possible education to our students.

Our LMS PTA works tirelessly to ensure the entire LMS family has every opportunity to be involved in our childrens' success. We are always looking for more members (INDSERT LINK)! In a time of social distancing, the LMS PTA seeks to create the connections our community needs now, more than ever before.

The PTA serves a vital role in supporting the LMS community tradition of Excellence, and that role has only become more important during this time:

Impactful: The LMS PTA will invite key players such as the principal, school staff, and other speakers to best help support LMS families with monthly talks.
Community Building (online): The LMS PTA will support a feeling of community and school spirit even online.
Provide Resources: As a family engagement association, the LMS PTA plays a unique role as a go-between with your school and your community. In a crisis like this one, that role becomes even more important {Insert Join Link}
Keeping Revenue Coming In: The LMS PTA can’t do all of the great things it does without resources. We will continue to fundraise and support local businesses (for instance, with Family take-out nights).

Our 2020 Support Excellence Campaign strives to support the classroom (virtual and in-person) to enhance every student's learning, providing grants and stipends for teachers, classroom supplies, including assignment books, teacher appreciation events, and teacher and staff development programs. Your support directly impacts every student. All donations are 100% tax-deductible.

On behalf of the LMS PTA Board, thank you for all you do to support children and families. Quarantine is really tough, but we want you to know that you’re doing an amazing job and we’re so #PTAProud of you!

Together we can inspire and support Excellence at Longfellow.

With Appreciation,
2020 - 2021 LMS PTA Executive Committee
