A Request from Nurse Jenn

The nurse's office is running very low on boys and girls pants. If you have any gently-used clothing you could donate, it would be much appreciated!

Mathathon

Every year our school participates in the Mathathon, which raises money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. This will be our 8th year participating.  In the last 7 years, Longfellow has raised about $38,645! While it is completely optional to participate in, many students enjoy it because they are able to do fun math problems and win prizes while raising money to help kids who are sick.  Information/consent forms were sent home. Math funbooks will be sent home before winter break. (Student can also do the funbooks online which they are able to start ASAP.) Money raised will be due by Friday, Jan. 24th so students have all of winter break to complete the math problems and collect the money. The class that raises the most money will get 10 bear necessities each!!  If you have any more questions about this, please contact Ms. Smith at esmith@op97.org.
