Longfellow Elementary PTO - Houston

Congratulations to our three 5th graders who won the competition to have their art showcased for FIFA for everyone to see! Go check out all their hard work on Walker and Emancipation! Special shout out to Ms. Snow for making all this happen for our kiddos! Gooooooo Leopards! 🐾

There will be no school on Monday, May 25th in observance of Memorial Day. We honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.
We hope our Leopards enjoy a safe and restful holiday weekend! We will see everyone bright and early Tuesday morning, May 26th! 💙💛

Greetings, Families!!!

This is a reminder that this week is Teacher Appreciation Week. Below are a few suggested ways your child can show their teacher(s) how much they are appreciated. Feel free to participate in one, some, or all of the days.

Of course, participation is completely optional, and you are always welcome to show appreciation in your own special way.

Let’s make our teachers feel valued and celebrated this week! 💛

Greetings, Longfellow Families!

Teacher Appreciation Week is right around the corner, and we are excited to celebrate the incredible educators who pour into our students each and every day.
As a campus, we have shared a few optional, fun ideas for students to show their appreciation throughout the week. This is simply a suggestion—there is no expectation to participate in a specific way.
We do encourage all families to find a meaningful way to show appreciation for your child’s teacher, whether it’s a kind note, a drawing, a small gesture, or words of gratitude. These simple acts go a long way in reminding our teachers how valued they are.
Thank you for your continued partnership and for helping us celebrate the heart of Longfellow—our teachers! 🐆💛
