It was a big day at Longfellow! The preschool classes went caroling at local nursing homes today. They had so much fun spreading holiday cheer! The Kindness Krew completed their big project for the quarter by delivering their holiday cards along with cookies and candy to the Marion Police Department, Fire Department, and Mercy ER. For their big project, they chose to spread holiday cheer with those who help our community. As a reward for far surpassing our the goal for the Parent Group Fundraiser, the students earned an Inflatable Day today! Each grade level had their own time to jump, jump, jump! The class who raised the most money got to have their own private jump time! Congratulations to Mr. H's class for earning that reward! #lesinspire

Kindergarten students in KP are hard at work graphing our favorite colors. Students counted carefully and talked about which colors had more, less, or the same. We had fun building early data and math thinking skills. #lesinspire

Kindergarten just wrapped up their CKLA knowledge unit on plants. In the unit they learned about bees and all they do for us. Today classes had a local Beekeeper come in and teach them even more about taking care of them and some fun facts. The classes were “buzzing” with excitement! #lesinspire

At MISD, keeping schools safe is a shared effort. A door left open—even for just a moment—can create real safety concerns.

As part of our Stop the Prop campaign, you’ll notice new stickers on school doors across the district. These gentle reminders ask everyone to close doors behind them and avoid propping doors open.

It’s a small step that makes a big impact. 🚸
