Come to a PTA meeting!
The PTA meets in the Longfellow Multi-Purpose Room in September, October, November, January, February, and March of each school year -- keep an eye on the Weekly Roar for specific dates and times. Everyone in the Longfellow community is welcome. Meetings are a good way to hear school updates, learn about PTA activities, share ideas, and meet other families.
You do not need to join the PTA to attend meetings, volunteer, or participate in PTA activities. If you would like to become a member, you can join online at this link.
Support Longfellow
The PTA relies primarily on donations from Longfellow families and community members. Every contribution helps, and participation at any amount is appreciated.
Volunteer
We have volunteer opportunities of all sizes, from helping for a few hours at an event to joining a committee or coordinating a program. Current needs include event support, fundraising, website updates, advisory room parents, and campus beautification.
