Congratulations to Mrs. Wandsneider's second grade class and Mrs. Schroeder's second/third grade class for winning an extra gym class for having the most students wear tennis shoes to P-E.  For safety reasons, it is important that children wear tennis shoes to P-E class everyday.

The kindergarten and 1st grade students are working on their hand-eye coordination at Longfellow.  They were using balloons and paddles to work on this important skill. 

Longfellow students had the opportunity to attend Operation Move which was held at the US Cellular Arena on December 11th.  Operation Move is an event that focused on learning the importance of staying active throughout life.  The event feature Figureheads, The Ability Center, The Zoological Society and Greg Jennings along with other presentation focusing on health and wellness.  It was a fun event and a new experience for our students.
