Can you help build?

At Longfellow, we believe in nurturing every aspect of our students' well-being. Our teachers, as well as our emotional and mental well-being teams have laid a strong foundation to support social development, mental health, and overall happiness. 🧠💖

But we're not stopping there! To further enhance our supportive environment, thanks to Scheels and Olmsted County Bridge Collaborative we’re adding TEN picnic benches to our outdoor space to provide students another space to connect, unwind, and grow. By adding these tables, we’re making a visible, tangible commitment to our students' well-being and helping them thrive. 🌟🙌

If you can come to help build on Monday, the 16th from 1:30pm until 3:30pm, please stop by to help. You can sign up here: https://signup.com/client/invitation2/secure/11412711780126/

Let's continue to build a community where everyone feels at home and ready to tackle whatever comes next. Thanks for your support in making this vision a reality. 💪❤️
