⋆｡‧˚ʚ🐯ɞ˚‧｡⋆ Hello, Longden Families.

We had another fantastic week of learning and fun at Longden, and here are some highlights!

🎨 The Longden Library's paper pumpkin decorating contest was a huge success, and we were blown away by our Tigers' talent and creativity! 

🫶🏼 Big shout-out to our superstar guest judges: Dr. Art Cunha, Dr. Stacy Ayers, and TCUSD Board Member Mary Sneed, who faced a tough job of picking the winners. 

٩(^ᗜ^ )و Congrats to everyone who entered — you all rocked it with your awesome designs! We loved seeing all the fun and spooky pumpkins. Can’t wait to do it again next year!

PTA's Fun Run was a tremendous success — thanks to the amazing support of our students, families, and the Longden community! Together, we exceeded our fundraising goal of $40,000, to support school programs, classroom resources, and student activities. A huge thank you to our PTA, everyone who donated and volunteered. 

🌳🍁 Our school came together to build a UNITY Tree, with each leaf sharing a kind and uplifting message. It's all about spreading good vibes, celebrating what makes us unique, and standing together against bullying. A little kindness goes a long way — and our tree proves it! Check out more fun pictures of our Unity Day celebration here.

🏈𓃵💚💛 TC Rams teamed up to help our Tigers during drop-off this morning. What a way to kick off the homecoming game tonight! GO RAMS! Don't forget to follow them on Instagram.

We have another exciting week planned for next week. Here's a quick sneak peek of the fun activities we’ve lined up:
