Meet a couple of our amazing specialists! Mrs. Burgin (recently married!) teaches Art here and Mrs. Hiers is usually in the library, but she also fills in about anywhere else. Thank you both for being two more reasons Longfellow is the best! Happy Holidays, all!

Congratulations to our first LIONS OF THE WEEK award winners! These students were nominated by their classroom teachers for being Respectful, Responsible, Safe and Caring! Tomorrow, Group 2 winners will be celebrated! #SouthEndPride 🦁💙💛

We had a special visitor at school today! 🎅 🎄

These two guys have been walking into classrooms today and turning on the water faucets and then leaving. They’re looking for some kid named Kevin? Help please!

More from yesterday. Have a great break, Lions!

Observed some great learning in third grade at Longfellow today! ⁦Longfellow Elementary⁩ ⁦CouncilBluffsSchools⁩ #achievemore

It has been fantastic having our kids back in the building this week! 💙💛#SouthEndPride #AchieveMore

Congratulations to our first group of LIONS OF THE WEEK of 2021! These students were nominated by their teachers for being safe, responsible, respectful & caring! We even had 2 Virtual Academy students who won & will pick up their awards next week! We also had 2 sisters win!

Virtual Academy students are eligible to win “Lion of the Week” every Friday! Ms. Cavanagh not only chose a VA student, but she personally delivered her award yesterday! How sweet is this pic?! Congrats, Lillix! Thanks for being a fantastic teacher and person, Ms. Cavanagh!

This is Ezekiel. He’s a Virtual Academy student from Mrs. Harrison’s 4th grade class. She selected him as the class winner for Lion of the Week and he stopped in with his dad to pick up his award today. Thank you for showing your #SouthEndPride! Congrats! 🎊

Congrats to our January 22 Lions of the Week! As you can see in the pictures we once again had some Virtual Academy students (one is live in the group picture on the computer!) and another pair of siblings. #SouthEndPride 🦁💙💛 @renemolina_cbcs Chris Douglas

Miss Wetzbarger applied for and received a grant from the Council Bluffs Schools Foundation to supply her class with yoga mats! These first graders have loved getting to use them for brain breaks and mindfulness activities! Council Bluffs Schools Foundation

Yesterday was the 100th day of school. As always, kindergarten had some fun with it. 😁 Thank you to Ms. Cavanagh for the pictures!

Stop by Nutrition 712 today to support our incredible staff!!! Order the SOUTH END PRIDE or the BE WELL special. Both are made for our Longfellow community and available today only! #SouthEndPride

Tonight Miss Confer and Mr. Douglas took this sweet 2nd grader on a $100 Target shopping spree! She was one of two winners of our Pride Tickets grand prize drawing last month. Students earn Pride Tickets for being Safe, Responsible, Respectful and Caring.

At Tuesday night’s school board meeting our very own Kari Means was recognized as the district employee of the month! She serves as our behavior interventionist and has been a true champion for many of our students this year! Congrats, Mrs. Means! 💙💛🦁

Congrats to Aurora on being our second winner of the $100 Target shopping spree! Tonight she went shopping w/ Miss Wetzbarger & got some new books, toys & a sweet (& scented!) donut pillow! At the end of this month we will be giving away TWO brand new bikes! #SouthEndPride

A great day Kirn Middle School welcoming the students and parents from Longfellow Elementary! We can’t wait to welcome these 5th graders in August and watch them #AchieveMore as the Class of 2028! Go Lynx!

CONGRATULATIONS to these two wonderful humans! Mrs. Duschanek and Mrs. Damgaard were both honored this week as our February Staff Members of the Month! Both are incredibly deserving of this recognition and we are so lucky to have them as part of our Longfellow family! 💙💛🦁

One of these 5th graders brought $100 of her own money (w/ parent permission) to school. She wanted to buy ALL her classmates a book at the book fair. She didn’t want any acknowledgement, but Mr. Douglas invited her, her friends & her amazing teacher, Ms. C in for lunch today!
