Longwood Leopards raised $700 for our school at Family SK8 Night on March 26th! It was a wonderful night of roller skating, dancing, and fellowship! The funds raised will greatly help supplement district funds to purchase technology and educational resources for our school!

Longwood Elementary is home to more than 45 students of military members. Held on April 15th of each year, “Purple Up! For Military Kids” is a day for Department of Defense Education Activity communities to wear purple to show support and thank military children for their strength and sacrifices. Purple Up! Day will be celebrated on Monday, April 15, 2024.

The Defense Department celebrates military children during the month of April. There are more than 1.6 million military children who face many challenges and unique experiences as a result of their parents' service.

While military members serve around the world, we often forget the challenges faced by their children. Military families move on average every two to three years, impacting military children through changing schools and support networks.

Each year, the DOD joins national, state and local government, schools, military serving organizations, companies and private citizens in celebrating military children and the sacrifices they make. (Source - U.S. Department of Defense)

Longwood Leopards are ready to learn, respectful, responsible, and safe!
