Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for Longwood Elementary
We are beyond thankful to the Citizens of Okaloosa County for approving the Half Cent Sales Tax in 2020. We are using those funds to fix, update, and build buildings across the District. One great example of these funds at work is Longwood Elementary School!
Longwood was built forty years ago and had what many would call an open concept with pod-style classrooms. This summer, walls were put in, and classrooms were updated, creating a more enclosed environment. Each classroom has brand-new functional furniture and technology! We celebrated this project with a ribbon cutting on Tuesday, October 3rd, and are thankful to all who came out to support us! Thank you, Okaloosa Voters, for making this and all our other projects possible!
