Longfellow Receives Governor's Award for Educational Excellence Again!

A huge congratulations from the Longfellow PTA to Principal Kihm, all the teachers, and the entire staff for being one of 14 schools in all of Virginia selected for the 2018 Governor's Award for Educational Excellence. Longfellow has won this award for 10 of the last 11 years. What does it take to win this prestigious award? It starts with a commitment meet each student's individual needs as a learner while meeting the educational metrics set forth by the Virginia Department of Education. It ends with having our children well prepared for high school and beyond.

The PTA is proud to support Principal Kihm and her entire staff in this achievement. THANK YOU to all the parents who generously supported the PTA this year. As a result of your generosity, we were able to provide the school with over $50,000 to support the drive for excellence. Your money went toward the purchase of laptops and a laptop charging cart, teacher supplies, instructional materials, educational grants, and so much more.

We look forward to the new school year and continuing our support of excellence at Longfellow. Enjoy the rest of summer!
