The Book Fair Happening NOW

The Book Fair is happening THIS MONTH, starting on Monday, Nov. 17 and ending on Tuesday, Nov. 25. This is one of the best volunteer opportunities all year and is a great way to see our school community, especially our students. Be the first to sign up to volunteer by going to https://bit.ly/LoESBookFair25.

RESTAURANT NIGHTS (Monthly)

(updated 11/16/25)

Enjoying good food and great company, while raising money sounds like an awesome opportunity! Every month the PTA organizes a Restaurant Night, where a portion of the sales will be donated directly back to us. All raised money goes to benefit our staff, our students, and our greater Longfellow community.
