2025-2026 PTA Membership Drive Underway

Click here to become a member of the Longfellow Elementary PTA.

Your membership allows the PTA the ability to support students, provide resources to teachers and staff, distribute information to and advocate for our school community, and create opportunities for connection.

Members are the driving force behind the work we do. From events and fundraisers to celebrations and hospitalities for our teachers - the PTA and our committees are responsible for these actions.

Most importantly, as a PTA member you have a vote. With your vote, your agency, you help decide the directions that we take, and why we take them.

INFORMATION. ACTION. AGENCY. Sign up NOW. The annual cost is $15 per membership.
