LL News: 6.8.25 Last Day Wednesday & Half Day of School
Good evening Long Lake Families,
This is Kate Burwinkel with the news for this week.
Our 2024-25 school year is nearly complete and it seems to have just flown by. As I reflect upon this year, I am grateful to so many people. To raise our children, it takes a village and the collaboration of every adult who interactions with them. I am honored to have been a part of Long Lake’s journey this year and I am thrilled to start 2025-26 year together.
As we part for summer, I want to share some exciting planning that is going on at Long Lake! NEW HOUSE SYSTEM AT LONG LAKE NEXT YEAR: Our school theme next year will be incorporating a House System. You might know about this if you've read any of the Harry Potter books. The House System is also used at a famous school called the Ron Clark Academy. Some of our 4th grade leaders created a video introducing this launch next year! Check it out here: Long Lake HOUSE Introduction Video
