Our community is heartbroken at the loss of kindergartener, Baptiste Andry, and our hearts and thoughts go out to his family and friends. The Andry family is grateful for the love and support that has been shown to them and has asked that anyone wishing to donate in Baptiste’s make donations to the Save the Children Charity - https://www.savethechildren.org/ or to the Longfellow PTO in support of our Book Fair and Super Summer math program: link here. We are humbled to receive this support in Baptiste's memory and we will continue to honor his life and love of learning with your contributions.  The parade will go down Jackson. Turn south on Highland. Turn West on Van Buren. Turn North on Ridgeland. Turn East on Jackson and then turn onto the blacktop.
