There are two ways to order photos: Online at mylifetouch.com using the picture day ID number for Long Lake- EVTJPXXQV. Orders can also be placed by returning the envelope with payment prior to September 23rd.
LONG LAKE OLYMPIC FUNDRAISER: The Long Lake Olympics fundraiser event is the biggest fundraising event of the year for the PTO. The students get to celebrate with the annual Long Lake Olympics field day on October 4, 2024. If the goal of $20,000 is met, this will be the only fundraiser of the school year! The money from this fundraiser provides reading programs, supplies for teachers and students, monthly family friendly events, supplies and learning materials for each classroom and overall teacher appreciation. In addition, the money helps pay for an all-school field trip, assist in purchasing supplies for the happy feet program, as well as provide exciting school community events throughout the school year. See information below for more details.
