On Monday, we were honored and proud to donate 71 care bags to Sammons Cancer Center through our Bucs Think Pink IB School-Wide Service as Action campaign.

Thank you to our J. L. Long students, families, and staff for your generosity and support. Each bag carries a little comfort, encouragement, and a reminder that someone cares.

We are proud to see our Bucs put the IB learner profile trait of Caring into action by making a difference in our community!

New Date: Join us on November 12 for a fun evening of family activities, an IB scavenger hunt, learning, discovery, and prizes!

We look forward to seeing our Buccaneer families there!

Discover IB. Explore Together. Have Fun!

We need 1-2 parent volunteers to support a staff member at each station. Families will move through stations at their own pace, participate in challenges and collect a stamp and a clue at each stop. All materials will be provided. We just need extra hands to ensure everyone can move through the stations easily.

If you would like to help stock the Boutique at Long, items currently needed can be found on the Peace Pantry Amazon Wishlist. We also gladly accept like-new or gently used items. Please do not send anything that is stained, damaged, or has holes.

The most immediate needs are all uniforms, dress-code-approved sweatshirts, and toiletries.
