Our primary purpose at Long Meadow Elementary School is the development of literate students. In addition to reading, writing and math we work hard to integrate the arts into all we do. Students learn to communicate in a variety of formats. Along with the written word the literate student also develops skills in art, music, and movement. These efforts are highlighted in our regular "town meetings" where the feelings and ideas of a student's poem may be shared with the whole school supported by drawings, musical background, and a dance routine developed by others in our student body with the support of our wonderful staff. Students soon learn that we can communicate ideas and feelings in a variety of formats.
