A 13-year-old girl told a teacher she was sexually assaulted by a 12-year-old boy in a stairwell during lunch period at Longfellow Middle School, and later told investigators that it wasn't the first time, according to police reports.

Some residents complained, but the fence was part of complying with WIAA regulations for Wauwatosa East High School.
Installation of a fence at the bottom of a Wauwatosa neighborhood sledding hill has upset some area residents. Wauwatosa NOW reported that the outfield fence was installed on the softball diamond at Longfellow Middle School on behalf of Wauwatosa East High School. The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association requires an outfield fence on all tournament diamonds beginning in 2014. A 9-year-old boy told NOW that the fence “spoils the sledding,” as it sits as the base of a steep grade beyond the diamond. Watch our ride down the hill — does the fence ruin the sledding? Tell us in the comments.

After special performance for elementary grades, Longfellow musical theatre production is ready for prime time.
Longfellow Middle School's "The Music Man" is ready for general audiences after a last dress rehearsal Wednesday morning in front of an eager crowd drawn from district elementary schools. The show is actually billed "Music Man, Jr." – a slightly shortened and simplified book and score for younger players – but even so, most missing songs, such as "A Sadder But Wiser Girl" were added back in by director Katherine Dombrowski. Showtimes are 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday and 4 p.m. Saturday at the Longfellow Auditorium. Tickets may be purchased at the box office beginning one half-hour before curtain.

If you can't vote next Tuesday at the polls, you can still cast a ballot if you hurry. And final curtains will fall on two ambitious school musicals, at West and Longfellow.
"Last Chance" is Patch's reminder that deadlines and fleeting opportunities arise every week, and Wauwatosa residents have but days to plan and execute. Some deadlines this week: Absentee voting in person at City Hall ends at 5 p.m. Friday. The Wauwatosa City Clerk's office will mail out ballots through 4:30 p.m. Thursday upon receiving a written request; and your ballot must be filed back with that office by 5 p.m. Friday. Your request must include your address and signature. More than one eligible voter living at the same address may file a joint request, as long as the letter is signed by all requesting ballots. If you want a ballot mailed out Thursday but can't get to City Hall during business hours, you may drop off a request in the …

i don't remember reading that this kid was going to be on the sex offenders list... either way, i think to say that "both these children's lives" are ruined is a bit over the top. and i think that it's good that they are making a BIG issue out of this. forcing someone (female OR male) to perform sex acts against their will is just plain wrong and if not handled swiftly, may lead to more of the … more ›
