MPS Bilingual Fair Will Be Held at Longfellow School on May 30
Families Can Explore Bilingual Education, Resources for Children
(MILWAUKEE) — Families can explore bilingual education for their children this weekend at the first MPS Bilingual Program Enrollment Fair, to be held at Longfellow School on the city’s south side.
The fair will be Saturday, May 30, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in the school’s gymnasium, 2110 W. Scott St.
In the Bilingual Program, Milwaukee Public Schools students learn their subjects in English and Spanish, building their skills in one while preserving their heritage in the other.
“We want families to know about the many advantages of having their children attend Milwaukee Public Schools, and the resources available to them at MPS,” said Sara Cruz, principal of La Escuela Fratney. Her school will be one of more than a dozen MPS schools represented at the fair.
One advantage is that students in the Bilingual Program can earn their Wisconsin Seal of Biliteracy for being proficient in English and one or more other languages. Being bilingual can be a building block for students’ future success.
Milwaukee Public Schools also has resources for special education, before- and after-school care, and free breakfast and lunch. MPS emphasizes literacy, and schools offer classes in art, music, and physical education, along with extracurricular activities.
Seats are available in all grades for the 2026-27 school year. Read more about the Bilingual Dual Language Program on the MPS website.
