Leopardfest 2025 LAST CALL to Pre-order Tickets/Pizza

9/18/2025 2:58 am

Join us THIS SATURDAY to kick off the school year at the Leopardfest Back-to-School Celebration. Online ticket sales and pizza pre-orders end TODAY! (Tickets can also be purchased at the event, but pizzas will not be available unless pre-ordered.)

Gather around the playground to enjoy a casual evening of music, food, and a few of our favorite traditions, like musical treats, face painting, the fall book fair, a chance to soak our 5th graders and, of course, our favorite special guest! 🐾

Please note that this is not a drop-off event; grown-ups must be present.

Purchase Tickets & Pre-order Pizza Here. Ticket sales close September 18th.

Leopardfest - Call for Treats

9/18/2025 2:57 am

We need more TREAT donations (Store-bought or homemade is fine!) to make the Musical Treats game at Leopardfest a success!

Please sign up HERE to donate a treat or sign up for one of the few remaining volunteer spots.

Book Fair THIS WEEK!

9/18/2025 2:56 am

The Loring IN-PERSON BOOK FAIR is this week! We will have two shopping events where students can visit the book fair with an adult, and experience a wide variety of engaging books.

Friday, September 19th: 2:40pm (after school) - 5:30pm in the gym. Please enter through the Loring gym doors, not the front; students will not be allowed to visit the Book Fair until car and bus pick up have cleared the school.

Saturday, September 20th: 4:30pm - 6:00pm in the gym during Leopardfest.

The PTO receives 25% of the revenue made from book fair purchases. Cash, credit card, and checks are accepted (made out to Loring PTO).

Can't make the in-person Book Fair? Make a purchase at our online fair; more details to follow soon.

Questions? Please contact Jackie Harder.

1st Food Pantry Drive - TOMORROW

9/18/2025 2:53 am

Welcome Back to Food Pantry Friday!!  This Friday, September 19th, is the first food drive of the school year and it's a special one. The Sudbury Community Food Pantry has just moved to a new, 3200sqft facility. Please help STOCK THE SHELVES!! 

Please see the flyer for the most needed items and come to school wearing your favorite sports gear! Our theme this month is Sports!! (For new-to-Loring and kindergarten families, every month the 5th grade class that is organizing for Food Pantry Friday gets to choose a dress-up theme! This month, your child(ren) can wear their favorite sports gear.)

You can donate in one of FIVE ways:

1. Donate your time! We need parent volunteers to help sort and deliver donations. Sign up here. Remember a CORI check must be done every 3 years. Contact the front office for help with a CORI.
2. Have your student bring your items to school on Friday, September 19th and leave it by their normal building entrance.
3. Don't want to wait until Friday? Send it in any day this week and have your student leave it in the bin in the lobby!
4. Have too much for your student to carry? Drop it off any time this week and leave it in the bin under the front awning!
5. Would you rather give a monetary donation? That counts to our box total too! You can donate at https://sudburyfoodpantry.org/donate/ or send in cash or check (written to Sudbury Community Food Pantry) with your student this week. Just be sure to email Marissa Cole or Laura Warren so your donation can be added to our collection totals!
