Last Chance: Loring to Loring Gift Cards

11/12/2026 2:58 am

Help support our pawsome Loring families BEFORE TOMORROW!

The Loring-to-Loring Gift Card Drive is a school-wide social action program designed to help Loring families who are experiencing financial difficulty.  This year we anticipate there will be an increase in families who will need our support - let's show them how pawsome our community is!

Gift cards will be given to families for necessary items such as groceries and other essentials. Examples of retailers that have been helpful for families in the past are Target, Amazon, Walmart, Stop & Shop, Shaws, Market Basket and Roche Bros. 

Please sign up here to contribute!

You can send your gift card(s) to school via red folder in an envelope labeled "Loring-to-Loring/Attn: Karen Blumberg". Please send in your gift card(s) by TOMORROW, Friday, November 13th. Make sure they are labeled with the amount on the gift card.

If your family would benefit from help through the Loring-to-Loring Gift Card Drive, please contact Loring School Counselor, Karen Blumberg at karen_blumberg@sudbury.k12.ma.us or 978-579-0870 ext. 4246. All inquiries and gift card distributions are kept confidential.

Thank you for your generosity!

A big thank you to the Loring community for supporting our Loring Eats event at Lotus Blossom! Together we ate delicious food and supported a generous local business and raised funds for the PTO. Thank you also to our Loring Eats coordinator, Dana Roth, for organizing this event!

Camp Fair and Bingo Night

11/12/2026 2:56 am

2 Events, 1 Night, Double the Fun! Camp Fair & Bingo Night: Friday, November 20

Camp Fair

Planning for summer 2027 starts now! Visit sudburycampfair.org to explore our growing directory of camp profiles and start discovering exciting summer adventures for your kids. Stop by the Camp Fair on Friday, November 20, from 5:00-8:00 PM to meet camp representatives, learn about summer programs, and find the perfect fit for your family. You can visit the Camp Fair on its own or make a night of it by pairing it with Bingo!

Please note that the Camp Fair is open for all families, regardless of whether or not a Bingo Night ticket is purchased!

Bingo Night

Join us for a fun family night of bingo, prizes, and special guest callers! Bingo Night tickets are on sale NOW and will be available through midnight on November 18. We'll have two Bingo seatings, with time in between for families to explore the Camp Fair. All Bingo Night attendees must purchase a ticket, even if you decide not to play. Don’t delay - seating is limited! Both sessions have sold out the last 3 years! Pizza is available for pre-order until Wednesday, November 18th for $17 per pizza; or you can enjoy drinks and desserts for purchase at the event. Please note that pizza must be ordered ahead of time and will not be for sale during Bingo Night.

Whether you're coming for Bingo, checking out summer camps, or planning to do both, there's something for everyone!

Volunteers Needed: Camp Fair, Bingo Night

11/12/2026 2:55 am

We are in desperate need of Camp Fair volunteers! The PTO relies on parent volunteers to help out with fundraising events and other activities and without you we cannot continue to hold events that support our school. PLEASE sign up HERE if you're available to help with the Camp Fair on Friday, November 20th!

Additionally, Bingo Night needs volunteers! Please sign up here if you are available to assist.

Thank you!

Food Pantry NEXT WEEK

11/12/2026 2:54 am

Food Pantry Friday is next week!

Friday, November 20th is one of Loring’s most important Food Pantry Fridays as the Sudbury Community Food Pantry gears up to serve more households this holiday season.

Please consider supporting the pantry in the following ways: 

Send in non-perishables by Friday, November 20th

This month’s most needed items are: cereal, tomato sauce, boxed rice, taco kits, stuffing, large cans of soup, boxed potatoes, and cake and brownie mixes. However, any non-perishable item is welcome. You can send items in with your student or drop them in the bins outside the school or in the lobby. No glass or expired items, please!

Venmo us and we will shop for you! 

If you don’t have time to get to the store, we have you covered. Just Venmo any dollar amount by Wednesday morning (11/18) to Marissa (@MarissaLCole) or Laura (@Laura-Warren26) and we will shop for you.

Make a one-time or recurring monthly donation to the Sudbury Community Food Pantry. You can donate directly through the pantry’s website. Please send us the amount of your donation, so we can keep a record of donations from our school.

Thank you for helping to fill the pantry shelves this holiday season!
