Last Chance! Curtis School Supplies (5th Graders)

6/11/2026 2:58 am

Attention 5th Grade Families moving on to Curtis Middle School:

TOMORROW is the last chance to purchase school supplies as part of the Curtis fundraiser!

It’s time for the Annual School Supply Kit Fundraiser! Sales will run through Friday, June 12th. See image for order form and other details.
Summer is short; don't waste your fun time by school supply shopping over the summer - order today! Simply search for "Ephraim Curtis Middle School" here: https://store.edukitinc.com
Please be sure to select the grade your student will be in NEXT school year. If you’re new to Curtis, please note that each student will need a Grade Level kit, in addition to the World Language kit if they’re taking French or Spanish. If they’re also taking brand, chorus, or orchestra, they will need the black binder as noted. Don’t hesitate to reach out to jennlemire@gmail.com if you have any questions. Thank you for your support!
Please note, participation in this fundraiser is completely optional! You are welcome to shop for the items separately, and send them in with your student on the first day of school. Thank you for your support!

Thank You: Food Pantry

6/11/2026 2:57 am

Thank you for all your contributions to our final Food Pantry Friday for the school year last week. Together, Loring donated 36 boxes (24 boxes of food + 12 equivalent boxes in monetary donations). The fifth graders did an amazing job on the sort, and we couldn't have done it without our day-of volunteers: Kelly Sugrue, Katie Carroll, Stacy Barry, and Ms. OB! Plus, an extra special thank you to Laura Warren and Marissa Cole for coordinating the Food Pantry donation days all year long!

We'll be back in September, but in the meantime, there are other ways to support Sudbury Community Food Pantry over the summer - look for drop bins at the local grocery stores and Sewataro.

Thank You: Broomball and Kickball

Broomball

The 5th graders took on a formidable team of adults in Broomball last Friday night and they emerged victorious with a final score of 9-8. A huge thank you to the Broomball Committee - Erin Ciaccia & Anne Devine - for planning such a special night. We couldn’t have pulled off the event without our coaches (Nikki Premock & Stacy Barry), referees (John Sugrue & Nicole Scola Simon) and scorekeepers (Jeb Simon & Cate Kashem).

Also, thank you to our pawsome DJs, Melissa & Bentley Arbuckle, and to parents who volunteered that night to check in players and clean up at the end of the game - Lauren Hargrove, Kelly Sugrue, Alexandra Bonda, Sarah O'Dor, Kristen Fox, and Liz Milano.

We also had some Loring VIPs hit the court - thank you to Ms. O-B, Mrs. Harvey & Mrs. Savage for coming to support/play against the students!

And shoutouts to Mr. Maguire for prepping the gym for the game and to the 5th Grade Teachers for all their help.

And finally, a huge thank you to all of the parents who grabbed a broom, donned socks, and braved the penalty box all to suffer a crushing loss to their students. 

Kickball

Thank you to our volunteers who purchased and handed out Italian ice for kickball last week: Dana Roth, Caroline Archambault, and Jill Sorrentino.

Thank You: Field Day

6/11/2026 2:55 am

A huge thank you to all of the parent volunteers who helped make Field Day 2026 such a success! This new Loring tradition would not be possible without the incredible support of our school community. Whether you spent the day running an activity, cheering on students, donating equipment, or jumping in wherever help was needed, your time and enthusiasm helped create a fun, safe, and memorable day filled with movement, laughter, teamwork, and school spirit. We would also like to extend a special thank you to Mrs. Nute for her hard work and dedication in planning and coordinating Field Day, ensuring that every student had an unforgettable experience. Field Day is always a wonderful reminder of what makes the Loring community so special, and we thank everyone who helped create lasting memories for our students!

PTO Reimbursements

6/11/2026 2:54 am

HUGE thank you to all the parents and staff who have submitted reimbursement requests this year. We really appreciate all the hard work everyone is putting in! This is a friendly reminder from the PTO treasurers regarding reimbursement and check requests. Please make sure you submit any requests by June 22nd!

1. Please submit your receipts as either .pdf, .jpg or .png.

2. If at all possible, please consolidate your receipts into 1-3 documents so that you can submit one check request that combines multiple items. You can photograph multiple receipts at once or use this online tool to convert multiple jpg files to one pdf.

3. The forms work best from a personal computer or phone (beware of work firewalls).

4. Make sure to click "I'm finished with this form and am ready to submit it".

5. Please allow at least two weeks for your check to be mailed. If you need it sooner, please email treasurers@loringpto.org.

Creative Enrichment: 4th Grade

6/11/2026 2:53 am

On June 9th, our pawsome 4th graders had their final enrichment program of the year - the crowd favorite “Geography Gameshow.” Drawing the United States from memory, Neal Nichols taught the kids all about different aspects of US history, starting with the western states and moving east. Ask them why the Pacific Northwest is so rainy, where & when Dr. Pepper was invented (and what famous structure was built the same year), and what the first National Park was!

Thank you to Melissa Perla for coordinating this event and Neal Nichols for presenting!

Last Chance: Fun Run Survey

6/11/2026 2:52 am

While the Fun Run is fresh in your mind, we'd love your input about the timing of future years' Fun Runs. Traditionally, the event has taken place on a Saturday in late May or early June. However, the other schools in town hold their fun runs during the school day, typically during recess.

There are benefits and drawbacks to each option, and we'd love your feedback before making a decision for future years!

Curtis Gear (5th Graders)

Congratulations to all the 5th graders who are moving on from elementary school!!! 

If you want to get your rising 6th grader excited about Curtis Middle School, how about a cool graduation gift from the Curtis merchandise store? They can rock a Curtis shirt or a pair of shorts all summer long!

The Curtis store is open through the end of the school year.

Please use the below link, or visit the online store through the Curtis CPO home page.
