5th Grade Volunteers Needed: Pumpkin Walk

10/15/2026 2:57 am

Let's make this year's Pumpkin Walk the most PAWSOME one yet! To do that, we need all the 5^th graders to help! Decorate and display a pumpkin (carve, paint, draw, etc), make a sign to place around the walk, and/or help with setup or cleanup (parents, we will especially need help & wheelbarrows for this). Family members are welcome to create pumpkins too! Please reach out if you need help getting a pumpkin.

SIGN UP HERE 

Can’t wait to see what creative pumpkins you all come up with! We are excited to work with you to raise as much money as we can so your class gift can be the most PAWSOME gift ever!

Save the Date: Bingo, Camp Fair

10/15/2026 2:56 am

Mark your calendars for Friday, November 20, from 5:00–8:00 PM! This year, the Loring Camp Fair is moving to Loring Elementary School and joining forces with our annual Bingo Night for one fun-filled evening!

We’re moving the Camp Fair earlier in the school year to help families explore summer camp options before enrollment deadlines sneak up. Come discover exciting camps for your kids, then stick around for Bingo, prizes, and family fun!

More details coming soon. We hope to see you there!

Birthday Books

Let's give a big birthday shoutout and Birthday Book Club welcome to our latest members (some dating back to last year!): Jessie Niu, Alden Kopcza, Brynn McDonald, Grace Qi, Rishi Tangutoori, Whitney Marten, and Logan Utke!

Does your child have an upcoming (or past works too!) birthday? What better way to celebrate than to donate a book to the Loring Library in their honor? When you donate a book, a sticker is added to the inside cover to commemorate your child's special day! If you'd like to celebrate your child's birthday with a book, visit our Birthday Book Club webpage for more information. Questions? Email birthdaybook@loringpto.org.

Scholarships may be available. Contact Karen Blumberg for more information.

5th Grade Yearbook Submissions

10/15/2026 2:52 am

Attention 5th Grade Families!

Mrs. Harvey sent an email home earlier this week with information about the parent/guardian and student submissions for the yearbook. Please review for the details, as this year's Cover Art Contest is occurring earlier in the school year than in the past! Flyers are also being sent home this week with the same information. Please reach out to pawsomeyearbook@gmail.com with any questions!

Volunteers Needed: Lunch/Recess

10/15/2026 2:50 am

Every Friday, we will be looking for 3 volunteers per grade to help cover recess and lunch. This allows our classroom teachers to have consistent planning time each week. It's an easy volunteering opportunity if your schedule has flexibility during the day, and it's also a fun chance to see your kids and their friends during the school day!

If you are interested in volunteering, sign up at this link to help your child's grade! Please be mindful of how many shifts you sign up for at one time - we'd like to afford as many caregivers as possible the opportunity to help.

Please make sure you have an active CORI form on file with SPS by checking in with Paula Saliga in the front office. 

Before you volunteer, you will need to sign a confidentiality agreement. These forms are available in the front office and can be completed when you check in for your first volunteer shift.

Also, please review the playground expectations in advance. There will be dedicated staff members present at both recess and lunch. If you have any questions during recess, please ask Mr. Evangelos or Ms. Welch. Questions during lunch can be directed to Ms. McCune.

Please check in at the front office 5 minutes prior to your start time to sign in, obtain a badge and proceed to the playground.

Can't make your shift? PLEASE try to find a replacement first. If unable, please email the office.
