Thank You: Parents Night Out and Auction

What an amazing night! Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Parents’ Night Out & Auction on Saturday, March 21st at Jack’s Abby. It was an unforgettable evening filled with fun, community spirit, and plenty of March Madness excitement!

Whether you joined us in person or placed bids online, thank you for showing up in such a big way for Loring. Because of your generosity and enthusiasm, the funds raised will directly enrich our students’ experience by supporting our incredible teachers and staff, Creative Enrichment programming, new books, and so much more.

A very special shoutout to our amazing Auction Planning Committee—Kerri Brien, Caroline Archambault, Emily Prozeller, Stacy Barry, and Kim Kirby—whose time and dedication brought this event to life and made it such a huge success.

And thank you to Mike Barry and Mike Archambault for keeping the energy high as our fantastic emcees, and to Roman Geykhman for his invaluable behind-the-scenes support with our online ticket system.

We are so grateful to be part of such a generous and spirited community; thank you for making it all possible!

Reminder: Textile Recycling Program

3/26/2026 2:51 am

Are you starting your spring cleaning? 

Reminder: Bring your old textiles (clothing, bedding, towels, shoes, and even stuffed animals!) to the Bay State Textile Drop Box at Loring and earn money for our school. Click here for a list of accepted items - it's more than you think!

The two Bay State Textile Drop Boxes are in the Loring parking lot near the basketball courts.  Please make sure your items are bagged and nothing is left on the ground. If you notice that the bins are full please let us know so we can schedule an immediate pickup.

Volunteers Needed: Lunch/Recess

3/26/2026 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.

Before volunteering, make sure you have an active CORI form on file with SPS by checking in with Paula Saliga in the front office. Additionally, please be sure to click here and review the orientation slides and click here to watch the training video. You will also 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. 

When you arrive at school to volunteer, please check in at the front office 5 minutes prior to your start time. This will allow you 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 Loring Office.
