Auction Items Needed!

1/15/2025 7:04 pm

It's Loring's 25th Anniversary and we need your help to make this our best Auction yet!  The Auction is one of our largest fundraisers and allows the PTO to fund programs for the 25/26 school year.  This year's auction will move back online (alongside some special *live* only offerings) to allow everyone to participate.  

Do you have something unique you could donate: an overnight at a vacation home, an item or service from your business, tickets to a professional sports game, a “behind the scenes” experience with a sports team or at a TV or radio station, or any other cool place where you might have a connection? Donations of gift cards, experiences, books, services, etc are all welcome - we're looking to have items at a variety of price points to offer our community!  

We can provide a tax receipt for the value of your donated item or service. Please reach out to loringauction@gmail.com to donate or for more information.

Food Pantry Thank You

Thank you Loring for kicking off the new year strong! We collected 48 boxes of donations for the Sudbury Food Pantry last Friday! Great job to Ms. Krance and her pawsome, inquisitive 4th graders! Thank you to the volunteers who helped sort - Laura Warren, Anne Devine, Katie Dasso, Katie Carroll, Kelly Sugrue and Elizabeth Milano!

PTO: Help Needed for 2025!

1/15/2025 6:24 pm

The PTO relies on volunteers to run successfully.  We will have to cancel events and programs if we do not have committees to run them. 

Immediate Needs: 

* Fun Run Coordinator - we have an experienced team but need a volunteer to oversee event & coordinate with vendor (Boosterthon)

* Yearbook Volunteers - help with page layouts and photography for a specific grade-level collage or create a school-wide collage like "First Day Photos" or "Leopard Fest.". This is a very flexible, work-from-home position that requires no experience. Additional help needed for special 5th Grade highlights.  Bulk of work completed during March & April.

* Loring Eats Coordinator - coordinate with local restaurants to schedule "eat around town" nights for the Loring community and raise funds for PTO.   

* Science Fair Committee - join the team to help continue this fun event where our student scientists & explorers show off their projects.

Upcoming Needs (Onboard now to shadow current volunteers): 

* Camp Fair Coordinator - coordinate the PTO's 2nd largest fundraiser (and the only one that requires no funds from our parent/family community). Has support of Camp Fair team to break up responsibility; Coordinator role can be split between 2 people.  

* Leopardfest Committee (multiple openings) - plan and execute our September back to school  celebration.  Our current team is aging out of Loring and we need new members to keep this event going.  

 Many roles can be done primarily from home and all can be done on your own time. Thanks to everyone who has reached out and stepped up to keep our PTO running strong!  

Please email cochairs@loringpto.org for more info.
