Welcome to the Loring PTO!

It's almost time for the 2026 Science Fair!

NEXT Thursday, March 12th 6pm - 8pm

Loring Cafeteria & Gym

Project registration is live on the PTO website.

Please visit the science fair website for all of the information you'll need to get started, including important dates, project guidelines, project ideas, and FAQs. This is a time for students to explore and embrace science in a non-competitive environment.  All students will receive a small prize and have the chance to present their project to a guest "scientist". 

We hope you'll join us for this fun event!

Creative Enrichment: All School

3/5/2026 2:53 am

Last Friday, all Loring students were treated to an exceptional creative enrichment program presented by the Bionic Project, whose mission is to create a more inclusive world for everyone, regardless of physical ability. In separate assemblies tailored to grades K-2 and 3-5, students learned about disability bias, empathy, inclusion and what it means to be an ally.

Additionally, 5th graders participated in a hands-on workshop where they learned about accessibility and Universal Design and were tasked with the challenge of designing a sports stadium for all. And to conclude the program, each 5th grade class learned how to play adaptive soccer, navigating the game on crutches to better understand mobility challenges and how sports can be adapted for all bodies.

Thank you to Lauren Hargrove for planning this program and to the Bionic Project for their presentation!


Creative Enrichment: 5th Grade

3/5/2026 2:52 am

This week, the Discovery Museum visited our 5th graders, who participated in their Chemistry Lab workshop. Students learned about chemical versus physical reactions as well as what makes a liquid an acid or a base. They then tested mystery household liquids and based on their pH level, had to make guesses as to what they were. 

Thank you to Lauren Hargrove for planning this program and to the Discovery Museum for their presentation!
