Food Pantry Thank You

Way to be pawsome Loring! We had a great first food pantry collection of the year with 49 boxes of much needed donations. You all set a high precedent for the year!
Thank you to Ms. Nikolich and her 5th grade class for a great job last Friday and throughout the week drumming up support. Also a big thank you to our volunteers - Caroline Archambault, Cara Brill, Katie Carroll, Katie Dasso, David Larson, Kelly Sugrue, and Laura Warren!

10/2/2024 7:19 pm
We are excited for another year of our pawsome Loring Birthday Book Club tradition!
Celebrate your child's birthday and support the Loring PTO with a Birthday Book.
How does it work? Your child chooses a book from our curated list that they'd like to donate to the Loring Library; we'll place a sticker on the inside cover that notes who it is from. Everyone who checks it out will know who picked it for years to come! We also give shout outs in our newsletter each month to those who have participated.
Find out all about it here!
Summer Birthday? Forgot past birthdays? It’s never too late! Purchase your books now!
Questions? Email birthdaybook@loringpto.org.
Scholarships may be available. Contact Karen Blumberg for more information.
