Bingo Night, Camp Fair

11/5/2026 2:57 am

2 Events, 1 Night, Double the Fun! Camp Fair & Bingo Night: Friday, November 20

Planning for summer 2027 starts now! Visit sudburycampfair.org to explore our growing directory of camp profiles and start discovering exciting summer adventures for your kids. Stop by the Camp Fair on Friday, November 20, from 5:00-8:00 PM to meet camp representatives, learn about summer programs, and find the perfect fit for your family. You can visit the Camp Fair on its own or make a night of it by pairing it with Bingo!

Bingo Night tickets go on sale November 10 and will be available through midnight on November 18. We'll have two Bingo seatings, with time in between for families to explore the Camp Fair. Whether you're coming for Bingo, checking out summer camps, or planning to do both, there's something for everyone!

Please note that the Camp Fair is open for all families, regardless of whether or not a Bingo Night ticket is purchased!

We need volunteers to make the night a success! Volunteer sign-ups will be coming soon for Bingo Night. In the meantime, sign up to help with the Camp Fair now (we still need a number of volunteers)!

Loring to Loring Gift Cards

11/5/2026 2:55 am

Help support our pawsome Loring families!

The Loring-to-Loring Gift Card Drive is a school-wide social action program designed to help Loring families who are experiencing financial difficulty.  This year we anticipate there will be an increase in families who will need our support - let's show them how pawsome our community is!

Gift cards will be given to families for necessary items such as groceries and other essentials. Examples of retailers that have been helpful for families in the past are Target, Amazon, Walmart, Stop & Shop, Shaws, Market Basket and Roche Bros. 

Please sign up here to contribute!

You can send your gift card(s) to school via red folder in an envelope labeled "Loring-to-Loring/Attn: Karen Blumberg". Please send in your gift card(s) by Friday, November 13th.

If your family would benefit from help through the Loring-to-Loring Gift Card Drive, please contact Loring School Counselor, Karen Blumberg at karen_blumberg@sudbury.k12.ma.us or 978-579--0870 ext. 4246. All inquiries and gift card distributions are kept confidential.

Thank you for your generosity!

Kindergarten Fall Festival

11/5/2026 2:54 am

Our kindergartners had a wonderful time celebrating the season at their Fall Festival last Friday, October 30th! The students had the opportunity to visit different kindergarten classrooms, enjoy fall-themed crafts and activities, and spend time making new friends along the way.

A big thank you to Abigail Ladeau and Angela Restivo for organizing this special event and bringing some fresh ideas to the activities! We also appreciate Mikayla Brosnan, Brooke Flanagan, and Hannah Espie for their help with preparation, as well as the many parent volunteers who helped make the festival such a success!

A huge thank you to the Loring community for contributing an incredible 45 boxes of food for Food Pantry Friday! A special thank you to Laura Warren and Marissa Cole for coordinating this event, and to Kate Carroll, Caroline Archambault, Katie Dasso, Shannon Walsh, Amber Herting, Josh Herting, Sondra Chisari, and Tanvi Devimane for helping sort and deliver all of the donations last Friday. We’re so grateful for the generosity, time, and community spirit that make efforts like this possible.

We kicked off our very first Roar & Recharge Staff Appreciation Breakfast yesterday, and it was a wonderful way to show our Loring staff a little extra love as fall conferences started! Thank you to Kimberley Kirby for organizing and setting up and to all of our 2nd and 3rd grade families who generously donated items to make the breakfast possible. Your contributions helped us start this new tradition on a delicious note! We are so grateful for our Loring community and the many ways you help our staff feel appreciated!
