Pajama Drive for Cradles to Crayons

2/1/2023 3:59 pm

As their Social Action Project, our Pawsome 5th graders are participating in the annual Cradles to Crayons Pajama Drive! Now through March 15th we are encouraging all Loring families to help! Please consider contributing either NEW pajamas or monetary donations (check made out to "Cradles to Crayons").

There will be a collection box in the front lobby for the PJ's. If donating $, please put your check in an envelope marked "C to C PJ Drive", and send it to school in your child's red folder or drop at the front office.

Thank you so much for your support! We will have an ALL SCHOOL PJ day Wednesday, March 15 to celebrate the participation!

Food Pantry Friday is Coming Next Week!

2/1/2023 3:58 pm

Our next Sudbury Food Pantry food drive is quickly approaching! Mark your calendars for Friday the 10th and get your donations ready!

The Sudbury Food Pantry has expressed how important our school food drives are to their overall supply, and the need for an increased supply has never been more important. Everyone knows that food costs have sky rocketed over the last few years, but being able to afford that increase has been extremely difficult for members of our community. Visits to the SFP have increased 40% in the last year, with a record high 5,662 family visits. To make matters worse, the SFP had an increase of 154% in food costs this year. They need our help.

Please consider donating what you can!

Fun Run Committee Needs Your Help!

2/1/2023 3:56 pm

The Fun Run committee is getting started with planning for this year's run (which occurs on June 3rd!). We could use some help, particularly from parents of younger students. This is an event for which a lot of the heavy lifting is done by Boosterthon so the commitment of helping on the committee is not substantial and is flexible. Please reach out to cochairs@loringpto.org if you are able to help!

Lunch and Recess Volunteers Needed! K, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade help needed TOMORROW

2/1/2023 3:54 pm

Thank you to the many of you who have volunteered at recess and lunch so far. We are still in need of someone for Kindergarten, 3rd, 4th, and 5th TOMORROW.

The teachers and staff have expressed many times how helpful it was to have this time to meet and focus on planning. Our volunteer numbers have declined recently and there are still a number of unfilled spots, particularly for grades 3-5. We would love to keep giving the teachers this planning time, so if you are able to sign up for a shift, please do. Covering the 25 minutes of recess is the priority but staying for the 25 minute lunch immediately following is even better!

We are looking for 2 volunteers per grade on Tuesdays and Fridays. Dates and times are listed in the signup genius on the volunteer page of the PTO Website.  To SIGN UP, please click here.

Celebrate your child's birthday and support the Loring PTO with a Birthday Book! Have your child choose a book that they'd like to donate to the Loring Library in their honor. There will be a sticker on the inside cover that notes who it is from, so everyone who checks it out will know who picked it for years to come :) We will also give a shout out in our newsletter each month to those who have participated.

Find out all about it here!
