Thank you from the Food Pantry!

Thank you Loring for a Pawsome Food Pantry on Friday! We collected 49 boxes of donations, which ties us with September, and beat Oct 2023 by 4 boxes! Wahoo! The food pantry storage was jammed tight by the time all of the school drive food was delivered.
Thank you to Ms. Keyes and her pawsome class for doing a great job promoting our food drive and sorting all of the items!
And a big thanks to all of our volunteers who kept this moving - Caroline Archambault, Cara Brill, Sharon Brady, Laura Warren, Katie Carroll, Kathryn Dasso and Maura Maher.

PTO - Open Positions

10/23/2024 7:02 pm

Thanks to all who stepped up to be room parents - we are now fully covered! 

The PTO relies on volunteers to run and we have some big positions opening over the next year.  Many roles can be done primarily from home and all can be done on your own time.   

Immediate Needs: 

* Webmaster (open as of 12/31) - maintain website and update sales forms and signups in MTK as needed.

* Loring Eats Coordinator - coordinate with local restaurants to schedule "eat around town" nights for the Loring community and raise funds for PTO.  Stepping in now will allow you this year to train under our current coordinator.     

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.  

Please email cochairs@loringpto.org for more info!
