Read MoreApril Food Pantry Tomorrow!
4/2/2025 6:11 pm
We are kicking off April with Food Pantry Friday tomorrow! The 4th graders have decided the theme for Friday is "Kids come dressed as a teacher, teachers come dressed as a kid"! Please consider donating!
You can donate in one of THREE ways:
1) Have your student bring your items to school on tomorrow and leave it by their normal building entrance.
2) Have too much for your student to carry? Drop it off any time today or tomorrow before 8am and leave it in the bin under the front awning!
3) Would you rather give a monetary donation? That counts to our box total too! You can donate at https://sudburyfoodpantry.org/donate/ or send in cash or check (written to Sudbury Community Food Pantry) with your student this week. Just be sure to email the co-chairs at cochairs@loringpto.org if you donate online so that we can count your donation to the Loring number!!
UPDATED: Lunch & Recess Volunteers
4/2/2025 5:59 pm
Lunch & Recess volunteers needed for GRADES 1-5 TOMORROW Friday April 4 and ALL GRADES Tuesday April 8 (we currently have NO volunteers this day). With the nicer weather, recess has moved outdoors and we really need parent volunteers to supervise! This assistance provides much valued time for our classroom teachers to have planning time together. It's also a pawsome opportunity to see your kids and their peers during the school day.
Volunteer slots have been updated and are now open through the end of this school year.
Dates, times and training information can be found on the volunteer page of the PTO Website. Please read through the instructions carefully and email Kerri Brien kerriapatrician@gmail.com with any questions.
To SIGN UP, please click here and make sure to "Read More" for other important details.

It was a busy week at Loring!
Shout out to all of our PAWSOME families who participated in the Science Fair and the Parents' Night Out & Auction.
HUGE THANKS to our Science Fair Committee: Christine Horak, Morgan Freiman, & Ahmed Sanaullah. Your planning made this family favorite event a reality this year. It was a fantastic night filled with imagination, experiments, community, robots, and a Lego Derby!
A SPECIAL THANK YOU to our Auction Planning Committee - Kerri Brien, Caroline Archambault, & Kelly Ewart. Their hard work made the night the HUGE success that it was. Thank you also to: Mike & Stacy Barry for being our auction emcees and to Roman Geykhman for helping with the behind the scenes online forms. The money we raised will go towards enriching your students' education in a number of ways - new flexible seating options, supporting our teachers and staff, Creative Enrichment programming, books, and so much more!
Finally, THANK YOU to all our families who participated this week through science projects, live and online auction bids, generous donations, attending the events, and/or volunteering!
We can't thank our Loring Community enough for this amazing support. We had a great time with all of you and can't wait for next years' events - we hope you had fun, too! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

5th Grade Creative Enrichment
4/2/2025 5:09 pm
Did your 5th Grader tell you about their busy day last week? They participated in 2 fantastic Creative Enrichment programs!
Archaeology 4 Schools where they learned about how artifacts can tell us a lot about history, even just a few pieces of a bowl or an arrowhead. They then took part in a hands on workshop where they had to rebuild their own pots (which explains the pot pieces that came home with them).
AND
Galaxy on the Go where they got to visit the Springfields travel planetarium in the comfort of Loring's gym. They learned all about our solar system and different constellations.
Thanks to our 5th Grade CE coordinator, Rachel Heckler, for working with teachers to bring these programs to Loring. Your generous donations to the Loring PTO make these and all our Creative Enrichment programming possible.
