Loring-to-Loring Gift Card Drive

The Loring-to-Loring Gift Card Drive is a school-wide social action program designed to help Loring families who are experiencing financial difficulty.

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, and CVS.  

If you wish to contribute, please click here to sign up.

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 Wednesday, December 4th.

Please contact Loring School Counselor, Karen Blumberg at karen_blumberg@sudbury.k12.ma.us or 978-579-0870 ext. 4011 with any questions or if your family would benefit from help through the Loring-to-Loring Gift Card Drive.

All inquiries and gift card distributions are kept confidential.

Thank you for your generosity!

There is a lot to be thankful for this month, and the generosity of the Loring community is high on the list! We collected 61 boxes of donations for the Sudbury Food Pantry last week, crushing our October drive of 49 boxes! THANK YOU!
A big thanks to Ms. Corron and her class for heading up this pawsome drive and a huge thanks to all our adult volunteers that helped out! Thank you to Caroline Archambault, Cara Brill, Kate Carroll, Katie Dasso, Laura Warren, and Yan Zhang!

Calling all Bakers! Loring Staff Holiday Treat Sampler

11/20/2024 5:32 pm

SAVE THE DATE: On Thursday, December 19th, we will be hosting our annual Loring staff holiday treat sampler, where we ask families to bake 3 dozen festive bite-sized treats (no chocolate chip cookies!). Please consider supporting this wonderful tradition. 

A sign up will be available in a few weeks, however, if you wanted to bake and freeze your treats while you are prepping for Thanksgiving we wanted to give you advance notice.

PTO Reimbursement Requests

11/20/2024 5:30 pm

HUGE thank you to all the parents and staff who have submitted reimbursement requests this year. We really appreciate all the hard work everyone is putting in! This is a friendly reminder from the PTO treasurers regarding reimbursement and check requests:

1. Please submit your receipts as either .pdf, .jpg or .png.
2. If at all possible, please consolidate your receipts into 1-3 documents so that you can submit one check request that combines multiple items. You can photograph multiple receipts at once or use this online tool to convert multiple jpg files to one pdf.
3. The forms work best from a personal computer or phone (beware of work firewalls).
4. Make sure to click "I'm finished with this form and am ready to submit it".
5. Please allow at least two weeks for your check to be mailed. If you need it sooner, please email treasurers@loringpto.org.
