Welcome to the Loring PTO!
When your family joins the Loring School community, you become a part of the Loring PTO; a community of parents, teachers and school administrators joining together to enrich the educational and social experience of our students.
Parent involvement is critical to our success and there are a number of ways to get involved. If you are interested in learning more about the different opportunities available please email our co-chairs Anne Devine and Melissa Perla.

Thank you from the Food Pantry!
10/23/2024 7:06 pm
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.

Missed school picture day? Want a re-do? Retake Day is Tuesday 11/12!
If you would like to have your child participate in picture retake day, mark your calendars!
Retake Day is open and free for:
*Anyone who had their photo taken and wants a retake (if they purchased images or not).
* Anyone who had been sent a request from Coffee Pond to have a retake image taken (due to quality control of the original image).
* Anyone who was absent on Picture Day and needs their first image taken.
If you have already purchased a photo package but are retaking photos, please return your original undamaged portrait package to the photographer that day.

Read MoreLunch and Recess Volunteers Needed!
10/23/2024 7:03 pm
Lunch & Recess volunteers needed for tomorrow, 10/25! 1st & 5th grade have NO coverage and 2nd, 3rd, & 4th still have space left.
There are many openings across all grades for next week and beyond. Please consider signing up if you are able - it's only an hour and is much valued time for our classroom teachers to have planning time together.
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.

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!
