Loring Eats Next Week

Mark your calendars! It’s the final Loring Eats event of the year! 🎉
Join us on Thursday, May 14 at Sudbury Pizza Place for one last delicious celebration you won’t want to miss! 🍕
Bonus: A portion of the proceeds will go directly to support the Loring PTO—so every bite gives back!

Registration Open: Fun Run

5/7/2026 2:57 am

The 2026 Loring Fun Run is taking place at Loring on May 30, 2026 from 4:00-5:00pm!

You can now register your student for the Loring Elementary Fun Run!

Sign up now at MyBooster.com! Need help signing up? View video instructions.

👕 Participation Goal (70%): If 70% of Loring students register, Ms. Harvey and Ms. Savage will suit up in inflatable leopard costumes and run the race, similar to last year’s crowd favorite!

🏅 Fundraising Goal ($18,000): If we reach our goal, the entire school earns a SPORTS DAY! Students can wear their favorite sports gear: professional, college, town teams, and more!

Stay tuned for updates and progress as we get closer to race day!

We’re already looking ahead to an exciting 2026–2027 school year, and we’d love to welcome new volunteers to the Loring PTO! Whether you have a little time or a lot, there are opportunities to match a variety of interests, schedules, and skill sets.

We are currently looking to fill the following open positions:

• Camp Fair Sponsors Coordinator (this role will look a little different than in past years!)

• Kindergarten Festivals Coordinator

• Leopardfest Committee Members

• Shadow Positions for:

  • Apparel Coordinator

Getting involved is a great way to support our students, connect with other families, and help make Loring such a special community.

Save the Date: PTO Meeting

Principal Harvey and Assistant Principal Savage will join for a Q&A for the first 30 minutes. Meeting link will be provided closer to the meeting date.

Creative Enrichment: 1st Grade

5/7/2026 2:54 am

The 1st graders had a fun and interactive storytelling science experience for creative enrichment on Wednesday, May 6th, courtesy of Science Heroes. They learned about evaporation, air flow, laws of motion, chemical reactions, and how to make a foam volcano!  The kids all left with a card to sign up for links to free science experiments so they can keep up the fun and learning at home.

Thank you to Emily Donnelly for planning this program and to Katie Wren for her presentation!

Volunteers Needed: Lunch/Recess

5/7/2026 2:52 am

Every Friday, we will be looking for 3 volunteers per grade to help cover recess and lunch. This allows our classroom teachers to have consistent planning time each week. It's an easy volunteering opportunity if your schedule has flexibility during the day, and it's also a fun chance to see your kids and their friends during the school day!

If you are interested in volunteering, sign up at this link to help your child's grade! Please be mindful of how many shifts you sign up for at one time - we'd like to afford as many caregivers as possible the opportunity to help.

Before volunteering, make sure you have an active CORI form on file with SPS by checking in with Paula Saliga in the front office. Additionally, please be sure to click here and review the orientation slides and click here to watch the training video. You will also need to sign a confidentiality agreement. These forms are available in the front office and can be completed when you check in for your first volunteer shift. 

When you arrive at school to volunteer, please check in at the front office 5 minutes prior to your start time. This will allow you time to sign in, obtain a badge and proceed to the playground. 

Can't make your shift? PLEASE try to find a replacement first. If unable, please email the Loring Office.
