Last Chance and Volunteers Needed: Fun Run

5/28/2026 2:58 am

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

Additionally, we need help from a few volunteers to make sure the event runs smoothly! Please sign up here if you are able to help!

It's your last chance to register your student for the Loring Elementary Fun Run! Please help us meet our goals and register before Saturday's event!

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!

PTO Business Sponsors Coordinator - FY26/27 School Year

We are looking for a volunteer to serve as our Business Sponsors Coordinator for the 2026/2027 school year! This flexible role can be done on your own time and is a great way to support our school community by helping build partnerships with local businesses. Responsibilities include reaching out to potential sponsors, coordinating sponsor communications, and helping secure support for the PTO throughout the year. No prior experience is needed, just organization, communication skills, and enthusiasm for supporting our school! If you’re interested or would like to learn more, please reach out to cochairs@loringpto.org.

Field Day - June 5th

We’re looking forward to our 2nd Annual Loring Field Day on Friday, June 5th (rain date: June 12th)! This fun-filled day will give students a chance to celebrate the end of the school year with exciting games, outdoor challenges, and lots of pawsome spirit. Field Day was a huge success last year and we can’t wait to make this year’s event even more memorable for our students.

To help make the day run smoothly, we’re looking for parent/caregiver volunteers to assist with activity stations, setup, cleanup, and cheering on our students throughout the event. Please visit the links below to sign up for volunteering!

Creative Enrichment: 3rd Grade

5/28/2026 2:54 am

On Thursday, May 21st, 3rd graders participated in a Discovery Museum traveling workshop all about Force and Magnetism. They enjoyed exploring different magnetic toys to figure out how they work, learned about load stones, learned how compasses work, and even got to design and build their own magnetic toys to take home! They also explored 3D magnetic field viewers and learned about Earth’s geomagnetic fields!

Thank you to Ashley Maguire for organizing this creative enrichment event!
