Trunk or Treat
Thank you to those who have already signed up to bring a decorated vehicle to our Trunk or Treat. We still need more families to help out! Go as big or as simple as you like, the PTO can provide all or part of the treats for your vehicle.
You can also help by volunteering just 30 minutes of your time at one of our event tables.
Event volunteering signup (30 minute slots)
Admission is FREE, however a suggested donation of $5-10 per family would be appreciated to help us cover the costs of holding the event. You can donate here.
PTO Meeting
Please join us next Wednesday October 19 at 7pm on Zoom for a public PTO meeting! Grab a slice from Anthony’s (see below) and dial in while you eat, all are welcome. The meeting link will be shared in next week’s newsletter and on our Facebook page.
Anthony’s Fundraiser
Dine in or get takeout from Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza in Natick on Wednesday October 19 from 11am to 9pm, mention Lilja, and they will donate 20% of the bill to the school! Anyone can participate, even if they don’t currently have children attending Lilja, so spread the word amongst your family, friends and neighbors! For more details and to RSVP (optional), click here.

Picture Day
Remember to order your child’s Picture Day photos online at CoffeePond.com. Simply select ‘Natick, MA’ then ‘Lilja’ from the drop down menus. If your child is absent, or you are not satisfied with the photo taken, there will be a retake day later - look out for details in the Friday school newsletter.
If a family is unable to purchase the photos, they can contact the school counsellor confidentially at csimoni@natickps.org for financial assistance.
Amazon Smile
Are you taking advantage of the Prime Day deals this week? Shop using Amazon Smile in your browser or your mobile app, set your charity as the Lilja PTO, and we will get a donation for every purchase.
Classroom Resources
Thank you to Ms Levine of KL for sending us some photos of her students enjoying the brand new Magnatiles in their classroom. Every teacher (including specialists) receives a $180 stipend from the PTO per year for classroom supplies.
