Book Fair THIS WEEK!

Wed 1 Dec & Thu 2 Dec, 2-8pm

Lilja Learning Commons (Library)

Masks required

We STILL need your help! We urgently need more volunteers, especially for between 4-6pm on Wednesday 1 Dec. Please click here to sign up now.


Everyone is invited to visit the school library to shop from a wide selection of books and gifts. All proceeds will go directly towards new books and supplies for the school. You can also directly purchase a book for your classroom from your teacher's wish box at the fair.

Don't forget to hand in the coloring page that was sent home with your child before 1 Dec for their chance to win some cool prizes! A copy is available to print here.

This is a fantastic chance to get much of your holiday shopping done without having to worry about supply chain issues, while supporting a great cause!

You will also get a chance to look through the Lost & Found shelves during the book fair, before the contents are bagged and donated.

For more details visit the book fair page on our website.

Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza Restaurant Night

Dine in or get takeout at Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza anytime on Wed 15 Dec and help out the PTO at the same time! Simply mention Lilja when ordering by phone or in person, or type 'Lilja Fundraiser' in the comments/special instructions for your online order, and they will donate 20% back to us.

Ongoing Partner Programs & Fundraisers

 

Lost & Found

The Lost & Found shelves are completely full and running out of space! Please remind your child to check the Lost & Found shelves, or visit the virtual Lost & Found. Parents and caregivers will have a chance to look through during the Book Fair when it will be temporarily moved to be close to the library.

After this time, any remaining items will be bagged up and placed in the white donation bins before winter vacation week. 

 

Natick Recreation & Parks Winter Brochure

Full of programs for all ages and interests, these are a great way to keep the kids busy over the winter season. There's something for everyone: learn to skate/ski/snowboard, home alone safety, musical theatre, LEGO classes, engineering workshops, and even a parents' night out.

Registrations open Tue 7 Dec from noon at https://register.communitypass.net/natick

What do you do at Lilja?
School Counselor

Can you tell us about your family?
My husband and I have a two year old daughter named Carey and a four month old son named Tyler! We also have a very lovable chocolate lab named Scooby!

What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
I enjoy spending time with my large family, many friends, getting outside, and cheering on the Boston sports teams!

You get one song to listen to for the rest of your life, what is it?
So hard to pick just one, but maybe some Taylor Swift to get up and dance to!

Finish this sentence: I can't live without…
dogs and ice cream!!! :)

What's a surprising fact about you?
I've been working with elementary school students ever since I was a middle school student myself!

If you weren't at Lilja, what would you be doing?
I'd probably be in the hockey rink! I've been skating since I was little and played all the way through college, and now I spend a lot of time coaching youth hockey! I can't wait for my own kids to have skates of their own!
