Remember to order your yearbook before April 30 to get the special presale price of $20. From May 1 orders can still be made, but the price will increase to $25.
Whether your child is in Kindergarten or a higher grade, the yearbook is a wonderful keepsake of the school year, full of photos from classrooms, specialists and school events.
Please consider adding a small donation to help cover the costs of offering a yearbook to the Lilja community, including families who may otherwise be unable to purchase one.
Order now at liljapto.org/yearbook
Take one (or two) nights off cooking this week and get your dinner from Square pizza! You can even get it delivered. Remember to add the fundraiser to your order before checkout.
Join us for a spring dance! Please note this is NOT a drop off event, a parent/caregiver will need to be present with their child(ren).
Please have your child check the Lost & Found to retrieve their belongings, any items left on the shelves by April 14 will be bagged and donated.
Wilson Clothing & Shoe Collection
A message from our friends at Wilson Middle School PTO:
We have partnered with Funds2Orgs for a unique fundraiser and are looking for the support of the whole Natick Community. Funds2Orgs is an organization that collects gently used and new shoes, sends them do developing nations, and helps micro-entrepreneurs work their way out of poverty. This also helps keep shoes out of landfills, so it's a WIN-WIN!
With spring in the air, now is a great time to clean out your closets. Shoe donations can include:
High heels, sneakers, boots, flip flops, slides, sandals, dress shoes, even cleats, kid or adult sizes.
Must be gently-worn - No holes or tears, and must be a pair.
There is a large donation box in the Wilson Middle School lobby, right outside the office. Or if you have 10 or more pairs of shoes to donate, you can arrange for us to pick them up. Email wilsonmspto@gmail.com to make arrangements.
Collection runs through April 30.
