May 2 to 6 is Staff Appreciation Week, and the PTO is planning a treat every day for our amazing Lilja staff! In previous (pre-Covid) years, families had been asked to prepare and bring a food item for a pot luck. Last year we switched to using different local businesses to supply a meal/treat, and this was such a huge hit we are doing it again this year. This is what we have planned for 2022:

Please donate to help us with our efforts here: https://www.konstella.com/open/donations/626c4527e63aed45a1f024e6

We know families are incredibly busy and parents are asked to do a lot, but if there is one thing you can contribute to this year that is most important, it is this cause. Lilja is nothing without the important people that teach and care for our children every day. Let's show them how grateful we are!

Families are also invited to submit a written note/photo using this form, ideally by this Thursday: https://forms.gle/3CeTYYHXjDo5nNrL7

Yearbooks are still available for sale! In previous years there were many late orders once books were distributed to classrooms - kids who didn't already order wanted one after they saw them, and unfortunately last year we ran out of copies. We encourage everyone to order in advance to avoid disappointment.

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.

We Need Your Help!
June 5 is the Lilja Carnival, a huge event which brings together the whole Natick community, not just Lilja families. We will need a lot of help for this in terms of both sponsorships from local businesses and parent volunteers, so if you are able, please sign up here: https://forms.gle/scmhzPDyxe3HgcEn8

HUG Volunteers
We are also looking for more 'HUG' volunteers to help welcome new families to Lilja, in particular those coming from Johnson. If you are interested, find out more and sign up here: https://liljapto.org/hug
