Lilja Carnival - THANK YOU!
Wow, what a huge turnout for the Carnival yesterday! We are incredibly excited to announce that we raised just shy of $17,000 in profit ($34,905 in revenue and $17,930 in expenses) to benefit the school.
This will be a huge help toward funding the many programs at Lilja supported by the PTO, including teacher supplies, Cultural Arts, STEAM programs, supporting the costs of 4th grade celebrations, and more.
Thank you to everyone in the Lilja community who helped with this massive effort. This includes the volunteers who gave their time to do a shift in the games tent, concessions stand or ticket booth, the families who donated a cake for our hugely popular game, Mark, Bob and Luis our incredible custodian team, our sponsors (particularly our gold sponsor Dion's), Eastern Acrobatics who put on two amazing shows in the gym, and of course all the families who came along to support the event.
If you have any feedback or suggestions for future events, or would like to share any photos, please email us at pto@liljapto.org

Yearbooks are arriving at school this week!
We are pleased to confirm that all the printed copies of the yearbook are being delivered to the school this week!
We are still finalizing with the front office when these can go home with your kiddos, but we're aiming to get these out as soon as possible.
In past years, many who didn't preorder wanted one after the printed copies were distributed and they saw what they were like. Luckily we have some spare copies, and we will do our best to fulfill all orders made between now and the end of the school year. So order now at liljapto.org/yearbook
Parent Support Group for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)
Natick SEPAC is sponsoring an affinity group designed to provide support and foster community among parents raising children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Parents of children within the Natick Public School System (this includes out-of-district placements) are welcome. If your child has more than one diagnosis, among them ASD, you are welcome! If you suspect your child could have ASD you are welcome!
Please join SEPAC on the Natick Common Thursday, June 9 at 1PM to connect and share how the group can best serve its members in the summer and 2022-2023.
