HELLO FROM THE NEW BOARD
The PTO is delighted to welcome new board members, Rebecca Pineault and Alison Sullivan!
Hi! My name is Rebecca and I am very excited to be the president of the Lilja PTO. I have lived in Natick for twelve years and have two children - Morgan who is in third grade this year and my son Parker who is in seventh at Wilson. I am hoping for a great year ahead where we are able to grow our fundraising and our great group of volunteers. I look forward to a fun year getting to know everyone and supporting both our students and teachers.
Hello! My name is Alison Sullivan and I will be the communication director for the Lilja PTO. I live in Natick with my husband and our two daughters: Kiera, who is in first grade, and Hailey, who will start at Lilja in two years. I am eager to give back to the school community through this role, as so much of our incredible experience at Lilja so far has been thanks to the hard work of the outgoing PTO board and their fantastic team of volunteers.
We continue to look for people to help out with some of our awesome events throughout the year (The Lilja Carnival, the Book Fair, Yearbook, etc). These events are much beloved, and have a foundation already in place. All we need is YOU to make it all happen! Even if you can only help in a small way, every little bit counts toward making a memorable experience for our Lilja Lions.
Please reach out to the PTO at pto@liljapto.org if you have questions or want more information!
MORNING MISCHIEF
We need your help for this event and have three ways to volunteer:
Volunteer for hour-long shifts on the day of the event (eg. setup, welcome table, snack bar, craft table, clean up)
Donate treats (candy or non food) for the event. There is a donation bin in the Lilja front office. Please, parent drop off only - students are not allowed to bring candy to school per school rules.
yearbooks
Did you miss ordering last year’s yearbook? Are your kids fighting over the one you bought?
We have a small quantity of 2022-2023 yearbooks still available, they may be purchased at our website: https://liljapto.org/yearbook
*Note: 2023-2024 Yearbooks will go on sale later this year!
