Your BiWeekly Update from Lilja Elementary School
November 27, 2024
Dear Families,
We are thankful for your invaluable partnership and contributions to our school community. Your support and involvement play a crucial role in creating a strong, supportive, and kind environment for our students. Together, we are fostering an atmosphere where every child can thrive and feel valued. Thank you for being an essential part of our journey!
Things To Know
EARLY RELEASE 11/27:
11/27 is an Early Release with NO ASAP or after school activities. Students are dismissed at 12:15.
REMINDER: COLD WEATHER GEAR:
As the weather finally makes a turn please help your children remember to bring cold weather gear to school. Some of our first recesses are early in the morning when it is still chilly enough to wear jackets. It's a good idea to dress in layers as some of the afternoon recesses can be much warmer than bus stop temperatures in the morning. Better to have the jacket and not need it then be too cold outside!
SEASON OF GIVING:
Every year, the Lilja PTO organizes a donation campaign during the holidays. This is a beloved tradition in the Lilja community because it gives us a chance to practice community service, alongside with our children, and to help local families in need of assistance. We hope this campaign uplifts hope and empathy in our community, and serves as an inspiration to our children.
This year, we are calling this donation campaign “Season of Gratitude: Lilja Gives Back” and will collect toys, clothes, outerwear, books, gift cards, and accessories. Donated items will be delivered to the Natick Service Council, for distribution to economically disadvantaged families in the neighborhood, and will also be delivered by the school confidentially to Lilja families who are in need of help this holiday season.
Please click on the link below to assign yourself to an item to donate. There are two tabs, a wish list for the Natick Service Council and also, one for Lilja families. Then, drop off your donation to one of the boxes outside of the Lilja library (or bring your gift card donation to the front desk).
If you’d like to give anonymously, please email pto@liljapto.org and we will update the spreadsheet.
Donations to the NSC will be accepted through Friday, December 6th.
Donations to Lilja families will be accepted through Friday, December 13th.
Thank you for your generosity and for helping our local communities in need.
