Love for Lowell Fundraiser: Spreading Kindness and Raising Funds!

We are excited to kick off Love for Lowell, a heartwarming two-week fundraiser to support our PTA and provide vital resources for our students. The goal is to raise $17,000 to fund field trips, special events, classroom supplies, and so much more!

Here’s how it works: Students will reach out to family and friends for donations, then show their appreciation by completing an act of kindness in return. It’s a wonderful way for our school community to come together, spread positivity, and make a meaningful impact on our children’s learning experience.

Let’s unite in the spirit of generosity and make Love For Lowell a success as we Get The Love and Give The Love!

Cause: Love For Lowell Craft Fair! 

Calling all crafters, creators, sellers, and shoppers: All Lowell students are invited to participate in our 2nd annual Love for Lowell Craft Fair on Monday, September 22nd after school, from 3:45-5pm. This is a fantastic way for students to involve their families, experience some fun entrepreneurship, and showcase their creativity, all while giving back to our school community. Students will have the opportunity to sell homemade arts and crafts at the fair then donate the profits to their fundraising efforts for Love for Lowell, which supports our PTA and funds amazing school activities like field trips, special events, and classroom resources.

Whether you’re shopping for unique handmade items or just supporting a good cause, the Love For Lowell Craft Fair is the perfect opportunity to get involved and make a difference. If you’re interested in participating, please return the sign up sheet (sent home with your child on 9/12) to school by 9/17. Don’t miss out on this fun and meaningful event! We can’t wait to see what our students will create!
