Dear Students and Parents,
Thank you to all of you that came out to our open house last evening. It was wonderful to see so many parents at Lurgio as we start a new school year. Please take a moment to give us some feedback on your open house experience by taking this brief, four-question survey. As always, your feedback is essential as we strive to make our school open and welcoming to our entire community.
Sincerely,
Ed Joyce
Principal

Cub of the Week
Each week, teachers nominate students for the Cub of the Week Award. Nominated students are those who have shown exceptional kindness, tolerance, and respect during the week. Each Friday, the Lurgio administration and guidance staff will review all nominees and will select the the “Cub of the Week.” The Cub will be announced in the Lurgio News.
We have such special students here at Lurgio that we had to choose 3 Cubs of the Week! Katelyn Smith, Lauren Christopher, and Kendall Kerr are the Co-Cubs of the Week. Each of these students displayed extraordinary acts of kindness as they went out of their way to befriend another student in an effort to make them feel more included. Congratulations, Katelyn, Lauren, and Kendall! Thank you for making Lurgio a better place to learn!

Cardigan Chaperones Needed
We are looking for chaperones for the 43rd annual trip to Mt. Cardigan. If you are interested in an all-expenses paid hiking and camping vacation this Fall, please register to be a volunteer by completing our online volunteer form [HERE]. The Cardigan trip is an essential part of the academic experience for our 8th grade students. Taking nearly 400 students up a mountain each year is no easy feat, and we could not do it without the generous support of our parent and community volunteers.
