Dear Students and Parents,
Nothing can stop the Holiday Cheer of Lurgio! During the past several weeks, Lurgio students brought in donations of food for families in need. With school cancelled and the snow piling up outside, the staff from Lurgio and BHS answered the rallying call to spread good will to the Bedford Community. Over forty staff members and their families braved the weather today in order to prepare and deliver the thirty food baskets. It is moments like these that I feel most proud and fortunate to work with such wonderful people.
From our Lurgio Family to yours, Happy Holidays!
Ed Joyce

Lurgio Tech Corner Update
Over the past few weeks, we have noticed an increase in the number of students who are not being prepared with their chromebooks. Many are forgetting to charge their chromebooks or forgetting their chromebooks at home.
We would love your help! Please help your kids come up with a system/plan to charge their chromebooks every night and to bring them to school every day.
