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.”
This week’s Cubs are Jaxson Whitehead from pod 8-South and Alyssa King from pod 7-West! Alyssa has been a wonderful support to one her classmates. She is avid reader and takes time during her WIN block to read stories aloud to one of her peers. Jaxson has been an exceptional student mentor in the adaptive physical education classes and his regular physical education class. He is every patient, helpful, and supportive to all students in the class! Congratulations, Alyssa and Jaxson!

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.
