Dear Lurgio Families,
After 19 years as Bedford’s first School Resource Officer, Bill “Spike” Donahue is set to retire. Sadly, his last official day at Lurgio will be next Friday. Today we surprised Spike as all of the students and staff at BHS and Lurgio lined the halls to applaud his service to our community. It was very touching to see so many students genuinely express their appreciation for Spike. Thank you, Spike. You will be missed greatly.
Sincerely,
Ed
