Dear Lurgio Families,
Today was Science Career Day. Our 7th grade students spent their morning in wonderful interactive Science presentations. Thank you to the scientific speakers who so generously gave their time to our students. Also, I would like to extend a thank you to our PTG volunteers who ran many of the logistics of the day. Finally, I offer much gratitude to Mr. Dubreuil and Ms. Rockwell for coordinating the event.
Have a wonderful vacation,
Ed Joyce

Bedford TSA wrapped up a great season last week with a celebration of their accomplishments at the NHTSA Annual Conference and Competition. Students have been meeting since September to prepare for the event, and their hard work was evident in the number of trophies they brought home.
In addition to the student recognition, Mr. Fredette, Lurgio Guidance Counselor and TSA Advisor, was honored for his 36 years of involvement in NHTSA! Congratulations and thank you, Mr Fredette! TSA is open to all Lurgio students - come check us out in September!

Invitation for Past Members of RBS Rhythmics and RBS Singers!
We hope to connect with former Riddle Brook School chorus

At this Spring Concert, we will share a few reunion songs including “We Are The People Of The Twenty-First Century” (from the first concert, in October, 1999.) Also planned: “Guacamole” and “Born To Make Music,” which have been sung every year by our 3rd grade chorus, as well as “Fireflies” and “One, From A Chorus Line.” These last 2 songs have been the final set of Riddle Brook School concerts for the last 9 years. We look forward to seeing many alumni and we will invite them to sing along.
The celebration begins with alumni sign-in starting at 5:45. Past chorus member will receive a special program booklet, then are invited to attend a reunion gathering in the music room. The concert begins at 6:30. Please pass this to anyone you know who is a Riddle Brook School chorus alumnus. Mrs. Munz can be reached at this email:
