Dear Lurgio Families,
Our Bedford Parent Teacher Group (PTG) is looking for parent volunteers at Lurgio! The PTG provides countless volunteer hours in our school every year. Please consider signing up to join this wonderfully generous group. Instead of sending home a paper volunteer form to fill out and return, the PTG now offers a Volunteer Google Form for each school. To access the form click HERE, check school websites, or the PTG website www.bedfordptg.org under PTG Forms. After you complete this form, you will be notified about volunteer opportunities at the school.
Enjoy,

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 “Cub of the Week.”
This week, we had a group of Lurgio students who went above and beyond for their peers and we have three picks for Cub of the Week.
This week’s Cub of the Week is Lukas Bender. Lukas was kind enough to offer his top locker to another student who needed it. Thank you Lukas. Your awareness of those around you and your willingness to lend a helping hand are truly inspiring to our school community. You make Lurgio a great place to learn.
Notes from the Nurse
Attention 8th Grade Parents: Please bring all medications for Cardigan to the health office no later than Friday, September 19th. All prescription medication must be brought to school by the parent, in the original labeled prescription bottle, with the exact number of doses needed for the trip, along with the Prescription Medication Form from your student's PCP.
Attention 7th Grade Parents: 7th grade students are required by the state to have a TDAP vaccination prior to entering the 7th grade. If you did not provide this information to the nurse at McKelvie, please send in a current physical examination and immunization record.
Please contact Ms. Chessie with any questions.
