End of the Year Fun for Everyone!
Are you ready to JUMP into summer? Ross A. Lurgio is hosting a night at the recently opened Launch Trampoline in Nashua on Friday, June 12th from 4p.m. to 8p.m.. The fundraiser is open to anyone and younger siblings are welcome. Go online at www.launchnashua.com to reserve your jump time or just show up ready to soar. All you need to do is let the person checking you in know that you are there to support Lurgio Middle School or show them a copy of this flyer. This is a great group activity and it will surely get out some of the end of year energy that's so abundant this time of year. 25% of all proceeds will support Lurgio National History Day students competing in the national competition at the University of Maryland, June 14th-18th (www.nhd.org). We sincerely thank you for your support.
Enjoy Dinner Out and Support National History Day
Let's make 'history' at Bedford Chipotle on Monday, June 8th from 3p.m. - 8p.m.! Have dinner at Chipotle (eat in or take out) next Monday, let them know that you support Lurgio National History Day or show them a copy of this flyer on your smartphone. It's that easy and it's oh so yummy. 50% of proceeds benefit National History Day.
Awards Night & Cardigan Night - Revised Schedule Event
Due to significant chance that both or softball and our baseball teams will be competing in the finals on Thursday, June 4, we have adjusted the schedules for both the 8th Grade Awards Night and the Cardigan Information Night.
The 8th Grade Awards Night will now be held at 7:00PM on Thursday, June 4.
The Cardigan Information Night will be moved to the 8th Grade Open House in September.
We made this change in order to allow our student-athletes the opportunity to compete in their finals and attend the awards ceremony. We are proud of all of our students for both their academic and their athletic accomplishments. We hope that this slight change in schedule does not inconvenience families but rather allows all students to receive the recognition they deserve for their efforts both in the classroom and on the playing field.
8th Grade End of Year Events
Attention 8th graders: As the end of your time at Lurgio approaches, you have many exciting events and activities in your near future. The fun kicks off with the eighth grade dance on Friday, June 5th. Admission to this 8th grade only dance is free, and it has its own unique theme. On Monday, June 15, the 8th grade goes to Canobie Lake Park, and because your teachers love rides and carnival games as much as they love you this will be an extended day. You will all stay until the park closes at 4PM and buses will be back to Lurgio between 4:30 and 5:00PM. On Tuesday, June 16th, the student council sponsors the 8th grade feast. On this day, the entire 8th grade enjoys a feast and then sign each other’s yearbooks. Enjoy!
BSD Food Service - End of Year Message
The Bedford School’s Food Service Program is a firm believer that a hungry child will struggle to learn, so we take great pride in serving nutritious meals each and every day! Therefore, it is very important and necessary for all student lunch accounts to be PAID-IN-FULL with no outstanding balances by the last day of school. Also, remember that your student’s account balance will carry over each year, even if they are moving up to a new school. If they have a positive balance at the end of the year it will be there for them to start again on August 27th, leaving one less thing for you to think about during those first few days of the new academic year!
Enjoy a great summer vacation!
From your Food Service Staff
Please Return Sports Uniforms!
Attention all Fall and Winter athletes: please return your uniforms if you have not done so already! Please return your uniforms to your coach, or to Mr. Demers in the Main Office.

Lyme's Disease
The warm weather let's us spend more time outside. As a result, it is important to remember to be cautious about ticks and the possibility of Lyme's Disease. This link from the Center for Disease Control has some helpful information for parents.
CBY@RAL Summer Leadership Retreats
Is your student part of CBY@RAL or CBY@BHS? There is a great opportunity taking place this summer. Youth members of the Coalition for Bedford Youth have the chance to attend two leadership retreats this coming summer. CBY is a group of 8th-12th graders that work together to promote healthy assets (as seen on our website- click HERE) through various activities. In many situations our older more experienced members will guide and teach the younger members leadership skills and knowledge of the organization. However, all of the students can benefit from more formal leadership training not only to find and develop their personal inner leaders, but to build leadership continuity and encourage a collaborative environment bringing new leaders along. Training will also enhance the group dynamic through understanding the underpinnings of good leadership and building personal toolboxes that lead to teamwork with multiple leader styles. We are hoping these programs will help all our CBYers develop their inner leader, because all students lead differently within their peer group and community. These two leadership opportunities are open to ALL CBYers... CBY@RAL and CBY@BHS... 8th-12th grade (including CURRENT 7th graders)!
ADVENTURELORE: Friday, June 26, 2015 9 am – 3 pm
DRIFTWOOD: Friday August 14 – Sunday August 16, 2015
Please contact CBY (by e-mail info@cbynh.org) for more information regarding the two leadership opportunities.
