Dear Lurgio Community,
Today Lurgio students, staff, parents and community members collected, organized, and delivered thirty-seven food baskets. Each basket was chockablock with all the ingredients to make a great meal. Kudos to Mrs. Fairhurst, Ms. Mazzola, and the Lurgio Student Council for spearheading and organizing this wonderful donation to our community. In spite of the weather, it is a shining day for Lurgio. Everyone who helped should be very proud of their contribution.

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’s Cubs of the Week are Seth Hastey and Will Politi. Both Seth and Will are known at Lurgio as kind, generous, and thoughtful students. They are being honored as the cubs of the week for going out of their way to assist a fellow student that needs some help getting around Lurgio. Congratulations Seth and Will. Thank you for making Lurgio a wonderful place.

Stand By Me- Hannaford Fundraiser
The Stand By Me Hannaford fundraiser will run from 12/23/18-1/19/19. All proceeds generated by the book bin at the Bedford Hannaford (Jenkins Road) will be donated to the Stand By Me program.
How it works:
The book bin located at the front of the store, and people donate used books for others to purchase. Every two weeks, Hannaford donates all of the proceeds from the book bin to a different cause.
How to help:
DONATE BOOKS ‐ Drop off books to the bin that you would like to donate. Both adult and children books are accepted.
PURCHASE BOOKS ‐ Please take a few minutes to browse the used books in the Hannaford Book Bin during the first two weeks of January. It is an inexpensive way to build your child’s library or to find a good book for yourself!
Thank you to Hannaford for this opportunity.
We appreciate the support!

This week Students Against Destructive Decisions teamed up with the Books for Breakfast to decorate the school with a winter wonderland theme. The kids got together and decided: “Our Holidays are ‘BOOKED’ being drug free” as they worked together creating Holiday spirit with a twist. Watch for our next collaborative project when S.A.D.D. teams up with a Lurgio Club/ Athletic Team in the New Year.

Book Buzz
We had a fantastic Books for Breakfast Book Swap today, and everyone left happy with their new books traded and received. The book traded the most was JK Rowling's The Crimes of Grindelwald:
 |
At the end of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald was captured in New York with the help of Newt Scamander. But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escapes custody and sets about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings. In an effort to thwart Grindelwald’s plans, Albus Dumbledore enlists Newt, his former Hogwarts student, who agrees to help once again, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world.
