Dear Parents and Guardians,
The end of March is a wonderfully busy time of year for our performing arts groups at Lurgio. Next week you’ll be able to catch our school musical, The Little Mermaid, on Friday March 22 and Saturday March 23 in the BHS Theater. As part of our PTG Grandparents Day event, we are very excited to welcome grandparents to our building on Thursday, March 21 for a sneak preview of the show. Our staff and students have been working very hard to prepare and it’s sure to be a “splash!” Please see the news item below for showtimes and to purchase tickets. I hope to see you there!
Enjoy the weekend,
Ed

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 Sydney Grogan and Sean Greene. Sean and Sydney have become true, supportive, and loyal friends to a fellow student. Their kindness has not gone unnoticed by staff and students alike. Thank you to Sean and Sydney for helping to make Lurgio a better place.

Teacher All-Star Team

A huge shoutout to all of the players who participated in the Life of a Lion March Madness basketball tournament last night. A fun time was had by all and over $350 was raised to benefit the Bedford Food Pantry. Congratulations to our 7th grade champions, BSS Ballers and 8th grade champions, Ballerz. These teams played a great game against our teacher all-stars but fell a few baskets short. Way to go, Lurgio!

Book Buzz

Today we shared a graphic memoir called El Deafo by Cece Bell who lost her hearing ability as a young child. She illustrated the book and chose to use bunnies as her characters. This is her story about learning to deal with a hearing aid as she learns to lip read all while just wanting to make friends. She finds her own superpowers after a lot of hurdles. Check it out!
