Inclement Weather & Schedule Changes
Weather cancellations can be tricky during the spring season, but you can stay informed in a variety of ways. We try to make the call by 1PM in the case of inclement weather. Please check the Lurgio homepage for school updates or the weekly schedule on our athletics website. In addition, you may want to check your email because coaches often communicate with parents once a call has been made.

Book Buzz
What's better than baseball and spring? Baseball and Books for Breakfast! Thank you Coach Demers and Coach Stevener! The boys baseball and girls softball teams joined Books for Breakfast today to celebrate baseball books and other favorite reads:

First book on deck is Heat by Mike Lupica:
Michael Arroyo has a pitching arm that throws serious heat along with aspirations of leading his team all the way to the Little League World Series. But his firepower is nothing compared to the heat Michael faces in his day-to-day life. Newly orphaned after his father led the family’s escape from Cuba, Michael’s only family is his seventeen-yearold brother Carlos. If Social Services hears of their situation, they will be separated in the foster-care system—or worse, sent back to Cuba.

Next up is Baseball Genius by Tim Green and Derek Jeter:
Jalen DeLuca loves baseball. Unfortunately his dad can’t afford to keep him on the travel team. His dad runs a diner and makes enough to cover the bills, but there isn’t anything for extras. So Jalen decides to take matters into his own hands and he sneaks into the home of the New York Yankees star second baseman, James Yager, and steals a couple of balls from his personal batting cage. He knows that if he can sell them, he’ll be able to keep himself on the team.
