Dear Lurgio Families,
Today we celebrated another fantastic Stand By Me event with our seventh grade students and families. I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our Stand By Me Volunteers and especially to our co-chairs, Shana Potvin and Beth Fitzgerald.
Since its inception thirty years ago, Guidance Counselor Al Fredette has been a mainstay of Stand By Me. Today was particularly bittersweet as Mr. Fredette will be retiring at the end of this school year. He will be missed in our counselling office and at Stand By Me. Always a stalwart champion of students, I wish Mr. Fredette the happy, long, and healthy retirement that he has earned!
Have a great weekend,
Ed Joyce

Destination Imagination - Bedford DI in Top 10!!
Last week four teams from Bedford DI traveled to Kansas City as part of Team New Hampshire for the Global Finals tournament. All 4 teams brought a stellar presentation finishing Top 40. However, a shout out to The Mindblowers from McKelvie Intermediate School who placed 8th out of 65 teams from 17 countries, and made it onto the Top 10 Champions of the World. This is a tremendous achievement for both Bedford and New Hampshire DI. Bedford DI are so proud of all of our teams who brought solutions to both Regionals and State tournaments. We would like to thank all of our volunteer adults who acted as Team Managers for these kids this season, as without them, these teams would not exist. To all our students, thank you for a wonderful season of collaboration and creative problem solving.
Bedford DI would like to thank all of you who donated and helped with fundraising efforts. Also, please note that the Ecosmith Shoe Drive finishes up today, but you can continue to drop shoes, clothing, all fabrics, and stuffed animals in our Ecosmith bins year round in the school parking lots!!!!
