Dear Lurgio Families,
It’s hard to believe we are already halfway through the school year. Students are wrapping up assignments for the second quarter, rehearsals for the Lurgio spring musical production are in full swing, and our basketball teams are in the home stretch of the regular season.
Sincerely,
Ed Joyce
