Family Traditions Fair
Over 40 families representing cultures from District 103’s community participated in Laura B. Sprague School’s Annual Family Traditions Fair on Friday, Oct. 1.
Family volunteers hosted activities including games, dancing, traditional art, and playing musical instruments for students to experience. Some of the countries represented included India, China, Israel, Japan, South Korea, Greece, and Lithuania.
Throughout the week, teachers instructed students on understanding diversity through activities that asked them to consider how they are similar and different from their classmates.
In Lincolnshire-Prairie View School District 103 there are 43 native languages spoken in students’ homes. District 103 focuses on making positive steps toward creating inclusive, welcoming, and equitable learning and working environments for all students, parents, and employees.
While the event will end on Friday, learning will continue through the year in the students’ classrooms. Principal Ann Hofmeier stated that “students will continue to share and reflect on their learning from the Family Traditions Fair through writing and speaking opportunities,” and that “we are thankful to our dedicated staff and parents for providing this wonderful learning experience for all our students at Laura B. Sprague.”

Art Challenge
Sprague Art Teacher Allison Smith is challenging students to spend time at home creating a personalized piece of artwork to display outside the art room on a wall she now calls the “Art Challenge Board.”
Students must create an original piece of art at home and bring it to school. Each month a student from each class will be named Art Challenge winner of the month. Mrs. Smith will showcase students' artwork on the Art Challenge Board.
