Celebrating Our Veterans
Sprague honored veterans on Veterans Day with songs and a moving assembly. Staff also created a wall of veterans important in their lives. The assembly was recorded and posted to YouTube for parents to watch. Parents can also view photos of the activity on the school's Facebook page.

School Start Time Reminder
Arriving at school on time and ready for the start of the school day is a vital part of regular attendance. After 8:10 a.m. parents must walk their child to the front door.
Excessive tardiness contributes to lost learning. Parents/Guardians need to make every effort to have their student(s) at school on time for the start of our day at 8:05 a.m. (first bell). Students need to be in their classrooms and ready to begin their instructional school day promptly at 8:15 a.m. This goal can only be achieved with the cooperation of both parent and child. Regular attendance is essential in developing the important skills of responsibility and dependability.

About Dear Juno: Juno's grandmother writes in Korean and Juno writes in drawings, but that doesn't mean they can't exchange letters. From the photo his grandmother sends him, Juno can tell that she has a new cat. From the picture he makes for her, Juno's grandmother can tell that he wants her to come for a visit. So she sends Juno a miniature plane, to let him know she's on the way. This tender tale won the author an Ezra Jack Keats award, and is a perfect introduction to the concept of foreign cultures and far-off lands.
