PTO Donates Funds for Playground Toys
At Sprague, we are fortunate to have a supportive PTO. With PTO funds, the school added toys to a quiet area of the playground.
"Not all children like to run around on the playground during recess. These creative building toys offer students an opportunity to engage in play," explained Principal Ann Hofmeier. "We added building structures, animals for the imagination, and many games. The area is very popular with all of our young learners!"

For the Safety of Our Learners
When it is raining or we are experiencing other inclement weather, please retrieve your child in the vehicle pick up line and do not exit your vehicles. The line will dismiss from the east doors so that students can stay inside until placed safely into their vehicles. Parents, please do not stand outside or get out of your vehicle as it can cause confusion for our learners.
For the safety of our children please follow the village signs around the schools - no blocking driveways, abide by the no stopping, no standing, no parking signs; follow residential roadway speed limits of 20 mph, and stay off of phones.
