Family Culture Day
Children wondered through the Family Culture Day fair testing out chopsticks, drums, making jewelry, and examining the beautiful traditions that many of their classmates take part in.
It was all part of the Sprague annual Family Cultural Day. Family volunteers showcased games, dancing, traditional art and musical instruments.
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. For more pictures of the event, please visit the school's Facebook page.
No School Monday or Tuesday
