Dear Sprague,

Hello.  Wishing those that observe the holiday, a happy holiday weekend!

Please note there is no school on Monday due to the holiday.

BIG WEEK!  On behalf of the entire Sprague staff, WELCOME BACK TO SPRAGUE SCHOOL!

This has been a long time coming, but the time has arrived.  Great things come to those who wait.  This means great things are on the horizon!

Please note that the return will bring some questions and confusion.  This certainly is to be expected and is welcomed as we work out all of the reopening kinks.  Please be patient and never hesitate to ask for clarification.  Your support with our new procedures is what is needed to ensure its success.  Thank you in advance!
