Dear Sprague Families,

Today being September 11th, I would like to take a moment to recognize the importance of this day/its anniversary.  Even though it has been twenty years, never will the countless lost lives be forgotten or for not.  Their sacrifice will forever be remembered and honored.

I hope virtual classroom visits were successful and informative during this year’s Back-to-School Night.  Thank you for being present and engaged.  I also thank the Sprague staff for the hard work, preparation, and determination to make everyone feel at home and welcome.  The home/school connection will always be invaluable for our students’ success, growth, and learning.  Thank you for being our partners.   

For those that observe Yom Kippur, please enjoy the holiday this week.
