Dear Sprague Families,

This past week we rode the Covid rollercoaster.  Having said that, we rounded out the week with three straight days of encouraging news – zero positive cases.  Our continued hope and plan is to provide good news such as this!

Along the lines of encouraging news, on Wednesday, Sprague hosted our grade five parents for an in-person chorus/orchestra concert.  Not only did the parents enjoy the sounds of beautiful music from the grade five students, each also enjoyed the sights, sounds, and smells of the Sprague gym.  Of course we celebrated and recognized the students’ accomplishments while celebrating the slow but steady progress of in-person returns.  

I would be remiss if I did not congratulate our grade five students, Mrs. Dexter, and Mr. Russell for a well-orchestrated concert.  Congratulations!
