Dear Sprague/Hunnewell,

It was a great first week back from a lovely holiday weekend.  Welcome back!

Congratulations to the 270 students and family members that donned the cold temperatures during this month’s Walk/Roll-to-School Day!  Thank you for your support.

Sprague/Hunnewell is reviewing our school values – H.E.A.R.T* and C.A.R.E.*  During a school assembly this week, a challenge has been offered to all as we focus and highlight the H in H.E.A.R.T, which is HELP.  The school-wide challenge is to help ourselves, each other, and our school throughout the day and the month.  We are filling our “heart”, located in the main lobby, and when full, something special comes our way.  Go, Sprague/Hunnewell!  I know we can do it!

*Help, Effort for Excellence, Accept and Appreciate, Respect and Responsibility, Teamwork

*Community, Acceptance, Respect, Effort Towards Excellence

Wishing everyone a quiet weekend!
