Dear Sprague/Hunnewell,

Happy New Year!

Sprague/Hunnewell had a great first week back from the winter break.  There was no rest for the weary as we all jumped right back into the routine and expectations.  I am proud of the students!

Congratulations to the 258 Sprague/Hunnewell students that braved the New England winter elements during Friday’s Walk/Roll-to-School Day!  Thank you to the families that also braved the elements in order to support our initiative.  Nothing beats an early morning walk in the freezing rain.  That will wake you right up!
