Dear Sprague/Hunnewell Families,

Congratulations to our Sprague family members Jenny Lee (2nd and 4th), Alex Baker (almost K, 4th, and middle school), and Ellen Banthin, grade five teacher, for successfully reaching a well-earned goal of completing the Boston Marathon!  Each is a great example of hard work, perseverance, perhaps some pain, goal setting, and determination….then…. accomplishment!  Thank you for being great role models to our Sprague students.  If there were other Sprague/Hunnewell families that trained and ran that I am not aware of, congratulations to you, as well!

Please let me be the first to welcome you all back on Monday, April 24th!  Hold on to your hats as it is all downhill from here.  I hope everyone had a wonderful vacation full of peace and quiet.  Welcome back!
