Dear Sprague/Hunnewell,

Welcome back!  I hope everyone enjoyed a peaceful vacation and are recharged and ready to return.

Please join me in sending our Hunnewell friends and family the best as they begin the second half of their school year in their brand new school.  Good luck, Hunnewell!  You will be missed.

 

Message from Ellen Quick, Hunnewell Principal

To the Entire Sprague Community:

On behalf of the entire Hunnewell community, I would like to send a sincere thank you for welcoming us into your community over the past 18 months. We are so grateful for your willingness to embrace us with open arms, as our new school was under construction. We realize that you gave up your music and art room, as well as ancillary spaces to make room for us. We would not be moving in this past week if it were not for your generosity and support. I know our students and staff felt very much a part of the Sprague-Hunnewell community. Our fifth graders loved attending Treetops with your fifth graders, and I know the friendships made while at Sprague will be even more appreciated next year at WMS. Thank you again.

Sincerely,

Ellen
