Dear Sprague Families,

Our grade five students enjoyed a Thursday night dance party held at Sprague.  As a class, the fifth-graders danced, laughed, and had genuine and innocent fun, which was lovely to see.  Thank you to the grade five parent committee for making it happen!  This afternoon, the PTO is hosting an ice skating event at Babson.  The weather is perfect for a skate and wishing those attending a great time!  Thank you, PTO and Sprague families!

The Wellesley Physical Education Department held an annual blood drive at Sprague this past week.  I know there were many Sprague parents that were able to donate and for that we are grateful.  It truly is a matter of life and death.

Wishing everyone a peaceful weekend!
