Parents invited to Friday Student Assembly
Friday, Nov. 16
9 to 10 a.m. - Assembly for Grades 3, 4 and 5 in the gym.
Saturday, November 17th 1:00-3:00pm
It's that time of year when we have to put the Sprague Garden to rest for the winter. It is scheduled for Saturday, November 17th from 1:00-3:00pm. We do not want to wait any later than this date as we would like to beat the cold weather. We need volunteers to come and help by getting rid of all the dead plant material (which we will be taking to the dump) as well as moving some mulch so it will be ready to start fresh in the Spring. Remember the Sprague community gets to enjoy the garden throughout the season so why not come out Saturday November 17th and lend a helping hand. Any and all help will be appreciated but the more help there is the faster it will go!! Please bring your gardening gloves, rakes, shovels, loppers, hand pruners, and spare garbage bins/pails. Please rsvp to Margaret_Flitsch@Wellesley.k12.ma.us.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you Sprague Volunteers & Staff
Special thanks to....
All of our Sprague walkers who walked to school last Thursday despite the nor'easter; along with Marissa Rosenbaum, Laura Brown MacKinnon, Susie Ellis, Catherine Mirick and Margaret Flitsch who helped with check in and footies.
All of the parents and staff who came to the PTO Coffee last Thursday to hear Glen and Jane Magpiong speak about, "Are your kids Coach-able?" The lecture was very well received by parents. Thank you to Andrea Giroux for scheduling the speakers and bringing the coffee:-)
Brian Hagar-McKee, Laurance Stuntz, and Andrea Giroux for their participation and representing Sprague in last Thursdays Spelling Bee sponsored by WEF. What a great team they were - almost won Round 2, but got beat out by the Schofield PTO. Maybe they'll take home the cup next year!
Jeny Brown and Lisa Jones for leading our Box Top Collection Drive last week and the many parents/teachers who clipped box tops for Sprague!
Leslie Tellalian for leading our UNICEF Drive and the many children who took collection boxes out on Halloween night.
Leslie Tellalian and Anne-Marie Hayden who led 5th grade babysitting services during conferences and to all of the 5th graders and parents who worked the event. Kudos to the 5th graders who also helped out in the front office and with the lost and found during their shifts.
Jenn Caiazzo for running the Sprague Spirit Shop this week during parent conferences and the PTO Coffee -- as well as coordinating the online sale this week.
Andrea Giroux for setting up the CPK day and Moms' night out. And to the many families, Sprague staff including Lennie Becker and moms who came out to support the event.
Room Parents and volunteers who helped out this week in the classrooms and who attended the Old Sturbridge Village field trip.
Scott Grady, head custodian, and the custodial staff for their amazing coverage during a very busy week with Election Day and the WEF Spelling Bee. Scott is always there to lend a hand even during difficult weather like we have had lately:-)
