Upcoming Week at Sprague

Welcome to Sprague!

To all the new families at Sprague, the PTO would like to welcome you to the start of the school year. For all the returning families, Welcome Back! We hope all of you enjoyed your summer and are excited for the school year to begin.

Sprague is a unique school, and home to an energetic and committed group of parent volunteers. Our PTO is here to enhance your families' experiences by providing support to the teachers and professionals who work at the school, as well as foster a positive community for all the families. We are very excited for the school year to start and look forward to building on all the hard work completed over the years by families who have created the very special community at Sprague.

So again, we welcome you wholeheartedly. Please reach out to us if we can help you, or if you would like to learn more about Sprague PTO. Our volunteer mantra is, "It's never too little or too late."  We aim to help all parents, grandparents and guardians find a time and place to volunteer at Sprague if they choose to do so-- so please, consider contacting us and learning about all of the opportunities we have. Some of the most memorable experiences the elementary years hold are field trips, art projects, and field days-- or simply the day my Grandpa came to read a book to my class.
