This event is an important fundraiser for our school.

Calling all Sprague Bakers
Preheat your ovens, and show off your best cookie recipe at our yummiest fundraiser! We NEED tons of cookies and we appreciate ANY amount you can bake but this year we are hoping for 3-6 dozen per family.  If you can bake more it will be GREAT, but if you cannot, no worries! We also welcome gluten-free and peanut/tree-nut free items. If you cannot bake, consider purchasing items at a local bakery that look homemade!  Wrap up the cookies festively in bundles of 6 and label them with the type of cookie you baked OR just label them and we will wrap them for you for a $5 flat fee.
Drop off cookies: Thursday December 5th at car line from 8:10 to 8:45

Please let us know how many cookies or other baked items you are able to make by either:
*Filling out the form being sent home via backpack this week and returning to your child's teacher OR
*e-mailing Adam Van Arsdale at adam.vanarsdale@gmail.com

We need Volunteers
To make this a great event, we need volunteers to wrap cookies, help set up, be cashiers, and help clean up. 

*Click HERE to sign up for the following volunteer shifts:
   -8:10-9:00 / 9-11 / 11-1 / 1-3 / 2:30-5:30 / 3:30-4:30 / 4:30-5:30

Thank you in advance for making our Sprague Cookie Walk a success!!!

Cookie Walk is getting GREENER!

Remember Me! Books

Remember Me! Books is a great program at Sprague that helps the library grow it's collection of new and exciting books for your children.  Throughout the year families can purchase books from a special wish list created by Librarian, Ellen Mandel, donate them to the library and then dedicate those books to their children: celebrating accomplishments, birthdays or honoring a staff/teacher.

There are 2 ways to donate:
Amazon:
1. Go to "Wish List" then "Find Someone's Wish List" and type in Sprague School
2. View our list, choose a book(s) and add them to your cart
3. Make sure you ship to "Ellen Mandel - Wellesley, MA " - Sprague's Librarian.  If you are buying books for yourself at the same time, you can ship to your home and have your child bring the donated book to school
4. Don't Forget - click on "Ordering a Gift" and type your dedication that the Librarian will add to the inside cover of the book once it arrives at the library

Wellesley Books:
1. They have a Sprague wish list on file at the children's desk at the back of the store
2. Choose and purchase your books off the list and deliver them to the Sprague Library desk where you can fill out a dedication form

Once your book is in the library and it has a dedication plate...
It will be shared with your child's class during Library time
Your child will have their picture taken for the Remember Me display board and be the first to borrow the book if they choose
Your gift is noted in the PTO blog
The book will then become a part of the permanent library collection for all the Sprague students to enjoy!

THANK YOU - Remember Me! Books 
Thank you to the following Sprague families for their amazing support and generosity to the Sprague Library: Martinian, Stevenson, Fischmann, Cahaly, Walsh, Marvan, Frost, O'Neill, Tong, Del Col
