Dear Sprague Community,
"The arctic fox is an incredibly hardy animal that can survive frigid
Arctic temperatures as low as –58°F (-50°C) in the treeless lands where
it makes its home. It has furry soles, short ears, and a short
muzzle—all-important adaptations to the chilly clime. Arctic foxes live
in burrows, and in a blizzard they may tunnel into the snow to create
shelter." - National Geographic
Each time I exit through the back door into our arctic freezer, climb the seven foot snow pile on the back deck, emerging from my burrow to scan the barren landscape for signs of life and ice dams, I feel more fox-like. Anyone else having these issues? I know many of you have actively tunneled into the snow to create snow shelters, so I can't be too far off...
Lately it has taken some fox-like behavior to find a spot in our shrinking parking lot. Once again, please be patient and cautious as all of us navigate around the blind corners created by the snow piles.
This week we can pad across the wind-swept landscape for Walk-to-School Day on Tuesday. If you wish to stick around, there is a discussion of the Common Core Math Standards at 9:00a in the cafeteria, followed by the PTO board meeting. The main topic for discussion at the board meeting will be the Spring Party/ Auction. Everyone is always welcome to join us. So, if you are curious like a fox (or crazy from the weather) about what happens during these meeting, I encourage you to join us.
On Friday morning we have the Sprague Open House at 8:00am. This morning time is a change from last year. We understand the morning time is not the best for some of you. The staff plans to evaluate whether the adjusted schedule encouraged more parents to participate after Friday and make any necessary adjustments going forward.
Warm Regards,
Matthew McKay
Sprague PTO President
