Dear Sprague Community,
On this long weekend I find my thoughts centered on transformation. Signs of (dare I say) Spring are popping up as the snow rapidly melts away, although maybe not fast enough for some of us. The Sprague PTO transforms from year to year, and this year has been no exception. At the PTO board meeting on Tuesday we will update members on a few of the transformations occurring, and begin to consider how the PTO likely transforms next year. On Thursday evening the fifth grade basketball game is scheduled, a mile marker along the path of our children as they move from elementary to middle school, opening up new horizons and challenges.
At Town Meeting on Tuesday the school budget was approved. Dr. Lussier did a masterful job presenting the rising costs of level services, strategic investments, and critical improvements. In the approved budget is a pilot program for inclusion of a second language in the K through grade 2 classrooms next year. Assuming all goes well, the program would expand the following year to include grades 3 through 5. Two schools will participate in the pilot program, which are Sprague and Hardy. Ms. Snyder has been hard at work determining how the additional requirement will fit into the week. We should feel very fortunate Sprague was included and we have Ms. Snyder's expertise in administering a second language curriculum.
Thank you for the continuing support.
Warm Regards,
Matthew McKay
Sprague PTO President
