Some Spring Highlights:

First graders worked with LINX theater director Todd Morse to learn, rehearse and perform the Ghanaian folk tale Anansi and the Moss-Covered Rock. 

The members of Eine Kleine Konsort presented their Recorder Goes to School program to third graders studying the recorder. Students were invited to play along with the ensemble.

Joe and Vida Galeota shared a typical day in the life of a Ghanaian student with first graders studying Ghana.

Poet and children's author Lyn Littlefield Hoopes conducted poetry workshops in the fifth grade classrooms focusing on the Terra Cotta Warriors of the Qin Dynasty. Lyn worked with students to develop ideas and write from the perspective of the archeologist who discovered the Terra Cotta Warrior or the artist who created the figure.

These programs are sponsored by the Sprague PTO. Thank you for your generous contributions!

A special thank you to the members of the Sprague Creative Arts and Sciences Committee who worked with the teachers, staff  and numerous artists, musicians, authors, scientists and storytellers to coordinate over 25 enrichment programs for Sprague students this year:  Judy Boettger, Michele Frost, Angie Gakidis, and Melissa Martin. 

Thank you!
