Interested in occasionally volunteering at Sprague PTO events? Sign the All Hands On Deck volunteer list.

You'll receive emails when volunteer opportunities arise (i.e., shifts at the Fall Fest, set up a teacher appreciation lunch, hand out popsicles at playdates, pick up groceries or a gift card to meet a Give From the Heart request, etc...). 

This is a great way to get involved when you can!

Kids Backing Kids is once again holding a Holiday Gift Drive to benefit children and families in our surrounding communities. This will be our 4th annual Holiday Drive, and we can’t do it without you! In total, we have delivered over 12,000 gifts to children. Your participation would provide relief to many low-income families, and ensure that every family has a very merry holiday season.

If you are interested in sponsoring a child this holiday season, it is a very simple process! 

Simply sign up here: https://www.kidsbackingkids.org/holiday-gift-drive-form and we will email you the gift wish list of the child you signed up to sponsor.

Visit kidsbackingkids.org or email grace.rodrigue@kidsbackingkids.org for more information.

Join us on Thursday, December 7 from 9-10:30 for our monthly PAC coffee! The coffee will be at the home of Christine Mizzi at 16 Suffolk Road. The PAC supports families in town who have children (PAWS through WHS) that are receiving special education services from the district. 

If you are unable to attend this first coffee of the year, following are the dates for the 2023-2024 school year. Please feel free to bring a friend or forward to someone that you think may benefit from meeting others within the PAC community.
