👟Second Annual Fun Run!👟

Wednesday, November 27th, dress in your neon leg warmers, parachute pants and shoulder pads for our 80s themed Fun Run! Visit our News & Events page for more info and to see when your child will be running.

You can help us collect toys at drop-off and support our children in the Fun Run. Check out the Sign-Up Genius for times that are still available. For questions about the event or volunteering, please contact Lauren Grignaffini-Morris or Kathy Newberry.

It's not too late to join the Sprague Elementary School team for this year's Wellesley Turkey Trot and help us win the Largest School Team award (we took home the $200 prize in 2022 and 2023 - let's do it again!). Kids participating in either the Fun Run or 5K get a special footie!

See you Thursday morning at our table in the Linden parking lot near M&T Bank for goodies and a photo with Spikey! The 5K starts at 8 a.m. followed by the kids 10-and-under Fun Run at 8:45 a.m. Gobble, gobble! 🦃

On Friday, December 6, the Sprague School Gym will get a glow up ✨ 5th graders are invited to attend the 5th Grade Glow Party from 7-8:30 p.m. with a live DJ, games and snacks!

Reach out to the 5th Grade Committee with questions!

LAST WEEK:

This past Friday, the 3rd graders met WCVB Channel 5’s on-air meteorologist David Williams for a lively weather presentation. The students learned that meteorologists launch a weather balloon 20 miles up twice a day to forecast the weather. The tool attached to the balloon (radiosonde) is used to measure the humidity, pressure and air temperature. The students also learned about typical New England winter weather as well as severe weather including hurricanes and tornadoes. Fun fact: The USA sees more tornadoes than any other country, and Texas is the state where they occur the most frequently.
