President's Message

Hi Sprague Community, 

We hope everyone is enjoying a cozy weekend. Last week was a busy one — we had a successful walk/bike/roll to school day, a fundraising event at Isabel Harvey and the 5th graders danced the night away at Friday's Glow Party. And we're gearing up for yet another great week! Here are three things to know:

  1. This Friday is our 🎉100th Anniversary Celebration🎉 in the Sprague gym! Parents, alumni and the community are invited to join the all-school assembly starting at 8:45 a.m. More details below.
  2. We've got your dinner plans covered for Wednesday night 🍕 Order from Fiorella's on December 11, mention Sprague and they'll donate 15% to the PTO!
  3. Our Learning Express fundraiser is Monday - Wednesday. Mention Sprague PTO when checking out at the Needham, Natick, or Newton Center locations for 20% back to us! They have an awesome selection of toys, games, squishies, fidgets, and more great gifts.


Have a great week!

Rose & Wendy
