5th Grade Game Night
Friday, February 3  7- 8:30 pm 
Sprague School Cafeteria 
 
Game Night is an evening for Sprague 5th graders to get to know one another by playing their favorite board and card games together.  We will start out with an activity for the whole group and then divide the 5th graders into smaller groups to play.  The 5th graders should expect to play three rounds of games with three different groups.  Snacks will be served.
This is a drop-off event for 5th graders only.  

 
To participate: 
  • Make sure each 5th grader brings a board game for four or more players that takes 20 minutes or less to play.
  • Interested in helping out?  Please email jerosenbloom@gmail.com if you can chaperone and/or bring a snack or drink.  We need approximately 10 - 15 chaperones and snack/drink donations.  
Thank you and we look forward to a fun evening of games!

THANK YOU for a fantastic kick-off to the Auction...

Bruegger's FUNdraiser
It was so wonderful to see the many smiling faces at Bruegger's on Wednesday.  We sure do have a great spirit of community at Sprague.  Special recognition goes to the MacKinnons for being the first family to put their coupon to use bright and early.  And, we would also like to thank the General and Assistant Managers (Nathan and Erik) for all their support during this event (including putting together a huge order for the Staff breakfast).

Auction Socials
You will be amazed to see the final packages that are coming out of these gatherings.  There are some people doing really cool things and showing off their imaginations.  We are very fortunate to be able to give Sprague access to some truly one-of-a-kind experiences.  Big thanks to the Mirick, Barker and Giroux families for graciously hosting the events.
