2011-2012
This year we are entering the Scholastic Kids are Authors contest! The focus of our two book entries will be:
We have accomplished a lot at school with community service and we look forward to seeing the kids write or draw about it and what further ideas they have. Contact Yolanda Tong bytong@verizon.net for more information or to volunteer. You may still sign up your child to work on an entry.
Student sessions are set up to organize and finalize our submissions:
Meet after school in the alcove and sessions last for 90 minutes. Students may leave earlier or stay until the end. Deadline for the contest submission is March 15th.
HEARTSONGS In 2010 Sprague introduced a new literary and art magazine for kids. How often does your child come home with that great work of art or writing that he/she is so proud of? How often do they say or do something you just wish could be shared with the world? HEARTSONGS is a great forum for it. Our premiere issue was printed for all families and was a great success with over 250 contributions from students and teachers who helped with special projects in class. Their creative and original work included: poetry, short stories, drawings, art, craft projects or even just thoughtful ponderings. Copies are available in the Sprague School office and library for your reading and viewing.
Parent involvement is key to making this happen! Please consider ways you can help and contact the current year committee chair:
