It’s that time of year again! And this Holiday season is a great time to show off your creativity. The Library will be hosting a DIY Holiday Workshop this year for students and staff. Come by and create décor or gifts on Dec. 5^th and 12^th after school or Dec. 6^th and 13^th during lunch. Materials are provided, we just need you to put your imagination to work! 12/13

Final lacrosse registration meeting will be held Thursday, December 7th, 7:00pm in the Sprague Library.  Hope to see you there. 12/6

Did you know that 71% of all new STEM jobs are in computing?  However, only 8% of STEM college graduates are graduating with Computer Science Degrees.  This is a high demand field and you could be that person that companies are fighting over.   This week is an international event known as Hour of Code.  People all over the world are encouraged to write an hour of code this week.  For more information look at posters in the hallway, talk to your teachers, or go to hourofcode.org and explore some ideas.

ATTENTION SENIORS! You must submit your Senior Portrait to the YEARBOOK by Friday December 8^th.  All information is on the YEARBOOK website. You can access the link under the ACADEMICS menu on the Sprague website.  Any portrait submitted after Friday is subject to a $25 late fee until Feb. 9^th. After that we can no longer accept any submissions.  GET THOSE PICTURES TURNED IN!
