ATTN STUDENTS: This is an important reminder regarding the rules of school bus safety. 
1.   Obey the Driver: The driver is the authority on the school bus and will take charge in the event of an emergency.
2.   Respect Others: Refrain from pushing, shoving, and name calling at all times. These actions create distractions for the driver and may lead to dangerous situations.
3.   Sit Properly: Riding the school bus is very safe if an accident should occur, but only if passengers are seated correctly. Sit with your seat on the seat, back to the back, and feet on the floor. 
4.   Speak Softly: Loud noises such as screaming, singing, or chanting, can be very distracting to the driver and may cause him to take his attention away from driving.
5.    Keep the Bus Clean: Eating and drinking are not allowed on the school bus. 

Students: Sprague will be hosting a tailgate before our home basketball game on February 2nd and a dance immediately after the game.  Ticket information is available through our leadership students.

This Monday is Martin Luther King National Day of Service.   By helping others, you will honor the legacy of this great man.  During the century after the Civil War, African Americans remained segregated in the South.  There they were treated with prejudice, denied voting rights and even lynched.  This time was called the “Jim Crow” era.  Many African American leaders sought to overcome this.  One leader was Martin Luther King.  He was a minister who led hundreds of thousands of blacks to use civil protest to bring about change. He was killed in 1968, at the age of 39.  In 1994, the Federal Government made this a day of service.  It is not meant to be a holiday—but a day of thoughtful planned service to others.  Thank you, Dr. King for changing the world with your bravery!
