From January 3rd through February 15th we will be gathering items to give to build warmth for those with housing instability during this cold season. Items such as coats for all ages that your family no longer is using- bath products,(toothpaste and toothbrushes) and non-perishable foods (like granola bars or pre wrapped jerky) food items that are portable. If you are wishing to donate: Mrs. Lee is taking items from Freshman, Mrs. K-T from Sophomores, Mr. Nickel for Juniors. and Mr. Mahi for Seniors. Check with yourfamily, maybe they have items to share. We appreciate your help Sprague, let’s keep our community warm this winter!

Just a reminder that starting today the district is limiting spectators at athletic events. Please note that unless you are one of the four spectators listed on the athlete’s gate list, you will not be able to attend these events. The district will be reevaluating this in early February and we will get updated information out as it comes in. Thank you for your understanding. Go Oly’s!
It’s about time for some good news! In our latest art contest, Sprague takes eight out of 14 winning slots including the Grand Prize Cover Art. Our winners and their drawings include:

The theme for the 2022 calendar art contest, open to all students in Marion County and West Salem, and sponsored by Marion County Environmental Services and the Mid-Valley Garbage & Recycling Association was “Greenwashing: 12 Months of Eco-Swaps.” Greenwashing is the practice of using advertising, buzzwords, and suggestive packaging to convince consumers that products or practices are “sustainable” or “eco-friendly” when they are not. This relatively new term was not familiar to our class so we began to investigate it with research and writing, which led to concept development, planning and sketching, and a final draft.
Our winners will all be part of the annual art calendar, receive a Visa Giftcard, and be honored at a televised Marion County Board of Commissioners Meeting coming up!
