== History on Sprout ==
=== Premiere ===
The Sprout School launched when PBS KIDS Sprout did on September 26th, 2005, with Boohbah being the first show to air. It was designed to get kids out of bed and ready for the day and also to provide an alternative or substitute for school if they didn't have it or were staying home, as the show taught kids things.
The show ran every weekday morning for seven hours, making it Sprout's longest block. Having a schoolhouse as its main setting, The Sprout School never aired during Spring break, summer vacation, or Christmas break, though it did run during Thanksgiving break.
=== Cancellation ===
In September 2007, it was announced that The Sprout School would dissolve in favor of two new blocks that would launch later that month - Musical Mornings with Coo and The Sunny Side Up Show. The block last aired on September 21st, 2007.
