Pizza Lunches start next week!

The AP Pizza Company is offering Pizza Wednesdays again this year with some new changes. Parents will have a choice of gluten free or regular dough pizza. (Gluten free pizzas are thinner and smaller and priced accordingly on the order form.)

Please note - if you want your child to have pizza next Wednesday, your order must be placed before Monday.

Please place one order for the whole session that runs from 9/26 - 1/30. Lunch includes pizza and fresh fruit. Lead Guides will provide water as a beverage. Ordering closes on October 8.
Photo Shoot | Wed. 9/26

Professional photographer Patrick O'Connor will be at Thacher on Wednesday, September 26. He will be trying to capture a day at Thacher in photographs. The images will be used on our new website and in this year's marketing materials.

Not required of course, but it's always great to have a few shots of children wearing Thacher t-shirts (or other spirit wear) on the photo shoot day.
