Pizza Day is Back!

Thacher's popular Pizza Wednesdays are back, and our online order form is open. The first session starts November 2 and runs until January 4. You are welcome to order pizza for students in all classes - pizza will be delivered to classrooms at lunchtime and served with a piece of fresh fruit.

Our Middle School students sponsor Pizza Wednesdays as fundraising for the class end-of-year Odyssey. Our pizza comes from Comella's in West Roxbury.

Please place one pizza order for the entire session.

If you have any questions regarding Pizza Wednesdays, please contact Renay Bane at [email protected].
