Thacher Family Diversity Potluck Gathering
Hosted at the home of Jenny Miller & Hilary Noble on 10/26 | 5 - 7pm

The Thacher Family Diversity Committee is a celebration of the people who bring a multitude of cultures and experiences that make up our school community.  We are interested in organizing opportunities beyond the school day where we can connect with one another to socialize, educate, and celebrate that which makes us who we are. Whether organizing weekend trips to concerts or festivals, or sharing our own customs, meals, music, and festivities, we seek to enrich the lives of our families by coming together to build and rejoice in both what makes us unique and brings us together. 

We are holding a potluck gathering for all interested families on Saturday, October 26, from 5:00 - 7:00 PM at the home of Jenny Miller and Hilary Noble. RSVP below 

Musical instruments welcome!
