Dear Families,

Another beautiful weekend in New England presents itself, and we are fortunate to have an extra day as we acknowledge Monday as Indigenous Peoples Day. I hope you take a moment to reflect on those who called these lands home long before our ancestors arrived. The Indigenous Peoples of the Americas held, and still do, hold a deep respect for their relationship with the Earth. Take time this weekend to find your connection to this beautiful land.

Have a peaceful weekend. I am looking forward to welcoming the students back on Tuesday.

Warmly,

Deba

Please join us in welcoming Daniela Field and Kirsten Glynn as the Co-coordinators of the 2021-22 Thacher Family Network (TFN). They will serve as liaisons to the Thacher Administration.

Daniela and Kirsten both have sons in Children's House and are looking forward to getting to know other Thacher parents.

Daniela and Kirsten can be reached at [email protected]

The Thacher Parent Facebook chat group is designed for members of Thacher's parent community to connect. All parents and guardians of Thacher students are welcome and encouraged to participate. The group is moderated by Thacher parents and a few staff members.

Support our school by shopping the Scholastic Store Online for a selection of exclusives, new releases, value packs, and more. All orders ship home and book-only orders over $25 ship free. Every purchase benefits Thacher and helps develop a love of reading.

This year's Parent/Guide Conferences will be held remotely via Zoom between October 25 and November 5. We'll be sending out an email next week with details and instructions on how to schedule your individual conference.

Indigenous Peoples Day. More to come in next week's Notes Home.
