110 Overdue Library Books!

Chances are, there is an overdue library book some where in your home. Please look around, and ask your child to return all overdue books. Thank you.
Open House a Success! 

The 41 families who attended last Saturday's Open House seemed interested, happy, and eager to learn more about us. In fact, we are already starting to see positive results. A few families visited again this week!

Thank you to all families who volunteered on Saturday. Thanks also to the families who helped promote the Open House by placing a yard sign in their yard, distributing flyers, sharing social media posts or telling a friend about our school.

I specifically want to thank the following student volunteers:
Graham Coakley, Elva Fellers, Mila Fidalgo, Juliana Fortin, Nia Fuller-Hammond, Lucy Gelman, Owen Grubler, Lee Jacobs. Peter Jamrog, Zoe Jin, Arianna Jolly, Dalia Katz, Lilly Kendall, Anais Kim, Kyle Kruel, Naomi Leung, Elspeth McSurely, Lina Mici, Georgia Noble Miller, Liam Parsekian, Ariana Ruiz, Teo Russell, Alex Turgeon, Leah Vaz, Eric Westcott, Sadie Wetzner-Crothers.

Choosing a school is one of the most important decisions families make for their children so it was nice to have representation from every branch of our Thacher tree. Thank you again to everyone for helping to showcase our school.

Please feel free to return all yard signs.

Sincerely,

Nikki
Strategic Plan Town Hall

Thanks to everyone who joined me on Wednesday evening to be part of the Strategic Plan Town Hall. It was a pleasure to meet parents, teachers and staff and to watch as everyone engaged in thoughtful brainstorming.

On behalf of the Task Force, I appreciate your time and thoughts. I also look forward to reading the results of the online survey.

Thank you!
