Science Fair 2021

Adolescent Program and Upper Elementary students will be sharing their Science Fair projects electronically this year. Similar to UE Project Night, we will publish a website exclusively devoted to the Science Fair.

AP and UE students and parents should refer to the Science Fair instructions email. Projects are due in Google Classroom on March 10th.
Flashback to last year's Science Fair!

Thank you to everyone who responded to our survey.
Thacher Diversity Corner
Diversity Committee Update

It’s been wonderful to celebrate Black History Month. Supporting Black Businesses is one way we can all contribute. We encourage you to check out several restaurants that gained popularity in a recent Boston Black Restaurant Challenge.

The Diversity Committee has been brainstorming ways to involve people from all backgrounds. Please provide your feedback, resources, and suggestions in this Google doc. What could you suggest? Well, it could be the title of a book, board game, documentary, or more. Thacher is looking to expand resources and start the work to build a more inclusive environment. This will be one of many ways to celebrate and recognize the beauty in diversity!
