Memory Tree Honors TA’s Loved Ones

Every year as the holidays approach, the Thetford Academy Alumni Association lights a “memory tree” in front of the White Building. Each bulb represents a lost loved one remembered by their fellow alumni, friends, neighbors, and family. This year, TAAA added a red string of lights on the tree for in memory of the lives lost to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Please join us in celebrating the lives of:
