Serving locally sourced Vermont foods in the Panther Café is becoming more of a reality.  In February 2026, Thetford Academy was awarded the Vermont AOE Child Nutrition Programs Local Food Incentive Baseline Grant in the amount of $4,518.54. This funding serves as a catalyst to expand efforts to purchase and incorporate more local foods into the school nutrition program.  Local purchasing supports our Vermont economy, puts healthier ingredients in the cafe, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions from food travel. The Farm to School Team—which includes Sean Meghegan (School Nutrition Manager), Kate Reimanis (Garden Coordinator), Gretchen Czaja (PE & Health), and Kim...

The community is invited to a presentation by David Briggs on Saturday, May 2 at the Thetford Center Community Association building (on Rte 113), with a potluck gathering at 5pm and the presentation scheduled for 7pm. David will share stories and reflections from both sides of his family tree from earliest settlers through the 20th century. He feels like the pieces of his family's roots and stories comprise a 'crazy quilt' of the Thetford fabric to add to others' collections and oral histories. As part of his talk, David will be reciting a poem of his great-great-grandmother, Mary Hosford, who migrated...
