Dear TA Families,

The first Saturday of October is upon us, and it’s time for the famous Woods Trail Run! Everyone is invited to this community event, 10am-4pm, on the TA campus. Come cheer on the 2000+ runners from all over New England who come to race on our beautiful TA cross-country course. For more info, visit the TA website and Lancer Timing.

Looking at the rest of October, here are some events to bring to your attention:

• PSATs for 11th graders – Oct. 9. Event contact: [email protected]
• Long weekend for students – Oct. 11-14. We have a teacher inservice on Friday and Indigenous People’s Day on Monday.
• TA flu clinic – Oct. 10. Event contact: [email protected]
• Last day of Quarter 1 – Oct. 25.

In addition to these events for current students and families, we will be hosting the fall Admissions Open House on October 20 for those looking to join our school community in the future. We welcome students entering grades 7 through 12 in 2025-26 and their families to campus for an afternoon of activities and presentations to learn more about Thetford Academy’s program. Please share the news with friends and family who are exploring secondary school options and guide them to the TA website. The event contact is our new Admissions & Enrollment Manager Sayer Wickham (TA ’06), [email protected].

Congratulations to the JV and Varsity boys soccer teams for their hard-fought wins yesterday, kudos to our awesome co-ed middle school team for another victory, and best of luck to our middle school and high school cross country runners tomorrow!

Happy Fall,

Carrie Brennan, Head of School
