Dear Seniors, The hairstyle in my senior photo (above) is the male counterpart, I guess, to the hairstyle that Karyn Neubauer included with her letter to all of you. I’m guessing that unlike Karyn, though, I stayed with that look longer than I should have. I rocked that look through college,...
June’s Student of the Month can be described with many positive adjectives: polite, considerate, conscientious, hardworking, tenacious, and many more as you’ll see. When challenges come his way, he doesn’t let them slow him down, rather, he seems to use them as fuel to drive him to even greater heights. Tim Renner,...
Dear Class of 2020, If you had asked me, at 18, if I wanted to become a school librarian I would have laughed and looked at you like you were nuts. Who wants to go back to high school when everyone is so desperate to get out of it? Why would...
Dear Class of 2020, I join you this year in saying goodbye to Thetford Academy. Pandemic strangeness aside, I know that all of you will move forward to a new life that is largely unimaginable at this moment. What you make of it will be a mixture of your own doing...

Dear TA Class of 2020, Never could I or anyone have imagined that this is where you would be in the spring of 2020. I think about you a lot these days; you have lost the thrill of a traditional graduation ceremony and everything leading up to it. But remember that...
Dear 2020 TA Panthers, Well, your senior year has certainly been one for the history books. I miss, each day, seeing your smiling faces, and I know my own sense of loss pales in comparison to what you are feeling. There is nothing more entertaining than convincing seniors to fight through...
