Dear TA Families, Kudos to our whole school community for the many 'wins' we experienced today. Each grade level had their own agenda and version of the day, so check in with your student to get details about specific activities and personal highlights. A common theme across all the grades: Taking time out of our normal routines to celebrate students and their unique journeys, accomplishments, learning, and growth. Congratulations especially to the Class of 2024 for taking the senior roundtable experience to the next level this year - and to their junior classmates who showed up ready to participate as awesome audience members....

Despite last week's 16-inch snowfall, spring has officially arrived at TA and garden activities have begun! Beginning in mid-February, when the day length reached over 10 hours, plants began waking up from their winter slumber and began to grow again. The longer days provide enough natural light for most seeds to germinate and grow - and Horticulture students, in particular, have been taking advantage. Students are busy manifesting green on campus, working in the greenhouse and outdoors daily. In the greenhouse, they are seeding crops for the school garden and themselves, packing the space with bright green baby seedlings. Last...

The following letter accompanied students' report cards, which were distributed on Tuesday, April 9, 2024. Dear Thetford Academy Parents and Caregivers, Here on Thetford Hill, the daffodils are waiting patiently for the last of the snow patches to melt before bursting into bloom.
