Originally posted on May 20; reposted on June 4: The final week of our school year will have some unique elements, as we add more structure to the remote learning schedule to better accommodate for final class meetings, exams, and project presentations. Like a typical TA final exam week in years past, we have devoted two days for extended time; this year, Tuesday is reserved for A & C block classes and Thursday is reserved for B & D block classes. Teachers will provide students with specific instructions and expectations related to their classes for those days. Another element in keeping with...


Panthers, we have approached the final countdown. After a spring semester we never could have imagined, we're nearing the end of the 2019-2020 school year. This will be the last edition of our newsletter for the year. We hope the tools, links, and tips have been helpful. As we head into summer and the weight of school lifts for awhile, it's important to continue to keep self-care in mind. This summer is going to look different than the summers of years past, and we will all need to find ways to have fun, be social, and get our chill on with whatever protocols for social...


Listen up, Seniors, I just want to say thanks! Thanks for being who you are and for the person you'll become. For those of you whom I have known since kindergarten and before, to some like Lily who joined the class this year, hello and I salute you! It's fairly obvious you'll never forget this year, and I hope you never forget each other. This year, like all the years, is a mix of what was and what might have been. So take with you what you made of it. The glass, as my dad always said, is either half full or...


During this challenging spring, as our nation deals with a global pandemic, we are also now reeling from recent acts of intolerance and racism, most notably the horrific death of George Floyd in Minneapolis at the hands of a uniformed police officer. Protestors crying out against racial injustice are rallying in small and large cities around the country, including in Vermont and New Hampshire. Although at times some of us might feel removed from the violence and tension living in a more rural area like ours, it is impossible to ignore the senseless killings of Black Americans and reports of harassment...


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 your year, 2020, will be always remembered, for better or worse, as the year that you all made the best of a bad situation and dealt with a HUGE disappointment that life threw at you. I wish for you much adventure, joy and success with what you have chosen to pursue....


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 their own senioritis, and the class of 2020 would definitely have given us all a run for our money! I will never forget you all, or your senior year, even though (and perhaps especially because) it looks different than any other classes’ ever before.  One of my favorite parts of my...
