Dear Thetford Academy Class of 2020, Although I have not been one of your educators, coaches or mentors, my work here at TA has offered me the opportunity to watch each and every one of you grow and develop into the fine young adults you have become through your performances, athletics, Founders Day, ODW and collaboration with some of your outdoor classes. Missing traditional graduation ceremonies this year is disappointing for all of us but makes your achievements no less earned, no less important, no less admired and no less gratifying. This is but a brief moment in history. Before you know it, you...

Dear Thetford Academy Senior Class, To say that the final months of your senior year have been a whirlwind, is an understatement. It certainly is not the way I expected it to end for any of us-but here we are. I wasn’t sure how to write this letter and what really to say to all of you. I cannot imagine what you are all feeling and thinking. You missed out on things like prom. Your final year of sports for the athletes. Missing your senior trip. All of these things you look forward to as a younger student, gone. Here is what you...

Dear Seniors, This year reveals in the starkest way that nothing is permanent, that our lives are only somewhat under our control, that we must bend in the wind or risk breaking. This experience will make poets out of some of you; others will become filmmakers and musicians; others novelists. Some of you will go into medicine to find cures for the next pandemic. Some of you will return to the land and grow food and raise animals to feed your fellow Vermonters. Some of you will run for public office and demonstrate, for a new generation, the leadership Vermonters have always...

by Ethan Marshia It seems like it was just yesterday that we all ventured out on our first journey together. Entering the portal to a seemingly otherworldly dimension. I was just a mere fledgling. This class has given me everything I could have imagined and more. It has allowed me to see the forest through the trees and the trees through the forest. I am able to view the world through many different layers at this point in time. It has allowed me to wonder. To wonder about the unknown, to wonder about the natural world and see it through a different...

Dear Class of 2020, During this time of quarantine and Coronavirus, you, the class of 2020, possibly more than any graduating class before you, know that the future is unknown. Yet as students, you’ve been here before. Many times you opened the book, picked up the paintbrush or the musical instrument, stepped out onto center stage, sat for the test, or have been the new kid, and despite sometimes feeling shaky and unsure, you took a deep breath, and not knowing how it would turn out, leaned in and took a leap of faith. Through perseverance, resilience and continued hard work,...

Congratulations to the members of the Class of 2020, You have used your creative energy and boundless enthusiasm to push through this very challenging experience to graduate high school!. (The last few months certainly give new meaning to the term Senioritis!) You should be very proud of your many accomplishments from when we were all at school together, and you should take pride in your determination to finish while we were apart. You are an inspiration to your teachers, your families and your community. I know I have been inspired by your positivity and good will. I have fond memories of your spirited...
