A solo spot is a quiet place in the forest that each student has chosen. Everyone's solo spot is near the yurt in the State Forest.

To her teachers, the December 2019 Student of the Month is known as a hard worker, someone who approaches learning not just with ability, but with a serious commitment to understand and improve in any way she can. She is not afraid to participate in class discussions and is happy to accept and incorporate coaching to make her already- strong writing, speaking, and other academic skills stronger. The same holds true outside the classroom.  In her debut on the track team, she scored critical points for TA in the high jump, contributing to the girls’ team’s state championship.

By Jack Hastings The Thetford Outdoor program took a field trip to the Hulbert Outdoor Center on November 7th. The class was presented with several low ropes course elements to overcome. One example of the elements we had to complete was a rope swing with two platforms called Nitro Swing. The objective was to get everyone to the other side without touching the ground.
