The 6th Annual Thetford Geography Bee is coming up on Friday, Nov. 3, at Thetford Academy.  If you're unfamiliar, the Geography Bee is a series of multiple choice questions typically crafted around a topic.  This year's theme is "Vermont Critters."  How well do YOU know your wildlife? There are two divisions—Youth (Grades 5-8) and Adult (Grade 9 and up).  Each division alternates answering questions, correct answers are tallied, and the winning teams receive great prizes.  It's loads of fun, and as in past years, proceeds are earmarked for the Historical Society's Hughes Barn Museum. (This year is especially important, as the Museum's buildings...

The 27th annual Woods Trail Run took place on Saturday, Oct. 7.  Over 2,000 students from 100 schools across New England competed in 12 separate cross country races, making for an exciting day start to finish.

Beginning this month, the Student Council will be coordinating TA's Wednesday assembly program.  Their goal is to broaden student participation and recognition through a student-centered model. Bringing our community together once a week is an important opportunity for students to learn about each other from each other and participate in meaningful dialogue with each other. Students will be doing the lion's share of the presenting, and Student Council members will be working hard to help make that happen, both by running each assembly, as well as by encouraging their classmates to participate in assembly. One important aspect of this new approach is for students and employees...

In the last week of September, the Environmental Studies and Outdoor Education class created a 20-foot diameter yurt platform. Building the platform was a class project that pushed the students to learn new skills, work as a team, and take part in building their future outdoor classroom. The platform is located in Thetford Hill State Forest in the Upper Picnic area on an existing slate foundation that once housed a pavilion. The building of the yurt platform is a first step on improving and bringing back special places in the state forest. When the Goddard family first donated the land as...
