Exciting update from Thetford Academy's Day of Giving last week: we exceeded our overall goal of 100 donors!

As of this writing, we stand at 46 alumni donors from generations of Thetford Academy families - so close to our 50 alumni goal! Thetford Academy's fiscal year closes on June 30, so there's still time to join us and...

Dear TA Families, Earlier this week the owners of the venue where the seniors had their prom sent me a nice note of thanks. While it was a surprise to receive - and a delight to read - the sentiments they expressed had a familiar echo. It's amazing how often I hear this kind of feedback, from visitors to campus as well as those encountering our students out in the world.
