Dear TA Families, Three Appreciations to Spotlight: As the fall season shifts into its final stretch, I want to share my appreciation for all of the coaches working with our panther athletes.

But the tough course doesn't deter athletes from coming to Thetford – instead, for most, it's part of the draw. At the Woods Trail...

Thetford Academy's VEX Robotics team membership has grown exponentially in the last few years, with TA's team "4886" reaching an all-time high this season with 25 members. There's a chance that number will grow, too, when the fall sports season comes to an end next month. "It's pure pandemonium in the robot shack after school," said Coach Leif Lawhite, "and the lights are often on well into the evening and on weekends." The team is working to build eight robots (five middle school and three high school bots) before their competition season begins on October 25. Each year, VEX launches...
