Mountain Day! Yesterday the whole school ventured out to six trailheads in our region, stretching from Mt. Moosilauke in the north to Mt. Ascutney in the south, carrying on TA's Mountain Day tradition, first started in 1979. It was a beautiful day to enjoy autumn beauty and connect as a community. The hikes aren't easy, and we hope everyone felt inspired by the experience and the challenge. Sharing a few photos (attached) of our youngest and oldest hikers - the Class of 2030 on Mt. Cube and the Class of 2025 on Mt. Moosilauke. Look for more next week as we...

The varsity boys opened their season with a four-game winning streak - two of them shutouts - and are showing no signs of slowing down. With what the Journal Opinion called the Panthers’ “high-powered offense” (great photos in last week’s edition) and sophomore Matthew McGovern guarding the net, the boys have been scoring well - and not letting much through. Next up, the Panthers travel to Hazen, then take on Lake Region at home this Saturday at 11:00 a.m. Learn who’s on the team- and follow the Panthers on Scorebook Live for game schedule and scores.  On the girls side, the...

The event, founded by TA parent and former board member Dan Grossman, is well known for many things: great music, great food (shout out to the Thetford Academy Alumni Association), great energy, and great people. Of course, the Woods Trail Run is also known for its scenic 5K course, the Dan Grossman Woods Trail, designed by former Olympic biathlete John Morton. The course winds through TA’s 295-acre forested campus, challenging even the most accomplished runners with hills like the aptly named “Morty’s Monster." For the Thetford community, the event is an annual gathering of neighbors and a reunion of...

Dear Families, Let me start with one nuts and bolts item and then get to the fun stuff. If you haven't registered yet in our new student information system, Alma, please take time to do so this weekend. We hope you will find it to be a very user-friendly program. Here is a link to a parent guide about Alma with lots of screenshots to help you. And now to the heart of our time at TA: teaching and learning! The weather has been a perfect ally these first weeks of school to take teaching and learning outside the classroom walls. Students and teachers have been out...

The Panther harriers kicked off their season last Tuesday with a meet at Bellows Falls. Coaches Deffner and Silver were delighted to see 10 runners for the girls team toe the starting line and to see those same ten girls finish a rather challenging course. Having 12 girls on the team (two did not race) was particularly exciting, given the fact that in May, the team only had 3 confirmed runners. But Coach Silver presented an energetic and enticing video at a spring assembly, and Coach Deffner interviewed graduating members of the team about what the sport has meant to...
