Dear TA Families, Thetford Academy students fanned out into the community and around campus today, rolling up their sleeves and working on projects, as part of our annual ODW Service Day.

Our students contributed their labor today and the funds raised by our many community 'employers' will go to support the Alpha Drop-In Teen Center in Dula, Zimbabwe.

At one of the pre-trip meetings for the 17 students who made the commitment to travel together to France and Spain, as students peppered Madame Heinzmann with the usual questions — How many pairs of pants should I pack? Should I bring my bathing suit? — she offered a piece of advice that stuck with us: “I probably won’t bring back many souvenirs,” she said, “but I will come home with memories — coffees, croissants, and moments shared with friends.” And make memories we did.  There was the flurry of forgotten wallets, phones, and water bottles before we had even left the...
