Dear TA Families, I want to thank the parents, grandparents, family friends, and community mentors who were able to attend end-of-semester presentations and performances in recent weeks. We know it is not easy to carve out the time during the work day and appreciate your participation. By showing up, you create a 'real world' audience for us and help bring our learning to a wider stage.  Building on my message from last week, here are a few more class highlights as 2nd semester drew to a close: Students in the fall play class put on an informal show titled "In Our Own Words" on...

Thetford Academy's robotics team is in the heat of their season right now, with just two meets to go before the VT/NH State Championship. In their most recent meet on January 4, the team took five robots to the "Bow Bot Bout" in Bow, NH to compete against 32 more from other schools. The first success of the day belonged to TA's middle-school team 4886A (Meredith Sloop, Peter Horan, Ira Corbett, Connor Abraham, and Ruby Cushman), who scored enough points and won enough matches in the meet's qualification rounds to earn their first shot at competing in the elimination series. Though...

Dear TA Families, As the rhythms of the school year go, a highlight for me as each semester comes to a close is attending final presentations in classes. Being in the audience as students proudly, thoughtfully, nervously - but also confidently - share their work and creativity, their reflections, and a bit about themselves, is an opportunity to witness and celebrate the culmination of five months of learning and growth.  Featured in the photos this week are two of the classes I visited in recent days. Students in English 10 presented their sophomore anthology projects in the Martha Jane Rich Theater on Thursday...
