This has by far been my favorite trimester at Thacher. I loved running cross-country. Being part of a team that could only achieve when we work together is so special. However, my favorite part of this trimester was living in the dorm. My trailer’s name is “Doc” and I could have never imagined how much […]

(Not) All Quiet on the English Front
This year my teachers and classes have been pushing me to achieve higher, and work harder. As a result, every success is a little sweeter. My favorite class this year is truly so hard to pick. Every teacher makes me laugh but also makes me a better student. I especially enjoy English class, which is […]
Assembly
This year is already off to a great start! Coming back after a busy summer was great, and settling back into the Thacher routine is comforting, and I am reminded how lucky I am to be in such a great place. One aspect of the Thacher life that I appreciate more than ever is the […]
Sad Goodbyes
It is so hard to believe that the end of the school year is already here. I am sure it was just yesterday when I was dropped of here on my first day of school. As sad as I am to leave this beautiful campus, I am excited about this summer. After working Thacher’s alumni […]

Although they can be stressful, it is an amazing feeling when you finish your paper, project, report, or whatever else […]
Power Tools!
What better way to welcome the new year then to bring out the power tools to build the musical set? On Sunday the crew for the play built a four-foot wooden platform for the actors to dance on. It took all afternoon, and we had fun every minute. It was a great end to our […]
Horses, Poems, and Horse Poems
Christmas is fast approaching, and the campus is buzzing with a kind of energy that warms hearts, brings communities together and puts smiles on the faces of youthful faces. Although we only had two and a half weeks from the end of Thanksgiving break and the Holiday break, the schedule never fails to keep us on […]

Thacher is beginning to feel more like my home as time passes, and my parents had a chance to truly see what an amazing place Thacher is. They were especially impressed with the sense of community. This made […]
