Hello Everyone, Last weekend was the Thacher winter musical, Spamalot. The actors had so much energy and enthusiasm, which really pulled the audience in to the show. It was clear that everyone enjoyed the performance; many people even attended both showings! My favorite scene was the opening scene, where everyone sang ‘Finland, Finland…’ In the […]
Hello, Everyone! Merry 2013! Now that it is the New Year, my attention has turned to goals for the next trimester. One of my goals is to continue supporting my JV soccer team. So far, as our coach will very eagerly tell you, we are undefeated (we have only had three games, however!). Soccer this […]
Hello again, This fall has been very busy and productive, but also very joyful. One thing I love doing at Thacher is giving tours to prospective families and students. I know not everyone shares my passion for this activity, but I love finding out about these new people and introducing them to Thacher. It also […]
Hello! Today is a very unusual type of day for Ojai: gray and misty. This weekend has been quiet, but very relaxing. Yesterday all juniors and sophomores took the PSAT. Today I have some studying to do for my constitution exam on Tuesday. This exam is an essential Thacher ritual for all juniors, who all […]
Hello again, This trimester, my afternoon activity is dance class. Before about four weeks ago, I hadn’t danced since I was five and going through the inevitable ballet obsession of any five year old girl. One thing about dance is that it is hard work!

Junior year is here. So far, it is even better than sophomore year. It is nice to have more freedom and even nicer not to be new ( I was a new sophomore last year). To start off the year, I went on an EDT (extra day trip) to Santa Cruz, up near San Francisco. […]
I truly cannot believe that this very day is my last day of classes as a sophomore. Next week is exams, then camping, and then we’re off on our ways home… How did this happen!?! I still vividly remember my first day of freshman year (at a different school), and now I am half-way through […]
I cannot believe we are inside of five weeks to the end of the year! This year has literally flown by. I still feel like it was just yesterday I lugged my bags into my white, empty room. Now my room is crammed full of photos, letters, every color imaginable… I have had a great […]
So… track season has commenced! At first, I had no idea what sport I would do for the rapidly approaching spring trimester. My plan to ride had fallen through due to a shortage of horses… I had never played any of the remaining sports, but I decided to give track a try. Despite the […]
Once a trimester, Thacher students are awarded a long-awaited break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Everyone pauses to take a breath and look around. Besides the gleeful anticipation, one of the best parts of the holiday is the announcement itself. This time around, the announcement came during a Head’s Invite. All of […]
