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 again, dear friends!! Wow, a lot has happened since my last post. Mainly, musical, independents, and 2013! I trust that everyone had a relaxing holiday, and managed to get away for some fun! Personally, I hit up some of the ski resorts on the west side of Lake Tahoe, and had a great time. […]
Wow! I can’t believe that fall is almost over!! Looking back, I wonder exactly what I was doing. FIrst, the cross country team had its last league meet several weeks back at Cate School. As expected, we won the league, and I got a personal record of 20:10. I actually ran that race faster than […]
For Thacher students, the time between winter and spring break can seem to go on forever, while some view this as a horrible affair, the majority of the school views this as the perfect opportunity to enjoy the time we have at Thacher.

It’s the last night here in the dorm for 2011! A few friends and I threw a small party for Amy after check-in and it was a very joyous event. It’s definitely these smaller intimate events that make the Thacher experience that much more special. We toasted to Amy’s 17th birthday as well as […]
My roommate and I have started a tradition of changing our room around every holiday. Yesterday being a holiday we set to work moving beds, desks, and lamps to find a new set-up for our room. It’s hard with lots of stuff to fit in, but it’s really fun to have a new set-up. Our […]
Nothing is better than a good holiday, even one you see coming. Although I may have ignored the piles of homework waiting on my desk, this holiday was one of the best I’ve spent. A great dance and some midnight guacamole followed by waffles and bacon in town and a trip to the pool all […]
Not too long ago, Mr. Mulligan granted us our first holiday of the year. That Tuesday morning, I woke up around ten but stayed under my covers to enjoy the warmth of the sunshine. I caught the town bus at eleven with my friend Sarah. We had no specific plan or goal, except to fill […]
