Thacher is definitely telling me it is Spring. Warmer weather with an average of 70 F, there are orange blossoms blooming everywhere and bees flying around them (with the help of our new bee hive at Carp.). Our pool is starting to fill up with people during the weekends, and more people are just simply outside, basking more »

Ready to Ballbirl
This weekend was the annual Ojai Tennis Tournament. College teams across California play one another and Thacher sophomores “ballbirl” or help out in other ways for the tournament. Fetching balls and watching some edge-of-your-seat tennis are traditions as old as time and a rite of passage for sophomores. Other than being a longstanding ritual, it’s more »
Weekend Activites: From Pentatonix to Diamond Hitch
This weekend has been so exciting for students on the Thacher campus! The Ojai Tennis Tournament was going on throughout Ojai and on campus, but other activities went on as well.

I made my friend come running with me. His shoes kick up the dust ahead of me. I quicken my stride as I more »
Full Circle
Yesterday, I was walking up from my house to Thacher on a warm spring evening, around 6:30. The sun was beginning to go down, and the Ojai Valley was coated in a soft orange color that matched the blooming orange blossoms that make the valley so famous. It is the spring of my junior year, more »
Spring at Thacher
Although only two weeks in, these two weeks have been flying by and I feel like that’s how the rest of this trimester will go. English presentations on Romeo and Juliet, history essays about the Enlightenment period, and even more is happening in a rapid quick fire; it’s amazing how much has happened and how much more »
Weather Report
Just before Spring Break, it snowed in Ojai! The last time I saw snow actually “snowing” in California was ten years ago (I was in the first grade). The weather was highly deceptive: it was sunny in the morning and we even had a blue more »
