Letter from the Head of School

September 9, 2016

Dear Thacher Community,
 
A warm welcome to the 2016-17 school year to all our families, particularly our new students and their parents. And a special welcome to a number of new staff members and returning staff members in new positions.
 
Over the next few weeks, we will be inviting all students to write or draw on a colored banner one or two things they would like to learn about this year. Of course, for the toddlers, we translate that question into, "What in the classroom do you like working with?" We will be inviting AP and UE students to new levels of leadership as they help younger students create their banners. In early October, we will hang the banners across the library atrium, raising students' learning hopes high. For parents of older children, I urge you to take the time in the opening days to ask your child what he/she would like to learn about this year
 
Robert Haas, the former poet laureate of the United States, once said, "Education is the business of hope." Time to get down to Thacher's business with children and families this year!
 
Best,
