Dear Thacher Families:

The kickoff of our Boosterthon fundraiser has exceeded our Wildest Dreams! Thank you to all the families who have already donated. Assuming the forecast doesn't change to Midnight Rain, next Friday looks to be a great day...I can't wait, it's gonna be The Best Day!

Ms. Frank's 4th grade class put up a good fight but the Anti-Hero staff edged them out in today's Staff vs. Student kickball game. Hopefully there's no Bad Blood between them and the 4th graders can Shake It Off (the loss) over the weekend. Thank you to Mr. Rendell, Mr. Henry and Ms. Marcotte for organizing. We even had a special guest appearance by Mr. Howland who reminded us that It's Nice to Have a Friend!

Sincerely,

Frank W. Rich

Principal

Walk 2 School Day:

HUGE Success! Thank you to everyone that participated and especially to our Attleboro Police Department and the Mass DOT. It was so nice seeing everyone “walking” to school with smiles on their faces and full of laughter. What a perfect way to start our day!

Kickball:

Our school year is winding down and the P.E. department is ramping up!! We just finished our kickball unit and our annual 4th grade kickball tournament. VERY exciting! Mrs. Frank’s 4th grade class barely beat out Ms. Marcotte’s in their final game. Mrs. Franks class will move on to play (lose) against the teachers. 🙂
