TES Reminder: Tomorrow, June 15th, is our last day of school with an early release for students at 12:25pm. Have a great summer!
I want to give a HUGE SHOUT OUT to Nicholas Gray and Green Friends, Inc.! They did a cleanout around the school grounds and retrieved 2 shopping carts and 6 bags of debris from the trails and area behind the school.
They had an unexpected helper as well! There was a momma Snapping Turtle laying her eggs in the playground mulch. Don't worry, they called the Audubon Society about this and they explained that we should leave the eggs be, so hopefully they will stay undisturbed until the fall.

We're so proud of our TES alumni who will be walking across the big stage tomorrow night. Congratulations!
Dear Thacher Families,
THANK YOU doesn't seem like enough to describe our gratitude for the support, donations, and encouragement we have received during our Panda Pride Fun Run! Now that the Fun Run is over, we’ve calculated that we have received a DONATION PROFIT OF $29,107...and still counting! Giving will remain open for one more week, and if you would like to continue to give and share, head to MYBOOSTER.COM today.
We had so much fun during both the morning and afternoon events. Our students did amazing! The Boosterthon event staff, our TES/ELC staff, and our PTO did an incredible job creating such wonderful events on a beautiful day! We are especially grateful for YOU, our TES/ELC community, for all donations to fund enrichment programs for our students! After the afternoon event, students and staff gathered to watch the class who raised the most money, Mrs. Fernandes’s kindergarten with $3,870.95 raised, slime Thacher's Assistant Principal Mrs. Desautel! Here are a few photos from yesterday's events…more photos to come!
