Greetings Thacher Families, both New and Returning!

We would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the Thacher Parent Association.

We are looking for people to help us with a variety of programs and committees, all of which are designed to promote the wonderful community at Thacher. From showing off your cultural heritage at the Around-the-World Holiday Brunch, pitching in to pull weeds and plant flowers on the school grounds, carpooling, tying ice skates, flipping pancakes at the Pancake Breakfast, or just coming to the meetings to brainstorm and find new ways of making sure we can have a great environment for our kids to grow in.

We understand that in today's world it is increasingly difficult to find time to participate, but that only makes the need greater. Whatever your time schedule and interests, we need you. Even if it is just to come out, play Frisbee, fly a kite, and support the school at one of our picnics.

We will be launching a website soon just for the TPA where you can find out information about upcoming meetings, various committees, and how you can help. We hope that you will take advantage of this and make the upcoming school year sensational!
