Living the Arts! (students ages 6-14)
This summer's drama program is dedicated to teaching children artistic expression and appreciation. Through the arts and personal creativity the children learn about themselves and the world around them. All participants learn basic introduction to the theatre, take part in set and costume design for each production, and learn the songs and movements needed for their parts. Experienced students develop their talents by working one-on-one with instructors and on projects with peers. The three week session culminates in an all-student production presented for family and friends on July 15th.

Thacher Parent Association Objective
The Thacher Parent Association is integral to the Thacher community, and all parents or guardians of children enrolled at Thacher are automatically members of the association. The TPA enriches the school community and encourages parents and guardians to participate to their utmost ability to foster a cooperative Montessori environment.  The 2009-10 TPA is led by Tripti Thomas, along with Norman and Charissa Pemper, co-presidents elect for 2010-11. Sustained by a team of parent leaders and volunteers, the TPA aims this year to deliver a fun and meaningful agenda around the objectives of (i) further strengthening the parent community, (ii) deeply enriching the children’s experience, and (iii) supporting Thacher through resources and fundraising. There are many opportunities to get involved and contribute your valued ideas, time and resources: please contact Tripti or any of the committee chairs below for more information.



Show your School Spirit! Thacher hats and t-shirts have arrived. Hats for $10 (Youth and Adult sizes) and T-Shirts for $8 (2t-Youth XL). Our gratitude to parent Bill Resnick for giving us a great deal through his print firm. Contact Norm Pemper at norm@wwdsinteractive.com for more information.
