A defining feature of Thacher’s community is diversity. Our families come from 44 cities and towns in the Metro Boston Area and the South Shore. Not only are we from many areas around Boston but we celebrate diversity from around the world as well. Our children come from families speaking 20 different languages. Thacher parents play an important role in life at school and their community building events enhance life and friendships outside of school.
As part of school activities, parents chaperone for our ice skating program, help on field trips and share their skills with classrooms. They also volunteer in the library, greet children in the morning at drop-off, and serve on various committees at school. Outside of school parents coordinate hikes in the Blue Hills, create celebration events like the Holidays Around the World brunch, and organize the annual Thacher Pumpkin Patcher. Our parents host the annual classroom pot luck dinners and sponsor the teacher appreciation luncheon. We welcome parent participation and consider Thacher families to be an integral part of life at our school.
