Dear Families,
We hope everyone enjoyed their day off today! Our teachers had a wonderful opportunity to meet with Kindergarten teams from across the district to discuss our incoming Kindergarten students — it's always an incredible experience to come together and collaborate.
The Boosterthon is in full effect! 🎉 All money raised through the Fun Run will go directly toward enrichments (such as Sarah Joy, the Bubble Lady) and playground materials for our students — so every bit counts! Please make sure you have set up a profile for your students if you haven't already. Check out the lanyard they brought home this week for all the details on how to get started!
Looking ahead, next Friday, May 22nd is our Fun Run event! If the weather cooperates and we have sunshine, families are welcome to join us and cheer on their students as they complete their run in the Big Gym. Family members can enter through the back of the gym. In the event of rain, we will relocate to the Small Gym — please note that due to space limitations, parents would not be able to attend in that case.
We'll keep you posted as the day approaches. Fingers crossed for sunshine! ☀️ Enjoy the anticipated summer weather this weekend!
Frank Rich, Principal
Meghan Thomson, Assistant Principal

Our Thacher and ELC Panda Pride Fun Run is Here!
Thacher Elementary School & ELC Families,
It’s time to rally together for our Thacher and ELC Panda Pride Fun Run fundraiser! Our goal is to raise $30,000 for field trips, enrichment, and recess/ playground upgrades, which will enhance our school’s resources and provide our students with an even better educational experience.
To make things even more exciting, if we raise $30,000, we will silly string our Principal, Mr. Rich!
We are encouraging you to…
1️⃣ Sign up at MyBooster.com and join the fun.
2️⃣ Share your fundraising page with friends and family.
3️⃣ Donate if you are able.
Thank you for your support!
