Principal's Message

Dear Families,

As we move further into the school year, it’s been wonderful to see the continued growth and enthusiasm from our students throughout the building. Classrooms have been busy with engaging lessons, collaborative projects, and opportunities for students to challenge themselves and support one another. This time of year is always exciting as we begin to see just how much progress our students have made since the fall. Thank you to our families for your continued support and partnership—it truly makes a difference in helping our students succeed each day.

Warm regards,

Frank Rich, Principal

From the Art Room

Dear Thacher Families,

🌈March is a wonderful time in the art room! As the days get brighter and Spring gets closer, our young artists are exploring new materials, practicing creative thinking, and learning how artists express ideas, feelings, and stories through their work.  It's been a joyful and colorful month of creativity!

🎨Students In grades K-4 continue building important art skills such as; observing details, experimenting with different materials, developing creativity and imagination, talking and writing about their artwork, and learning about famous artists and artistic styles.

🖌Art class is also a place where students practice patience, problem-solving, and confidence as they bring their ideas to life.

🌷As we move toward Spring, students will begin exploring nature in art.  We'll also continue celebrating student creativity and sharing artwork throughout our school.

🎨Thank you for supporting your young artists!  The creativity, imagination, and joy students bring to the art room every week truly make it a special place.

Warmly,

Ms. Maglione

K-4 Art Teacher
