Dear Thacher/ELC Families,

As we head into this exciting time of year, we’re thrilled to share our 12 Days of Winter Spirit Days flyer! As a PreK–4 community, we know how much our students love the joy, imagination, and celebration that come with the winter season. These themed days are meant to bring smiles, spark creativity, and build a sense of togetherness across our school.

We also want to reassure everyone that participation is completely optional. Families can join in on as many—or as few—days as they’d like. There is no expectation to participate every day, and no need to purchase anything new. Simple, fun, and spirited is exactly what we’re aiming for.

Our goal is to lean into the magic of the season in a way that feels light, inclusive, and joyful for all students and staff. We hope these small moments of celebration add a little extra sparkle to the school days leading up to winter break.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We can’t wait to make these next couple of weeks special for our amazing students!

Dear Families,

I need to send a quick correction to my previous message about our return from Thanksgiving Break.

I mistakenly wrote that classes would resume on Monday, December 2nd. The correct date is Monday, December 1st.

I apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

We hope you're enjoying this time with your loved ones, and we look forward to welcoming students back on Monday, December 1st.

Warm regards, Frank Rich, Principal
