Dear Thacher Families,

It was an absolutely incredible day for our Boosterthon Fun Run! A big shouout to Katy Cat and her team who had everyone laughing, smiling, dancing and of course, RUNNING! The biggest shoutout of all has to go to our TES/ELC families who helped us raise just over $30,000 which we can use to help fun field trips and other enrichment events. In a time where we know every penny counts, we cannot thank you enough for your generosity.

Please peruse the photo album from our amazing Fun Run.

We hope you have a great long weekend and take a moment to remember the members of the armed forces who made the ulitmate sacrifice for our country.

Sincerely,

Mr. Rich, Principal

Warm weather Tips

Protect from heat: Never leave children unattended in the car even if the window is cracked open.

Dress for the weather: The children should dress in protective clothing that is cool and comfortable. Keep in mind, students do go outside for recess and there is limited shade. Encourage your child to wear hats with brims and sunglasses.

Reduce your risk of sun exposure: Reduce your risk: limit outdoor time between 10am-4pm when the sun’s rays are strongest; apply sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher in the morning before school.

Protect against Poison Ivy, Oak, and Sumac: Children should wear appropriate clothing to protect skin exposure to poison ivy, especially in wooded or grassy areas. Showering after being outdoors is also a good practice to prevent irritation. Over-the-counter medications can provide relief from minor symptoms. But when the rash affects the face or eyes, contact your doctor.

Stay hydrated: Proper hydration is essential for good health in warm weather as the body works to regulate temperature. Please encourage your child to have a full glass of water with breakfast and provide a water bottle for your child each day. Be sure to wash reusable water bottles daily.

Protect against bug bites: Ticks and mosquitoes can spread vector-borne infections such as Lyme disease and West Nile virus. Reduce your risk: wear long sleeves and pants; use mosquito repellant on exposed skin and clothing when mosquitoes are active; check your body for ticks after spending the day in wooded or tall grassy areas; if you find a tick, remove it with tweezers and disinfect the area.

Protect against injuries: Protect against concussions and head injuries by making sure your child wears a helmet when riding their bikes and scooters and using skateboards and roller skates. Make sure your child is monitored at all times when riding in places where there is traffic.

be kind and be well,
