Dear Thacher Families:
As a reminder, there is no school Monday in observance of Columbus Day.
Below is a plug for some help figuring out what Ms. Desautel and I should be for Halloween. We hope you all participate!
Sincerely,
Frank W. Rich
Principal
TES October Family Activity
**Please return by October 20th**
Students can give their completed activity to their classroom teacher to give to Mr. Rich and Mrs. Desautel.
Halloween is just a few weeks away! Our principal, Mr. Rich, and assistant principal, Mrs. Desautel, need help deciding on Halloween costumes!
Can you help them design their costume? Print a copy of the below TES October Family Activity file and decorate! You can use newspaper/magazine clippings, glitter, crayons, markers, etc., or anything that will help your idea come to life! Mr. Rich and Mrs. Desautel will look over all the entries and each will pick a winner from the ideas they receive.
The winning ideas will receive a small prize AND Mr. Rich and Mrs. Desautel will wear their winning idea for Fall Spirit Day on October 31st!
r If your family needs a printed copy of the sheets below, email sdesautel@attleboroschools.com to request one. Please include your student’s name/grade/class in the email request.
Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

This Week in PE
Students have been off to a fantastic start this school year. Rules and routines have been taught and reestablished. During the month of September students participated in team building activities in which they had to work together to accomplish a goal. These activities included teamwork, sportsmanship, leadership roles, and positive communication. Most importantly the students had fun while doing it!
For grades 3-4 this week began the first annual Thacher Hall of Fame Olympics. These events take place outside and we couldn’t be happier with the weather this week. There are multiple events students participate in and try to set personal best scores. We now have an Olympic wall posted down by the gym which students are very excited about seeing.
If you ever have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out at anytime!
Mr. Ryan Henry Rhenry@attleboroschools.com
