Dear Thoreau Families,
As we approach the end of the school year, I want to thank our students, staff, and families for their hard work, dedication, and support. We look forward to recognizing many of our students at next week's grade-level awards ceremonies and celebrating their achievements. Invitations have been sent to the families of students being recognized.
Congratulations to our Track & Field athletes who competed at the County Championship Meet last weekend, and to all of our student-athletes for their commitment throughout the season. We also congratulate our Band, Orchestra, and Choir students on their wonderful performances this week.
We hope you'll join us this weekend for our spring musical, All Shook Up, as we celebrate the incredible talents of our students and staff. Thank you for your continued partnership as we finish the year strong!
Sincerely,
Teresa Khuluki
Principal
