RETROSPECTIVE
Years from now, our children will look back and think about us in our moment in history and what we chose to do in this time. Be someone who future Thayer tigers will be proud of; someone who will make those future students say, 'look at the work they put in to make my life here at school better.' Be kind, be inclusive, be actively antiracist. Wear a mask, social distance so that we can continue to come to school, and keep each other safe. Let our current situation teach you the value that each day holds, and, finally, be well. Take care of yourself and others, lift each other up, and be your best self.
AN ALL-TOO-FAMILIAR SITE: REMOTE CLASSES VIA ZOOM
DREW BENNETT '21, STUDENT GOVERNMENT PRESIDENT DURING HIS CONVOCATION ADDRESS, SEPT 2020
Though obviously in-person learning is the ideal, the remote days have given students and teachers alike more freedom during the work day - everyone saves time and gains some sleep if they’re not commuting. There’s more time for extra help. Zoom is a really useful tool for hosting meetings. I hope we figure out a way to keep some remote days in our repertoire once things return to normal. - ALLYNN LODGE UPPER SCHOOL FACULTY
