Chanukah (December 7 - December 15) is the Jewish tradition known as the Eight day Celebration of Lights.
Library will be closed during school hours and after school on Monday, December 11th. However, the Tech Department will be available if you need tech support. The library will be open before school and will resume regular hours for the rest of the week. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Reminder: Adopt A Family unwrapped gifts are due December 11th. We are still in need of some gifts. Please email Mrs. Martin at Maryann.martin@thorntonacademy.org if you are interested in purchasing a gift that is still needed.
Please include a note taped on with the family number and the child you shopped for. Example: Family #12, Child 1. That way, we can ensure each donation gets to the correct child/family. Gifts should be dropped off:
Freshman - SB202 with Ms. Farris or Mrs. Martin in Counseling.
Sophomores - MB010 to Mrs. Colpritt or EB 6 or Mrs. Carrier.
Juniors - LB104 to Mrs. Helgesen (same building as the library, first floor, second door on the right).
Seniors - Counseling Office to Mrs. Martin.
Thank you for your generosity and your kindness throughout the year!
