In honor of In memory on Alyssa Tafti- may she always bring shame for those who don’t donate

I thought of not giving this year. But it would be much more to pay for the therapy needed from the shame that my dear classmate Alyssa Tafti would bring upon me. So this is really, really cheap therapy.

In honor of Alex Wilson

My husband Morgan and I are donating more than we initially intended after hearing the tragic news this week. We support Thacher fully and grieve for the community's loss. Thank you, Jeff Hooper and team, for your leadership and caring response. The school will always be in my heart, and and its values will always be my foundation. Note: half this gift comes from Morgan Smith CdeP '85, so the class of 1985 should get credit for another donor also and be credited with half this amount :-)

Alissa Tafti inspired me

Thank you to all of the dedicated and talented teachers at Thacher!
