When these kiddos heard that a staff member's father recently lost his vision, they jumped into action.
In the words of Mrs. Wirtz, "As someone who has always loved to cook, he had been struggling to identify his spices with the recent vision loss. With the help of Mr. Ellsworth and Garrett, Cameron and Aio used the design programs they’ve been learning in class to create 3D printed tactile labels for a set of spice jars.
They truly went above and beyond, researching Braille standards to ensure the spacing and sizing was accurate. The finished product turned out SO cool!"

Our Thorp Tigers Boys Basketball team show up! They have heart and so much grit. They spent 2 days of their winter break to travel 4 hours, play a game, sleep on the gym floor, and play another game! They had fun touring a local museum and hanging out at the ocean at Washaway Beach. They fought hard, kept a good attitude, and showed sportsmanship and honor. They were kind, grateful, funny and selfless. We’re so proud of these boys!
