Dear Thorp School District Families,
I hope you are all having a wonderful and relaxing summer! I am writing to share some exciting news and to let you know about the counseling plans for the upcoming school year.
I will be going on maternity leave and will be away from Thorp Schools for the first semester of this school year. I will return to my role as your school counselor on February 1st, 2027.
During my absence, the school counseling department will be in wonderful hands. Mr. Seth Wiswell will be stepping in as the long-term counselor substitute. Mr. Wiswell is eager to support our students and will be continuing all of our regular programming, including social-emotional learning classroom lessons, 1:1 student support and check-ins, lunch bunches and small groups, and other counseling resources and activities!
To ensure a smooth transition and that no messages are missed, we have set up an email address for all counseling-related inquiries.
Please use this email for all counselor communications until February 1st, 2027: counselor@thorpschools.org
I will miss the students and the Thorp community tremendously during the first half of the year, but I know Mr. Wiswell will do a fantastic job taking care of everyone. Thank you all for your continuous support, and I look forward to seeing you when I return in February!
Warmly,
Rachel Hoffman

Our kindergarten through 5th grade students were blessed by local author, Jolee Custer, today! In addition to being an author, Jolee is a kindergarten music teacher and certified Forest Therapist.
Today, Jolee read aloud "The Little Larch Who Learned He Was Magic". This was a sweet story about a little Larch named Lennon who lives among the mighty pine trees. The story is about acceptance, kindness, magical healing, forest bathing, self growth, and belonging.
After the reading, our students got to work together with Jolee to create two new story outlines where they got to come up with the characters, setting, problem, and solution. She is taking their vision and turning them into published books they helped create! How amazing is that?! Stay tuned for the opportunity to purchase your copy 🙌🏻
In the meantime, go check out her website at wildwoodmagic.org and give her instagram a follow at wildwood_magic_2026.
Her books are available for purchase on Amazon!
Thank you Jolee for taking time out of your spring break to come share the magic of reading and writing with our youngest learners!
