Used Gym Clothes

We are still accepting used gym clothes for our Spring Sale. Please turn in any clothes to the school office and they will make sure the PTA gets your donation. The clothes will be sold on April 1st during report card pick up times. The sale will be the same as the fall... cash only, first come, first served. Thanks for supporting the PTA and recycling your unwanted gym clothes!

Reflections entries advance to state level!

Congratulations to the eight students from Thorp that are moving on in the Reflections program! Their entries will be a part of the Illinois PTA Reflections Traveling Exhibit for one year. A list of locations will be available for the exhibit on the Illinois PTA website http://www.illinoispta.org/ throughout the year.
