Congratulations to our pinwheel coloring champions! Emma Goins Bryor Thornton Brextyn Thornton
The Thayer Flyers kicked off their track season today with a strong showing at their first meet in Altoona, competing with great effort and determination across all events. It was exciting to see the hard work pay off early in the season, as athletes stepped up and performed at a high level. The boys team had an outstanding day, earning an impressive second-place finish overall. Proud of the energy, sportsmanship, and competitiveness our Flyers brought to the track—this is a great start to the season!
Thayer preschool enjoyed a presentation from the K-State representative on the life of a Painted Lady Butterfly. She brought in caterpillars for us to observe and release the butterflies. Thanks to the K-State extension service.
Our 8th grade class chose to help our community's recreation and put in some work this afternoon. This class has repeatedly went above and beyond in their academics, life-skills, and willingness to make their community a better place for others.
PSA - 4/8/2026 - From 8:30 am until early afternoon, the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office will be in Cherryvale training at the McKinley building.

We had a great turnout at "Breakfast with Dads" today!

Congratulations to all the students and staff who made our school play such a huge hit. Over 70% of our junior high students were involved and spent countless hours working together over the past couple months. After doing a large dinner theater last year also, they just keep pushing the standard higher.
Forms to RSVP went home with students today. Please RSVP by Tuesday, April 7th.

Parents: Classroom photos are tomorrow at Thayer Schools. Picture packets will be sent home with your child today! 8th grade class WILL NOT take classroom photos tomorrow, but at a later date.
Many of our 8th graders got the experience of mixing, pouring, and finishing a sidewalk section this afternoon for our school. They enjoyed it and did an awesome job with 24 bags! Great group of kids that excel in both academics and learning life skills.
We enjoyed hosting many of our Flyer Fan Club business sponsors today for a luncheon prepared and served by our students!
The finish of the joint Preschool field trip- science and social activities.
Clover and Willie!
Great day of making music at the Mineral Belt League Music Day at Oswego. Thayer students have been excellent leaders today showing what good citizenship, musicianship and hard work really looks like! Great job, Flyers!!
What a wonderful resource our district has in Greenbush. Both Thayer and Cherryvale preschools had a science field trip to Greenbush . The students loved the bus ride experience and were brave enough to pet some animals. Then we shared a picnic lunch at Thayer School and time on the playground, before the rides back to home or school.
Calf #2 has made an appearance at the school, just 48 hours after the other! Calf is healthy and has a great momma! Huge shoutout to Jesse, Joseph, and Scott from John Farms who assisted, as this one needed pulled. Great experience some of our junior high who got to be apart of this evening.
Our small town community partnerships give our students possibilities that wouldn't otherwise be available.
Our PreK students decided to name our new calf Clover!🍀
