| Thorne
is a pretty busy place. The best way to stay connected and
make new friends is to get involved in the many activities
that happen during the year. Pay attention to the morning
announcements and the Thorne News so you'll be "In The
Know". |

Be part of the group that makes things happen at
Thorne. Our students have planned many of the fun activities
that happen all year. All
of our dances are held in the cafeteria. Some are right after school and others are in the evening.
