Tri-Valley League would like to share a statement to all coaches, players, and fans.


We would like to officially welcome Mrs. O'Brien to Thayer Schools!
I am so excited to join the Thayer education team as the Preschool Teacher. It is a wonderful opportunity to help start such an important program for your community. I have been in the education profession for over 25 years and have experience with Head Start, kindergarten, and preschool. It is so important to get students on a solid foundation in their education journey. All students should have the opportunity to learn and experience life.
I live in rural Cherryvale and am married to Ron O'Brien. We have three adult boys who are alumni of 447's Charger Nation. We enjoy our seven grandchildren and the activities in the farming industry. My hobbies include cooking and traveling with our family, sewing, and crocheting.
I am looking forward to meeting my students and others in this nice small community and continue my work in the USD 447 district. Go Flyers!
