MESSAGE FROM THE TFS FOUNDATION PRESIDENT AND TFS FOUNDATION BOARD CHAIR Sunny Lowe Chair, TFS Foundation Board of Directors Présidente du Conseil d'administration de la Fondation TFS Cathy Yanosik President, TFS Foundation Présidente de la Fondation TFS Dear friends, is year has truly showcased the energy and esprit de corps that sets TFS apart—a vibrant place where our communi comes together to create the future of our school and where the dedication of families, friends and educators to nurturing thoughtful individuals and engaged citizens continues to grow and reach new heights. In the 2024-2025 school year, we entered the public phase of Can't Wait! La Campagne pour TFS and reached multiple milestones that promise to transform student life and education at the school. The campaign is bringing to life the most ambitious expansion of our campus in over two decades and creating more opportunities for promising students to access TFS. We are proud to share that, thanks to the tremendous generosity of our community, we raised a record-breaking $8 million this year, bringing our campaign total to $31 million, equivalent to 77.5% of our $40 million goal. Contributing to this year's success were three new Catalyst donors, families making commitments of $1 million or more prior to the public campaign launch, fuelling our momentum and inspiring others to join. TFS families also gave at record levels during registration for a total of $1.47 million with an average gift of $2,739. As you've read in the preceding pages, construction is already underway at our West Campus, with the new Athletic Wing and Design Studio scheduled to open in 2026, a year that will also see the start of construction for L'Atelier on our Toronto campus. The TFS Foundation also had the privilege of granting funding to several projects this year thanks to gifts to the TFS Priorities Fund, including support for Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Justice (EDIJ) initiatives like the Black Excellence Conference, a new STEAM Lab in the Junior School and a Zen Room in La p'tite école. Our deepest gratitude to the dedicated members of the TFS Foundation Board and the TFS Board of Directors, generous supporters, leaders in our community and volunteers who have helped bring the vision for the future into the present. Your commitment, leadership and guidance have been instrumental in every small step and the big leap forward. As we turn the page on what has been nothing short of a landmark year, we wholeheartedly Can't Wait! for the next chapter! 72 ENTRE NOUS
