Excitement is in the air at TFS. It's more than just anticipation, it's momentum. Aer years of thoughtful planning, quiet progress and a shared vision for the future, the school has entered the public phase of Can't Wait! La Campagne pour TFS and unveiled our transformative Master Campus Plan to the world. More than just a fundraising campaign, Can't Wait! is a rallying cry that reflects the energy, commitment and collective spirit of an entire communi ready to build the future together. For the first time in more than two decades, we have broken ground on new additions to our campuses—beginning with the West Campus—and the growth and expansion will benefit students for generations to come. "TFS has changed significantly since we first opened our doors 60 years ago and the world around us has changed too," says Head of School Norman Gaudet. "The world our children will inherit is moving rapidly and they need to be prepared to meet the challenges of the future. This is why we are working to build world-class spaces that will enhance learning and support our mission of educating exceptional thinkers and motivated learners." The journey to this moment began long before the official kick-off this winter. Behind the scenes, we have witnessed the tireless efforts of school leadership alongside the TFS Board of Directors and TFS Foundation Board. We saw remarkable collaboration with faculty and staff and generous support from parents, alumni and our community. Thanks to all of these stakeholders, the campaign has taken shape with clarity and purpose. The launch of Can't Wait! is a testament to all of this hard work and dedication. As our biggest and most significant public campaign to date, we are celebrating the start of the next chapter in the TFS journey. At a moving and exciting assembly in January, our community came together to experience the scope of what Can't Wait! aims to achieve: a future-ready campus where academic excellence, physical well-being and global citizenship come to life in inspiring, purpose-built spaces. Students today—and those of tomorrow—will benefit from these dynamic learning environments designed to support their growth, passion and leadership. Alumni Margaux Fraser '14, Benjamin Cardarelli '11, Justin Poy '87 and Michael Biro '80 joined Head of School Norman Gaudet to share how TFS transformed in their day and the many ways their education shaped who they are now. 15 TFS
