How did your relationship with
the school change through
the process of organizing
the conference and the
conference itself?
Laura B.: I believe that what makes TFS a
great school is the community of people here.
I think that before this conference, I didn't
realize that so many people were dedicated to
this school. Seeing everyone step up to support
this conference made me see the school in a
whole new light; teachers would stop me in the
hallway to ask how they could help, Grade 6s
were some of our most dedicated volunteers,
families from all areas of our community
stepped up to take in travelling delegates.
The sense of community was unsurpassed by
anything else I've ever experienced and it truly
made me see TFS in a new way.

manner. I believe it has developed my time-
management, organizational, collaborative
and leadership skills.
What was your
proudest moment?
Nathan D.: When we were all eating dinner

and look around. He said: "Guys look at this,
everything going on tonight wouldn't have been
able to happen without us. We did this!"
