Message from Mrs. Sarah Donovan, Director of The Extended Educational Programs

The hustle and bustle of the fall season is upon us and the events are lining up! On Thursday, TFA’s Preschool is hosting their Community Helper Day. Firefighters, dental hygienist, and police officers will make a special appearance for our littlest Royals. It is also a very special day for a select group of The Classical School and TFA 5-Day students. The Upper School National Honor Society induction is taking place and we are bursting with Royals pride for these students. The National Honor Society (NHS) is the nation’s premier organization established to recognize outstanding high school students. More than just an honor roll, NHS serves to recognize students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. And we will wrap up this week with the TCS/TFH Homecoming float building event on Saturday. Keep those calendars close and get your Royals flare ready- homecoming season is officially here!

Message from Mrs. Grayson Merritt, Principal of the Preschool

This morning our school family  got to share in a very special time with our 3-year old classes.  Today we joined the nation in celebrating “See You At The Pole”.  We gathered together around our flag pole and talked about both the American and Christian Flag.  We prayed together for our school, our friends and our leadership.  We sang “Jesus Loves Me” and “He’s Got The Whole World In His Hands”.  It was such a simple time together but I know God was smiling!  We are blessed to be a Christian school and to be able to share this time together each morning where we can freely pray and sing about our faith.
