I hope you enjoyed the video above. As I walked the campus yesterday, I was reminded of why the start of a new school year is so magical. I watched as old friends reunited, new students & families were welcomed into the TFA community, and teachers found exciting ways to engage with students. It was amazing to watch as everyone embraced the school year theme, Built 2 Last, based on Matthew 7:24-25. As I think about the year ahead, I am excited to see how that theme is woven into all that we do, including the many special events.

Below I have listed some of the most important highlighted events that take place between now and the end of the 2nd Quarter. I hope that you will mark your calendars and plan to attend as many of these events as you can, I look forward to seeing you there!
