Where in the world has the TLS f***y pack been?

Over the summer, our TLS f***y packs took quite a few trips of their own. Gifted by parents and the PGA at the end of last school year, these trusty travel companions joined adventures near and far. Take a look at where they popped up this summer!

Now back on campus, our teachers (and their f***y packs) are getting ready to welcome students on September 2. We can't wait for another great year at TLS!

What club, activity or affinity group do you hope to join or help start at your new school and why?
Pie day because it is a really cool tradition where you can practice important skills (memorization and pie shoving), and connect not only with your friends, but your teachers too. All in all, it is an extremely fun event that can become my next school's tradition as well.
