At TFS, Catholic Social Teaching (CST) is more than something we teach; it’s something we live.
Throughout the year, our faculty and students explore the themes of CST through meaningful discussions, service opportunities, and experiences that connect our Catholic faith to the world around us.

By intentionally weaving CST into the life of our school, we help students grow not only academically, but also as people of faith. They develop a deeper understanding of their responsibility to others and what it means to lead with compassion, dignity, service, and care for our common home.

These teachings aren’t incidental. They are intentional, visible, and actively practiced in our school community.

Give Old Uniforms a New Life!

The Laudato Si Action Plan (LSAP) Committee has secured a vendor to recycle school uniforms that have an old logo or are too worn to be reused. Instead of throwing them away, these uniforms will be recycled into a new product!

👕 Have uniforms to recycle?
Bring them to our next Uniform Collection, November 2–6, and the LSAP Committee will take care of the rest.

This is a great way to keep worn-out uniforms out of the landfill and support our commitment to caring for our common home.

Questions? Contact Karin Kuropas at [email protected].

📚 Learning Through Stories and Experiences!

Today, our 4th grade ELA students enjoyed a special collaboration with Mrs. McCann from the media center! Students explored food memories, practiced writing dialogue, and heard about Mrs. McCann’s experiences in Hong Kong.

She even brought chopsticks for students to try, inspiring them to use sensory details as they wrote about their texture and sound.

Such a fun and creative way to bring writing to life through shared experiences, culture, and curiosity!

At the heart of The Franciscan School courtyard stands a powerful reminder of who we are and what guides us.

Installed in November 2025, the San Damiano Cross now serves as a beautiful focal point for Morning Prayer and a lasting symbol of our Franciscan identity, faith, and call to live a life centered on Christ.

Discover the story behind this stunning addition to our campus, its connection to St. Francis, and how it came to have a permanent home at TFS.

📝 Claim or statement? Let the competition begin!

Our 8th grade ELA students are sharpening their argument-writing skills with a little friendly competition! Before they can craft a strong thesis statement, they first need to know how to identify a claim.

Students put their skills to the test with a Claim vs. Statement Sort, and when everyone walks away a stronger writer, everyone wins!
