&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Kindergarten is a year of firsts and growing independence. At 麻豆直播, the kindergarten teachers work together to make those first steps a positive experience for students and families. They are the first faces our little ones see when they come to the TFS campus.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;For middle school students, some of the most important moments on a team have little to do with the final score. These moments happen in the car ride home from a game, during practice when teammates encourage each other through a tough drill, or even after a loss. They can happen when a new student finds a place to belong, when a player learns to trust their teammates, or when an athlete gets knocked down but gets up and tries again. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Installed in November 2025, this new feature provides a pivotal focal point for students, faculty, and parents each morning as we gather as a school family.

His example reminds us that holiness isn鈥檛 reserved for the leaders or found in extraordinary moments. It can be part of the way we love God and serve others each day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
