| A Note From Mr. Sandefur Lion Family, As we approach the conclusion of another remarkable school year, I am filled with gratitude and excitement for all that we have accomplished together. This year has been filled with triumphs, challenges, and countless moments of growth and learning. From academic achievements to extracurricular successes, each milestone has been a testament to the dedication, resilience, and spirit of our TKA family. As we embark on the final weeks of the school year, I invite you to join me in lifting up our seniors in prayer. These remarkable students are preparing to take their next steps beyond the walls of TKA, and as they transition into alumni, let us pray for God's guidance and light to shine brightly upon them. May they carry the values, principles, and faith instilled in them during their time at TKA and be beacons of hope and inspiration in their communities and around the world. As we celebrate the achievements of our seniors and the close of another school year, let us also reflect on the journey that has brought us to this moment. Together, let us give thanks for the blessings of friendship, growth, and transformation that have defined our TKA experience. As we look ahead to the future with anticipation and excitement, may we continue to uphold our mission of nurturing and empowering students to make a positive impact on the world.
