 | | Lions Weekly: April 13, 2022 | A Note From Mr. Sandefur Lion Family, As we observe and celebrate Passion Week, our deepest desire is that our students see Christ in action throughout campus this and every week. While this year has been full of numbers for me, numbers regarding the budget, numbers of new students, numbers of snow days, etc., the one number that is most important to me is twenty-five. As of last week, twenty-five of our students, whom we are aware of, have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. The decisions that these students have made are what drives all that we do here at The King’s Academy. While we aim for academic excellence, high achievements in the arenas of competition, and much more, the true reason that we are here is to develop servant leaders who will change the world for Christ. I ask that as you celebrate Easter this weekend, we not lose sight of the depth of Christ’s love and sacrifice for each and every one of us. I pray that our families will have and make time to rest in His love this weekend. In Christ Alone, Jeremy Sandefur
