A Note From Mr. Sandefur

Lion Family,

Today we had the honor of dedicating the J.T. Shen Science Center with the help of donors, students, and friends of TKA. Today's dedication marks the beginning of the process to establish this exciting addition to our campus. The demolition process for Phase I is scheduled in the weeks ahead as we put this project in motion. We are grateful for all who have given to this project and are looking for further support to make this dream a reality. If you are interested in assisting in this project, please contact Tyler Rhoton or Jared Cartee in the Development office.

As we quickly approach the end of the quarter and Fall Break, I want to encourage all of our students and stakeholders to work diligently and to treat each other with lovingkindness. The best part of TKA is our people and we want to make sure that we are striving together to see the Lord glorified in all that occurs on campus. I am so proud of the hard work of our students, both in and out of the classroom, and desire to see them achieve their goals through the training they receive on a daily basis.

In Christ Alone,

Jeremy Sandefur
President/Head of School

TKA Elementary Grandparents’ Day

Friday, September 23

We are grateful for our TKA Grandparents!

Grandparents play a very influential role in the lives of our TKA students. We see you at events throughout the school year, at the lunch table with your grandchild and their peers, and at morning drop off as you hug your little lion goodbye. We are very blessed for the incredible amount of support and encouragement that you give to TKA and all our endeavors.

A gift that is invaluable is the time, love, encouragement, and support that you provide daily to your little lion(s). We can’t wait to celebrate YOU on Friday! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your dedication to your priceless treasure, your grandchild(ren), and the support you provide them here at TKA.

We have planned a morning making memories with you on Friday with time for fellowship, classroom activities, a token of our appreciation, and a special chapel program.

TKA Grandparents, We Love And Appreciate You!

We will see you soon!
