 | A Note From Mr. Sandefur Lion Family, Every day I am inspired by the resilience and dedication displayed by our TKA students and staff. The journey of education is one of growth, challenges, and triumphs, and I want to encourage each of you to remain steadfast in your commitment to excellence and faith. In 1 Corinthians 15:58, the apostle Paul urges us to "be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain." This verse serves as a guiding light for us at The King's Academy, reinforcing the importance of unwavering commitment to our mission. In the midst of academic pursuits, extracurricular activities, and the daily hustle and bustle, let us not forget the bedrock of our foundation—God's Word. Remaining firmly grounded in the teachings of the Bible provides us with the strength, wisdom, and resilience needed to navigate the challenges of life. Our faith is not only an integral part of who we are as a Christian school but also a source of unwavering support and guidance. As we press on in this new semester, let us continue to prioritize time in prayer, reflection, and study of the Scriptures, ensuring that our actions and decisions align with God's will. I commend each student, teacher, and parent for the efforts invested in making the first week a success. Your commitment to academic excellence and spiritual growth is a testament to the strength of our TKA community. May we move forward with confidence, knowing that our labor, rooted in faith, is indeed not in vain. In Christ, Jeremy Sandefur
