 | A Note From Mr. Sandefur Lion Family, Summertime is officially here, and I hope that each and every one of you is enjoying the beginning of what I pray is a beautiful summer. I am truly thankful for each and every one of our partners here at The King’s Academy and your faithfulness as we seek to develop servant leaders who will change the world for Christ. As we enter this time of preparation on campus, we are excited about several projects that are underway to improve the school experience for all stakeholders. Projects include but are not limited to Woody Auditorium facelift, the installation of a new electronic sign at the Boyd’s Creek entrance, multiple painting and repair projects, and a few other necessary maintenance projects. I wanted to let you know that this will be the only newsletter sent this month; however special notices will be sent out periodically regarding new hires, etc. Our weekly newsletters will resume during the month of July as we prepare for the upcoming school year. In this newsletter you will find important dates and information to be aware of, so please take some time and familiarize yourself with the contents. In Christ Alone, Jeremy Sandefur
