 | A Note From Mr. Sandefur Lion Family, I trust you all had a restful and enjoyable fall break, and I extend a warm welcome as we dive back into the school routine. October is upon us, and with it comes the anticipation of cooler days, colorful leaves, and the many exciting events and opportunities that a new season brings. This newsletter marks our first week back from fall break, and it carries a special significance for me personally, having recently returned from an incredible journey to Asia. Over the past three weeks, I had the privilege of traveling to Asia with a dedicated team of TKA staff members. Our mission was to reach out to students and families, sharing the unique educational experience and the exceptional values that define The King's Academy. This extraordinary trip allowed us to forge connections and build partnerships with students and their families across the globe, expanding our TKA family in ways that only serve to enrich the tapestry of our community. As we embark on this post-fall break period, I'm filled with gratitude for the many wonderful things happening at TKA. We are continually inspired by our students' dedication and enthusiasm, the remarkable commitment of our faculty and staff, and the unwavering support of families like yours. This newsletter is a testament to the vibrant, thriving community we are building together, and I look forward to the exciting times ahead as we continue our collective journey toward excellence. Wishing you all a fantastic 2nd Quarter, filled with moments of joy and growth. Thank you for being part of our remarkable TKA family. In Christ, Jeremy Sandefur
