A Note From Mr. Sandefur

Lion Family,

It is hard to imagine that the campus is becoming alive with new blooms and blossoms everywhere as we transition into a new season. Spring is always a reminder of renewal as we witness new birth coming from what has gone before it. This season is a perfect picture of where we are as a school. Our enrollment, academic trends/achievements, and sweet spirit are examples of new growth that are budding and are reflecting the greatness of our Creator.

I would like to personally thank Crystal Pugh and the PTF leadership team who worked so diligently for our 2nd annual Love Gala. It was a wonderful evening of great support for TKA, with all financial resources going to the betterment of our students and The Academy.

Finally, I would like to personally congratulate our Lady Lions Varsity Basketball team for qualifying for the State Final Four which will be held in Cookeville tomorrow. Please consider joining me in Cookeville as we support our Lady Lions!

Jeremy Sandefur
President/Head of School
