Faithfulness, Community, and Looking Ahead
Dear Parents and Students,
It is hard to believe we are already at Week 8, with just one more week until Fall Break! This has been a full stretch of the semester, and I am proud of the way our students have continued to grow, participate, and contribute to our Middle and Upper School community.
One of the highlights of this week was See You at the Pole. It was a special opportunity to gather together as a school community and spend time in prayer for our students, families, teachers, school, and country.
I was especially impressed with our Middle and Upper School Choir as they led us in the National Anthem. They represented TKA so well, and it was a great way to begin such a meaningful morning together.
We are also looking ahead to the next phase of our club program. Our clubs are preparing to fully launch after Fall Break, and we are excited to see students begin meeting regularly, building relationships around shared interests, and finding new opportunities to get involved in school life.
Of course, there was also a lot of excitement during House Time yesterday as we officially revealed this year’s Homecoming theme and dress-up days to our students. Judging by their reaction, I think it is safe to say they are excited!
Kinda Iconic
Celebrate Everything Iconic. Students can look forward to a full week of dress-up days, House competition, hallway decorating, games, and school spirit leading into Friday’s Homecoming activities.
Show Your Lion Pride All Week
More information will be shared in the coming weeks about the Homecoming Dance, House competitions, Friday activities, and additional schedules. Please keep an eye on school communications as Homecoming gets closer.
As we head into the final week before Fall Break, I want to encourage our students to finish this stretch well. It can be tempting to begin looking ahead to the break, but there is still important work to be done in the classroom. Stay focused, keep up with assignments, support one another, and finish strong.
Do not grow weary in doing good.
“Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”
Whether in the classroom, on the field, in rehearsal, during House Time, or simply in the way we treat one another, faithfulness in the small things matters.
Thank you, parents, for continuing to partner with us. We are grateful for another strong week and are looking forward to finishing well before Fall Break and returning ready for an exciting stretch that includes clubs, Homecoming, and much more.
Finish well. Return ready.
Thank you for continuing to support our students and partner with us as we head toward Fall Break and an exciting second-quarter stretch.
