The Tennessee High School State Mock Trial competition, sponsored by the Tennessee Bar, strives to give students a more complete understanding of the American justice system. Through role-playing, students develop an awareness and appreciation for litigation. This year, students acted as the prosecution and defense for a criminal aggravated robbery case. The competition is an intense two-day event where each team participates in a minimum of four rounds presided upon by real sitting judges.

“The mock trial was a realistic learning experience and was a lot of fun,” comments Senior Chelsea Tolliver. “Next year we are vying for the number one spot,“ adds Junior Trey Kirkland.

Several students plan to choose a career in law based upon their experiences with Mock Trial and the Advanced Law class at CAK. “It takes confi dence and poise to be in a courtroom environment,” says coach and teacher Mary Helen Story. “The students practiced for weeks during class, after school, and on weekends. I was very proud of this team’s performance.” The CAK team placed fi fth in a very competitive Knox County district.

Student Author to Donate BookProceeds to CAKIn 2007, Rachel Helton (then a freshman at CAK’s High School) accomplished a goal as a young teenager that many adults spend their entire lives striving for. Rachel became a published author. The book, a Bible study for young girls, was entitled “Tween Girls for Christ.”

Now two years and many copies later, Rachel’s book is due for a second printing. 100% of the proceeds from the second edition will be given to CAK’s Tuition Assistance fund.

“Tweens for Christ II” is available now. You may purchase the book at Cedar Springs Christian Stores for $14.95.

CAK Middle School

Cheerleaders Win

Big at CompetitionAfter fi nishing their season cheering

on the Warriors in football and

basketball, CAK’s Middle School

cheerleaders headed to competi-

tion themselves, participating

in the Athletic Championships’

National Championship Series.

The competition was held right

here in Knoxville the fi rst week-

end in March. The CAK girls won

fi rst place in the Middle School

division, and much to everyone’s

surprise and excitement, were also

awarded “Grand Champions” of

the entire competition, overtaking

competitors of all levels, includ-

ing high school squads. “The girls

were thrilled,” says Coach Gina

Grubbs. “What a way to end an

incredible season!”

CAK “Mom Talk” What better place for Knoxville

moms to gather parenting advice

than on a local website created

just for them? KnoxMoms.com is

an interactive website that con-

nects mothers with each other,

with local children’s activities, and

with the essentials of parent-

ing, such as pediatricians and

playgroups. Currently, there is

very little talk on KnoxMoms.com

about educational opportunities

in our area! Let’s be the ones to

To 1,000 Generations: How to Give a Gift that Lasts

“A good man leaves an inheritance

for his children’s children...”

Proverbs 13:22a

“What is the use of living,

if it’s not to strive for noble causes

and to make this muddled world

a better place for those who will

live in it after we are gone?”

Winston Churchill

Let’s Talk About “We”

“I am here to talk about WE... not the video game, but you and me. Our Constitution starts ‘We the people.’ Well, We the people have done some amazing things!

We the people put a man on the moon. We the peo-ple elect a president through a democratic vote. We the people invented inventions that are used worldwide. We the people have won freedom. We the people carved a statue, Mt. Rushmore, that provid-ed jobs in times of hardship. We the people respect all cultures and religions. We the people believe in fair rights for all.

Although We the people are going through hard times, We the people can dig ourselves out! Through our involvement in our community, you and me... and all the people in this room, make up the We.

We the people is not just a part of history, it’s about our daily lives.”

The above excerpt is from 4th-grade student Ryan Lee’s award-winning speech about the accomplishments of the citizens of the United States. Ryan won 1st place in the “Big 9” Eastern Region Public Speaking Contest in February. Ryan competed against students from nine East Tennessee counties in this annual 4-H competition.

Best-Selling Author Brings Magic to the CAK ClassroomMrs. Paula Henson brings the best-selling “Magic Tree House” children’s book series to life

in her 1st-grade classroom. A “Magic Tree House,” built by her 17-year-old son Alex, stands

in the corner. There are “Magic Tree House” journal-writing assignments, a “Magic Tree

House” research bulletin board, a “Magic Tree House” mural, and the “Magic Tree House”

end-of-the-year dress-up extravaganza. Over Spring Break, the “Magic Tree House” enthusiasm

reached an apex with an appearance by the series’ author, Mary Pope Osborne.

Most of you know about the tragedy that one of our CAK families has experienced, losing their 12-year-old son, Zachary, in an accident last October. The Weimer family had to make the decision to either stay angry and hurt and constantly question God’s will, or surrender their lives once again and continue to trust in God, even with unanswered questions. They have chosen the path of faith and have formed a foundation in Zach’s honor. The two main goals are:

1. To promote and provide service opportunities to families and youth in the Farragut and surrounding communities.

2. To work closely with several local and international organizations to provide with funding, media, and volunteers to successfully strengthen and build their ministry or program.

Here are some dates you don’t want to miss:

• On Thursday, April 16, the Weimer family will be speaking and showing a video all about the Z Foundation at CAK Chapel.

• On Friday, April 17, The Z Foundation will put on a Launch Party to thank the community who supported them, provide more information about the charity’s mission, and inspire those who have been touched by Zach. The night’s entertainment will be headlined by the band FFH, and will be complimented by the talents of guest worship leader, Stefan Youngblood, and Farragut’s own Travis Hill, a successful singer-songwriter now living in Nashville.

• On Saturday, April 25, the Z Foundation will coordinate a large half-day work project for families and youth. More details about this event will be available soon.

For more information on the Foundation, the Launch party, and volunteer opportunities, please visit

Zach Weimer at Robin’s Nest Children’s Home in Jamaica. This was the Weimer family’s fi rst, and last, family mission trip with Zach, and he loved the experience, begging Mom and Dad to adopt one of the Jamaican babies. The Weimer family hopes to honor Zach’s passion by leading mission trips to orphanages.

High School Musical, April 30 - May 2

Meredith Willson’s classic musical, The Music Man, will be presented by CAK’s high school musical theatre on April 30, May 1, and May 2 in the CAK Campus Center. Each evening’s performance will begin at 7:00 p.m. The story centers around Harold Hill, a fast-talking travelling sales-man, played by Senior Thomas Waldrupe, who comes to River City, Iowa to start a boy’s band. The problem is that he really knows nothing about bands! Other leading roles are played by Jordan Duncan, Melynne Denton, Clark

Buckner, and Joe Johnston. The musical is a family-friendly story with many musical favorites including “Seventy-Six Trombones” and “Till There Was You”. Many lively-choreo-graphed musical numbers will keep everyone thoroughly entertained! Please mark your calendars! Admission is $8.00 for adults and $3.00 for students.

Hundreds of screaming middle school students usually signify the

presence of a pop band or High School Musical star, but on March 13, the

screams coming from Christian Academy of Knoxville’s football stadium

bleachers were shouts of welcome to CAK alumnus, Matt Roberts.

Roberts is an active-duty member of Knoxville’s Army Air National Guard

unit at Tyson-McGhee Airport. He is a 2002 graduate of CAK, attending

the school from 1st-12th grade. His mother, Rebecca Roberts, is a Middle

School Science teacher at Christian Academy of Knoxville.

Roberts, Rick Cochran (father of CAK 11th-grader Alli and 6th-grader

Parker), and two other military personnel spent the day on Friday with

CAK students. After a two-minute fl y-by and exciting landing on the

school’s football fi eld, Roberts’ helicopter was opened for tours while

Roberts and Cochran fi elded a plethora of questions from eager students.

Roberts will report for his next overseas mission at the end of the month,

taking with him via plane the same helicopter that hundreds of CAK

students toured on their very own football fi eld.
