This newsletter will provide some important information about the opening of the school year.

Welcome Back, Students & Teachers!Mr. David McFalls has had quite an

eventful summer.

Soon after he was named the new Elementary School Principal at CAK, Mr. McFalls and his wife, Alicia, were charged with selling their house in Pennsylvania, relocating to Knoxville, and adjusting to a new way of life. Through it all, they have looked to the Lord to guide them.

“A verse which my wife and I have been clinging to is Psalm 37:4-5, ‘the Lord is faithful,’” Mr. McFalls said. “Obviously being the ‘new kid on the block’ means my learning curve is being stretched ... but the Lord has sustained my family and me in amazing ways throughout it all. “

After a nationwide search, CAK’s search committee and Board of Directors reached a unanimous and prayfully-made decision and offered the position of Elementary School Principal to Mr. McFalls.

Mr. McFalls comes to CAK from Red Lion Christian Academy in Bear, Delaware,

Mr. David McFalls joins CAK as Elementary School principal for the 2010-11 school year.

where he served as Elementary Principal and Director of Early Education. He brings 17 years of experience as an educator, with seven of those years spent in private education.

Mr. McFalls holds a Master’s degree in Education from Widener University and a Bachelor’s in Business Administration from Elizabethtown College. He is passionate about Christian education and believes in CAK’s mission. “I am excited about the opportunity to use my gifts, talents, and passions here at CAK to effectively teach and mentor students,” Mr. McFalls said. “The work we do here at CAK has eternal significance and I feel privileged and humbled to be a small part of it by God’s grace.”

“From everyone who has been given much, much willbe demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.” Luke 12:48b

Luke 12:48b is Mr. Sandie’s theme verse for the 2010-11 school year. Will you please join us in praying that we use the many gifts and resources the Lord has blessed us with for His glory?

In order to welcome our new families properly, we would like to invite all brand new CAK students and host families to the 2010 New Family Wel-come Dinner!

This is a fun family outing. Get to know some of the other CAK families

CAK Golf Tournament Needs Your Support Golfers, get your clubs out and work on your swing because the Warrior ShootOut is just around the corner. The tournament, considered to be one of the best of its kind in East Tennessee, promises to be better than ever in 2010. Scheduled for Friday, September 17 at Rarity Pointe, golfers choose to play the morning round, afternoon round, or both!

Now in its 23nd year, the Warrior ShootOut plays an integral part in the fundraising efforts at CAK. The proceeds from this event go to several areas of school life, including tuition assistance

and the purchase of educational materials and equipment. In addition to the financial benefits CAK receives from this annual tournament, the school also gains positive exposure in the Knoxville community by hosting a friendly, enjoyable experience for participants, volunteers, and sponsors.

We need your smiling faces on the green! Volunteers are needed to work morning and/or afternoon shifts at the tournament. Volunteer activities include: “manning” the holes, preparing refreshments, helping with golfer registration, and distributing goody bags.
