Yesterday was an incredible day at CAK! Our hearts are still full of joy after we hosted the amazing SOZO Children's Choir. Watching our students light up with excitement as they danced and sang alongside the talented choir members was wonderful. We are so thankful for the visit from the SOZO Children's Choir! They shared their talent and spread the love of Christ through music. Our students and faculty were touched by their visit, and we can't wait to welcome them back again soon!

This past week, nine CAK students had an unforgettable senior trip to Italy! Students and chaperones explored the historic streets of Rome, Florence, Assisi, and Pisa! This trip was an incredible journey filled with culture, history, and lifelong memories. Our seniors had an amazing time immersing themselves in the beauty and charm of Italy, experiencing iconic landmarks like the Colosseum, Vatican City, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa firsthand.

We are incredibly proud of Cole & Cooper Speck for their outstanding work on their senior capstone project, The Warrior Film Fest! The project had two objectives: First, to provide an opportunity for students in the arts to compete and showcase their creativity. Second, to encourage people with little or no experience in filmmaking to give it a shot without worrying about their skill level.

Cole & Cooper organized an event where participants were invited to submit a three-minute short film of any genre. The films were evaluated based on criteria such as Best Sound Design, Best Cinematography, Best Screenplay, Most Creative, The Audience Choice Award, and Best Motion Picture. The winner of Best Motion Picture received a cash prize of $250. The event was held at Central Cinemas Knoxville.

Well done, Warriors! #CAKHighSchool #WarriorNetwork
