Calling All Moms! CAK Bible Study
Power Your Day, the H2O Way The newly formed CAK Elementary Health Council is committed to good nutrition, but proper hydration is an often overlooked component of good health. “When we consider that 85% of the brain is water, it stands to reason that the brain draws most of its energy from water,” explains Health Council member Judy Cunningham. “Adequate hydration is essential for good brain function and concentration.” In an attempt to improve daily hydration, the Health Council has designed and produced a plastic water bottle that has been approved for classroom use. The bottles sell for $2.00 each, and many parents purchased theirs at the Elementary Open House last month. The water bottles are also for sale at the Elementary reception desk.
Elementary salad bar -- Fridays! Top left: Elementary Health Council members, Judy Cunningham and Marie Gerrick, sell classroom-approved water bottles at the Elementary Open House in August.
In addition to striving toward healthy hydration, a volunteer parentoperated salad bar is now available for Elementary students each Friday to accompany pizza servings. A side salad of the following options: romaine lettuce, tomato, carrots, broccoli, cheese, sunflower seeds, and ranch dressing will be offered for $1.50. Carrots and dip will sell for 50 cents, and there will be a “Fruit of the Month” offering, as well. For more information or to become a volunteer, contact a Health Council member (Susan Lawson, Judy Cunningham, Marie Gerrick, Suzie Wyatt, or Angela Nowell).
CAK moms are gathering weekly for prayer, fellowship, and Bible study on Friday mornings in the Elementary School meeting room. The first study began on September 5 and will run through October 31, but it’s never too late to join the group! The women gather from 8:00-8:30 am for prayer and continue in Bible study through 10:30 am. Workbooks are provided for a $15 materials fee. Now -- October 31: “Anointed, Transformed, Redeemed: A Study of David” with Beth Moore, Priscilla Shirer, and Kay Arthur November 7 -- 21: “Be Still and Know that I Am God” (Contemplative Prayer) with Max Lucado, Beth Moore, Priscilla Shirer, Henry Cloud, and others January 9 -- May 1: “Esther” with Beth Moore For more information, please contact Lynn Robinson at (865) 951-1850 or by email at lynnejr@comcast.net.

From the Desk of Frank Merry: Does Your Company Match Charitable Gifts? Many people don’t realize that their company will match charitable gifts up to a certain level, effectively doubling or even tripling donations to non-profit organizations like CAK. For example, let’s assume you work for Coca-Cola and are led to donate $500 to CAK’s 2008-2009 Annual Fund. Coke currently matches gifts at a 2:1 ratio, meaning they will give CAK an additional $1,000 as a matching gift to your generosity. In total, the school would receive $1,500.
Frank Merry is the CAK Development Director. He can be reached at Ext. 177 or fmerry@cakmail.org. Frank’s office is located in the Campus Center.
All that is required for matching gifts is for you to obtain a matching gifts form from your company’s personnel or human resources department. You would then submit your check and the form to the CAK Business Office and let us handle the rest. All companies that have matching gift programs do set limits on how much they will match (for example, Coke’s limit is $4,000), but having any matching gift is better than none at all! CAK has provided a link on the school website (www.cakwarriors.com) that allows you to search and see if your company has a matching gifts program. Not all companies publish their program, so it is also advisable to check directly with your HR department if you don’t find your business in the online database.
Middle School Football Off to a Strong Start
Warrior Middle School football started the season with two shut-out games, beating Harriman 24-0 and defending AAA Champion Robertsville-Oak Ridge 12-0. The young Warriors have worked very hard to reach this point, and Coach Treadway would like to acknowledge the following outstanding players:
Russell August A.J. Camarda (team captain) William Gass (team captain) Charlie High (team captain) Davis Howell (team captain) Josh Smith The next games of the season are September 15 vs. Jefferson (at home) and September 18 vs. Rockwood (also at home).
Get Geared Up for Games in CAK Warrior Wear Warrior apparel is available for purchase in all three school libraries (with the Elementary library selling youth sizes only). In addition, Warrior spirit items -from hats, sports bottles, and seat cushions, to license plates, decals, and shakers -- can be purchased from the Booster Club at home games, in the High School Athletic Office, the Middle School library, or at the Elementary reception desk.

9th Grade Student Wins Regional Writing Contest The ACSI Regional Creative Writing winners were recently announced. There were well over 1,000 entries from states all across the Southeast competing in this event.

CAK 9th grader Charlie Waddle was recognized for superior work in a short story she wrote during the 2007-2008 academic year. Her story was published in the 2008 edition of the ACSI Creative Writing Winners anthology. Other outstanding writers were Elizabeth Bryson, Chris Jaeger, Kim Counts, Michaela Stockdale, and Maddie Braswell. These students all received excellent ratings for their work in poetry and short stories. Congratulations and keep up the good work!

Youth Football Now a Reality After months of planning and practice, the inaugural season of Christian Youth Football in Knox County is now in full-force. With three teams in the Knox County football league, the Warriors started the season in high-gear with a win over rival Catholic. Team general manager and league commissioner, Jeff Taylor, has organized three teams for 2008. With 9-, 10-, and 11-year-old teams, participants have entered competitive play with controlled growth. Currently, CAK has 68 youth participating and will add 8and 12-year-old teams in 2009. “Without funds and equipment, I had many sleepless nights last spring prior to sign-ups,” explains Taylor. “But when it all came together, God blessed us with great parents, coaches, and sponsors who provided us with everything we need.” Taylor would like to thank his wife, Coaches Rusty Bradley, Ron Treadway, and Ray Pinkstaff for advice and guidance, and the CAK administration for use of the practice fields. Jeff is already looking for coaches and players for the 8- and 9-year-old teams for the 2009 season. He may be reached at (865) 765-2119.

CAK Learning Center Serves All Kinds of Learners In I Corinthians 12:4-27, Paul teaches about the spiritual gifts given to each member of the body of Christ “for the common good” of other believers and the world. These gifts, talents, and abilities are evidence of God’s plan for us to be His “arms and legs” to the world. The faculty and staff at CAK seek to teach in cooperation with God in drawing out each student’s spiritual gifts and talents to further God’s purposes in our community. Every student expresses their spiritual gifts differently, leading to an exciting and creative world! Some of us are linguistic while others are logical and mathematical. Some are spatial or body-kinesthetic; others interpret information in a
more musical manner. Some people are extremely gifted with interpersonal skills while others are more introspective. None of us has just one gift or talent. CAK understands that we must teach to the whole student by addressing not only academic and athletic abilities, but also to the spiritual gifts. The CAK Learning Center helps students express their knowledge and assists them in acquiring additional skills when needed. There are many forms of learning assistance available. Details of Learning Center programs for all three schools, as well as a directory of qualified tutors, is available online at www.cakwarriors.com (click “Learning Center”). Or you may contact Nancy Parrott at (865) 690-4721, ext. 199 or nparrott@cakmail.org.
