SCA Kicks Off 2024-25 School Year with Record Enrollment
The 2024-25 school year at Summit Christian Academy (SCA) began on August 21. SCA is celebrating its 35th year serving Lee’s Summit and the Kansas City Metro with record enrollment of nearly 1,300 preschool-12th grade students. The school has expanded to four sections of all elementary classes and will have the largest-ever graduating class this year with 90 seniors.
“The first day of school is one of the best days of the year, and we welcomed almost 1,300 children to our campus for ministry and learning,” shared Head of School Chris Hahn. “I believe we are onto something good, as we aspire higher with our words, actions, and attitudes.”
Students Zora Jean Paul and Olivia Jennings are all smiles on their first day of kindergarten at SCA.
Seniors greeted students of all grades with worship music, posters, words of encouragement, and cheers as they entered their first day of school. Pictured with SCA Head of School Chris Hahn (center) are seniors (L-R) Drew Hawkins, Brayden Porter, Levi Tomlin, and Avery Whitfield.

Spiritual Seniors Serve on Mission Trip in Detroit
The Class of 2025 spent the final days of summer serving in Detroit. The senior mission trip is a long-standing tradition at SCA and this was the 21st year the senior class has served. As seniors prepare to go beyond the campus of SCA after graduation, the senior mission trip is an opportunity to build class leadership, unity, spiritual and personal leadership, and help a community in need.
Partnering with Praying Pelican Missions, seniors divided into multiple, intentional small groups, allowing them to impact several different people groups and organizations each day.
Some of the organizations aided by SCA during the mission trip included Northline Church, Metrolife Church, Gleaners food bank and distribution center, homeless shelters, and more.
"One day I was painting a yellow submarine and inviting people to VBS, the next I was running around with my face painted and my hands filled with balloon animals and a snow cone,” shared Senior Charli Hinton. “During that time, I would have done anything to make a young child smile, and I know that my classmates would say the same. The last night of our mission trip was the time I felt a touch of the kind of love God has for us.”
God truly was using these students, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to watch them serve as they did. This class is well on their way to making a massive impact in this community and I am excited to see how God uses them!”
The seniors finished their service week with a day of fun at CJ Barrymore’s in northern Detroit, which featured go-karts, a roller coaster, zipline, bumper boats, a giant saddle slingshot, and more.
Eighty-two of the 90 members of the Class of 2025 spent the final days of their summer growing closer to God and uniting as a class through spiritually challenging, intentional service to others on the senior mission trip.
“God is good,” shared SCA Secondary Principal Andy Pfeifer. “It brought me great joy to watch 82 of our 90 seniors serve with passion in Detroit. The students were challenged many times to go out of their comfort zone and be the hands and feet of Jesus, and they did so with boldness. I was also able to see these students be a shining light in a region where hopelessness reigns supreme.

SCA Gathers at See You at the Pole
Hundreds of students, faculty, staff, parents, and Covenant Church pastors united at the schools’ flagpoles on September 25 for See You at the Pole (SYATP). SYATP is an annual, nationwide initiative encouraging students to unite in worship and prayer. It is a student-initiated, student-organized, and studentled event. SCA K-12th grade students gathered at the elementary and secondary flagpoles to pray for their friends, families, school, and nation.
Seniors, including Charli Hinton (front) and Paige Miller (back), quickly
Seniors served at a Detroit organization called “Enchanted Makeovers,” that brings dignity to mothers and children who are homeless or housed in shelters through hand-sewn pillowcases filled with dolls or superhero capes.
SCA students, teachers, and families met at both SCA Flag Poles to join in the nationwide See You at the Pole. The theme for 2024 was 1 Timothy 2:1 “I urge you, first of all, to pray.”
Spiritual Students Remember 9/11
On September 11, if you looked around SCA, you saw the American flag and colors of red, white, and blue. In honor of the historical day of 9/11, the secondary club Turning Point USA sponsored a time of prayer and remembrance. SCA Academic Advisor Mr. Shaun Pfannenstiel spoke as well as student leader Paige Miller. SCA students also prayed on this day of remembrance for the lives lost.
Early Education Students Aspire Higher
by Jessica Fisher
Early Education is the front door of SCA where the youngest enter and learn what it means to go to school, be a friend, and love Jesus with all their heart. It is a young parent’s first glimpse into what SCA has to offer, why we are different, and how we are changing the world by equipping children to know their full identity in Christ and then impact the world for His kingdom. In circle time and center work, the
truth of who Jesus is becomes interwoven into each moment of each day, and little hearts open and respond.
As we look through the lens of Jesus in all that we do, children will learn the truth and power of God’s Word rather than rote memorization of a monthly Bible verse. Worship will become an act of adoration from the heart, rather than just a few minutes of fun music and movement. Prayer will become a personal and powerful connection with their Savior. We are small, but we will do big things.
Early Ed has been setting aside time in weekly chapel meetings to highlight our theme for this school year, Aspire Higher. As we talk about what this looks like in words, actions, and attitude, we end each chapel with a chant, “Aspire, higher! Aspire, higher! Aspire, higher! Watch us soar!!!”
Message from SCA Head of School Chris Hahn
Chris at the Capitol
As part of my role as the Missouri State Representative for the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI), I was asked and able to attend the Public Policy and Advocacy Summit in Washington, D.C., September 15-19. While there, I participated in meetings related to Defense of Human Dignity, Educational Choice for Children Act, Families Rights and Responsibilities Act, School Safety and Culture, in addition to meeting with the other ACSI State Representatives. I am encouraging each of us to continue to be in prayer for our school, community, state, and country. I am prayerfully asking and encouraging each of us, as we prepare for the upcoming election, to be in prayer, to be informed, and to vote. May our words and actions, as followers of Jesus, be an example for all as we demonstrate our belief that God remains on the throne and in control. The Lord has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all (Psalm 103:19).
Early Education students practice an Aspire Higher chant, “Aspire, higher! Aspire, higher! Aspire, higher! Watch us soar!” each week at chapel.
It is a JOY as our youngest SCA Eagles Aspire Higher! Secondary faculty member Mr. Mayor spoke at chapel about what it means to know Jesus and then how to be a "fisher of men."
STEWARDS Class Visits Wildwood outdoor Education
Pumpkin Day in Preschool
Pis for Pumpkin, that's good enough for me - fun fun fun fun fun! It was Pumpkin Day in Preschool!
Students have been busy hunting pumpkins, reading pumpkin books, tasting pumpkin snacks, experimenting with a pumpkin volcano, and learning about the life cycle of a pumpkin!
The STEWARDS class recently visited Wildwood Outdoor Education for a STEM-focused field trip. Students were given three bio-inspired nature engineering challenges to design and build:
• A protective layer for an egg drop
• Engineering an apparatus that alters the forces of inertia, gravity, and friction
• Building a catapult Wildwood Outdoor Education Center provided hands-on opportunities for students to ask questions, create designs, build together as a team, as well as testing and iterating their designs. What a great way to learn firsthand engineering for our STEWARDS students.
SCA Hosts Christian College Fair
Summit Christian Academy recently hosted the Christian College Fair. It was exciting to have over 200 attendees and 30 schools from 15 different states representing their universities! It was a wonderful opportunity for SCA students to explore and meet representatives from universities across the USA!
STEWARDS students (L-R) Emory Huffman, Lydia Rowell, and Lily Knox work on creating an apparatus that alters the forces of inertia, gravity and friction.

SCA students from the Speech and Debate Team competed at NSDA National Championships June 2024 in Des Moines.
Junior high students (2023-24) Leo Butler and Elijah Zicari placed 9th out of 60 teams nationally in Public Forum Debate. “I am very proud of these young men for stepping up and representing SCA in Speech and Debate competition nationally,” said SCA Speech and Debate Teacher Bill Lindsey.

Athletics Elementary Teams Join SCA Athletic Department
by Lance Quessenberry, Athletic Director
SCA Athletics has had an awesome fall season with all teams competing at a very high level. The postseason is upon us, and we pray our athletes stay healthy and play up to the level of ability with which God has blessed them.
Each new school year brings changes, and the Athletic Department is no different. Some of you may have noticed the elementary and junior high teams have run a little differently this year and are receiving more attention than in the past. These improvements are due to a change in structure within the department. In the past, the Elementary Athletic Director and Junior High Athletic Director have
been two different employees who have shared the positions with other duties, such as teaching. The part-time nature of the positions meant they were unable to put their full attention toward their Athletic Director duties. As one might expect, it was difficult to cover all the duties with part-time hours and divided responsibilities. Thankfully, SCA Administration made the decision to hire a full-time Athletic Director and a parttime Athletic Director who are working together to cover the elementary and junior high teams. Many of you have already met and worked with those two hires, Andre Echols in the full-time position, and Rhonda Morrison in the part-time position along with her teaching responsibilities.
Two months into the new year, I have already noticed a big change in what our department has been able to do for
elementary and junior high sports through their efforts. Both are putting a great deal of time and effort into improving coverage, care, and communication at these levels. They put in a lot of work behind the scenes that goes unnoticed and handle all situations with professionalism and a love for God. SCA Athletics is excited to have Mr. Echols and Mrs. Morrison leading elementary and junior high athletics as they work to improve those programs.
SCA Hosts Inaugural Homecoming Parade
The students at SCA have been wanting to host a Homecoming Parade for the past several years, and in 2024, they did it! SCA Secondary student council hosted the first SCA Homecoming Parade. The parade featured floats from the SCA athletic teams, fine arts, choir, theatre, and homecoming king & queen candidates. The route took the parade through Eagle Pass and in front of the SCA Fieldhouse & Activity Center. It was a great way to kick off the exciting weekend leading up to the SCA Homecoming football game where the SCA Eagles defeated the UA Gryphons in the final seconds with a field goal. The final score was 24 to 21!
L-R: Leo Butler and Elijah Zicari placed 9th out of 60 teams nationally in Public Forum Debate.

SCA Cross Country: Running the Race
For the varsity team, junior Ryan Sare set a goal to run 400 miles during his summer break. Ryan is a team captain for the Varsity Boys Cross Country team who loves to run. Last summer, he met his goal of running 100 miles, so he challenged himself to the next level of completing 400 miles this summer. He worked hard every day and completed his goal on August 20, the day before school started. His success was possible by averaging five miles per day and using an app on his watch to log his miles. This is a huge accomplishment and something that not many people can say they have accomplished. Ryan is a great leader. His dedication to running and achieving his goals is inspiring for our team! It will be exciting to see how Ryan and the rest of our team compete this year as we start to look toward the postseason!
At the elementary level, congratulations to the boys’ and girls’ teams on a successful season. At the beginning of the season, the team committed to “Aspire Higher” and focus on competing for God’s glory. Their hard work and determination paid off, with the boys placing 1st in two meets while the girls placed 1st and 3rd. The team is led by a strong group of 6th graders while the 5th graders also contribute serious speed. To help build their success, each day they focus on stretching and warm-up, strength training, distancing running, and speed work before ending the practice with a different athlete leading in prayer.

Junior High Softball Finds Success in First Season
SCA Athletics added the junior high level to the softball program this year. The 7th and 8th grade athletes were able to play nine games this season, including opponents from Clinton, Lafayette County, Mid-Buchanan, Lathrop, Richmond, and Cameron. The girls finished with an 8-1 record for their inaugural season and SCA is excited to help lead the way as school softball grows in popularity at the junior high level throughout the region.
For the season, the team had a 3.71 ERA, held their opponents to a .200 batting average with 45 strike outs and only 17 earned runs. On the offensive side of the ball, the girls had a team batting average of .531 and an on base percentage of .660. They had 78 hits throughout the season, including six home runs, and scored 104 runs.
The team started the season by setting
goals. They wanted an .800 winning percentage and finished the season at .890. They wanted a team batting average of .400 and finished at .531. They set a goal to pray with every team at the end of each game and were 100% successful.
Junior High Head Coach Jimmy Woodall stated, “I’ve coached softball for over 20 years and this group of girls is one of the most talented teams I’ve had the privilege
of coaching. From the top of the lineup to bottom, their skills and softball IQ go well beyond junior high expectations. More importantly, the girls interact with the other teams by showing love and respect. We shared the gospel, prayed, and gave our opponents “Jesus loves you” friendship bracelets.”
Fine Arts SCA Celebrates First Top Winner in the U.S. 5th Congressional District Art Competition
Each spring, the Congressional Institute sponsors a nationwide high school visual art competition to recognize and encourage artistic talent in the nation and in each congressional district. Since the Artistic Discovery competition began in 1982, more than 650,000 high school students have participated.
Students submit entries to their representative’s office, and panels of district artists select the winning entries. Winners are recognized both in their district and at an annual awards ceremony in Washington, D.C. The winning works are displayed for one year at the U.S. Capitol.
Ruisi (Christine) Xiong is SCA's first top winner in the United States 5th Congressional District Art Competition 2024. Christine's original artwork was framed for display in Washington D.C. at the U.S. Capitol, where it will be displayed for a year representing Missouri's 5th Congressional District. Christine attended the annual reception in Washington, D.C. on June 27, 2024, with two round trip tickets provided by Southwest Airlines, where she was honored by Congressman Emanuel Cleaver II. A photo of her artwork representing our district along with other nationwide winners may be viewed on the Congressional Institute's website: https://www.congressionalinstitute.org/art-contest-winners/ Isabella Wilson, Class of 2024, received SCA's next highest ranking with second place in 2023 and tied for second place again in 2024.
The junior high and high school softball teams invited their opponents to join them in prayer on the field after each game this season. The junior high team is pictured praying with the Clinton Cardinals.

SCA Welcomes New International Students from China and South Korea
SCA welcomed new students from China, Joe Huang (10th), and South Korea, Elizabeth Bae (9th). We also welcomed returning Chinese students, Leo Lei (9th), Emma Bao (10th), Kevin Chen (10th), Amber Zhang (10th), and Christine Xiong (10th), South Korean student, John An (10th), and Vietnamese student, Hannah Ho (12th).
It’s been two months since our international students arrived/returned and they have been getting involved in a variety of ways. They’ve enjoyed joining clubs and sports like chess, basketball, and NEXUS. They’re involved in theater, tutoring in Math Corner, and winning art competitions! They’re continuing to grow and learn about what it means to be an SCA Eagle, connect with their host families, and make friends with others! Their American Buddies have been a vital part of their assimilation into SCA life and U.S. culture.
The Buddy Program is a tremendous part of SCA’s International Program since our American Buddies are first friends to our international students. Buddies are friendly and provide excellent support for these new students. This year's Buddies are Noah Lam, Gabriel Haack, Clara-Lily Ball, Lily Glaze, Isabella Fulton, Jacob Yates, Bella Arroyo, Lydia Kemper, and Mason Strader. They connect with their international student both inside and outside the classroom and help them feel welcome, supported, and cared for.
As a Buddy, there are many chances to show your international student about American culture. Things like Homecoming, favorite restaurants, and new friend groups are excellent ways to introduce American culture. Recently, we went to The Fun Farm and enjoyed getting lost in a corn maze, jumping on the jumbo jumper, trying our hand at carnival games, flying down the giant slides, and battling obstacle courses!
The apple cider slush was a refreshing treat, too! We look forward to more adventures as the year progresses! If you’re interested in being an International Buddy next year, please contact International Program Director, Rocco DeFelice at rdefelice@sca-kc.org.
Students meet at NEXUS Club in September. NEXUS means connection or link, a connection between groups. NEXUS Club provides an opportunity to create meaningful connections with SCA international students.
International students and their Buddies enjoyed a day of activities at The Fun Farm in Kearney.
This & That Cordell's Corner: Qualified Charitable Distributions
Can Save You Money
What Is a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)?
Qualified charitable distributions (QCDs) are donations made directly from an IRA account to a qualified charity like SCA. Who is Eligible to Make a QCD?
You can make QCDs from your IRA or other qualifying retirement account once you reach age 70½. In addition, if you own a traditional IRA account, to prevent incurring tax penalties, you must begin taking a required minimum distribution, as determined by IRS tables, from your IRA by April 1st of the year after you reach 72. These withdrawals are typically included in your taxable income, but through a QCD in 2024 you can donate up to $105,000 (or $210,000 for married couples filing jointly)
Students Enjoy Morning With Mom
SCA recently hosted the annual “Morning with Mom” event. Mothers and mother figures were invited to share a muffin and extra time outdoors with their student(s) before the school day began.
from your account to an IRS-qualified charity to lower your adjusted gross income (AGI) and earn a tax break on your required minimum distribution.
How Do I Make a QCD?
The donation can be made directly by the IRA custodian or plan administrator, either by sending a check or wire to the charity or sending it to the account owner to pass directly to the charity of their choice. You can support multiple charities through QCDs each year, if the total distributions don’t exceed the annual limit.
You should keep donation receipts for reporting purposes and must make QCDs by the distribution deadline for it to apply towards your RMD, which is typically on December 31st in a given tax year. Given that contributions are made by your IRA administrator, you should plan ahead to ensure that your QCD is eligible for a tax deduction before the end of the year. Remember that payments must be made in the charity’s name, otherwise it will be considered taxable income.
Note that you cannot make QCDs to donor-advised funds or private foundations at this time.
What Are the Tax benefits of Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)?
1. Lower your annual gross income
While everyone over the age of 72 is required to take required minimum distributions (RMDs) from specific retirement accounts, it may not be beneficial for your tax situation given that RMDs are subject to income tax.
This additional income has the potential to push taxpayers into a higher tax bracket or could trigger phaseouts, in which income increases reduce your eligibility for tax credits. By making QCDs, you can fulfill your minimum distribution requirements and reduce your taxable income.
Note that while IRA distributions to a qualified charity are tax free, you will not be eligible to use QCDs to both lower your annual gross income (AGI) and claim a tax deduction on that charitable
contribution. You can still claim tax deductions on other donations made from different funding sources, regardless of whether you’re making QCDs.
Cordell Dick Director of Access & Affordability
2. Exceed your maximum allowable deductions from other donations
Qualified charitable distributions are not subject to the same charitable deduction maximum as individual charitable contributions because they are sent directly from the retirement account. If you have maxed out your tax deductions from charitable contributions through other means, you are still able to make an impactful gift that can reduce your overall tax liability through QCDs.
3. Claim benefits without itemizing
Qualified charitable distributions could also be beneficial if you’re retired with a low adjusted gross income. Since you’re generally only eligible to deduct up to 60% of your AGI, if you have little to no active income you may regularly exceed this amount with your charitable contributions. In this scenario, it could be more beneficial to make a QCD after meeting your maximum deduction or if you are taking a standard deduction instead of itemizing.
4. Lower future required minimum distributions
Because RMDs are calculated based on your IRA balance, leveraging your IRA funds to make a qualified charitable contribution can also reduce your future required distributions. This can be helpful if you are considering ways to lower AGI over time to reduce your tax liability.
5. Meet Required Minimum Distributions without income tax
Making QCDs can be a tax-efficient strategy if you have reached the age where you have to take required minimum distributions (RMDs) but either don’t need the money or want to reduce your overall tax liability.
