CAK Golf Tournament Needs Your Support
How Can I Help?Please consider the ways you can
play a role in the success of the
21st Annual Warrior ShootOut.
We challenge each CAK family to
increase their level of participa-
tion in this year’s event. Let’s put
a personal touch on the green!
Play on a team!
Organize a team from your
workplace or neighborhood
Volunteer at the event in the
morning or afternoon (or both!)
Make a fi nancial contribution
Ask your company to make a
contribution or become a sponsor
Publicize the event in your
workplace, business, neighbor-
hood, and church
Forward the new website
link, www.WarriorShootOut.com,
to your friends and family
Pray for the success of
the event and for the planning
committee and volunteers
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 Ten-
nessee, promises to be better than
ever in 2008. Scheduled for Friday,
September 19 at Rarity Pointe,
golfers choose to play the morning
round, afternoon round, or both!
Now in its 21st 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. Part is
given to tuition assistance to help
those families who could not attend
CAK without this support, and part is
set aside for the purchase of edu-
cational materials and equipment
to help continue our tradition of
education with excellence.
In addition to the fi nancial benefi ts CAK
receives from this annual tournament,
the school also gains positive exposure
in the Knoxville community by hosting a
friendly, enjoyable experience for partici-
pants, volunteers, and sponsors.
But, the planning committee can’t do it
alone. 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 regis-
tration, and distributing goody bags.
Please contact Jenny Dell at 690-4721,
ext. 143 or [email protected] to help.

tournament website at

The new Warrior ShootOut website is up and run-ning at www.WarriorShootOut.com. Participants, volunteers, and sponsors may now register online.
The start of a new school year
is often the beginning of many
new additions to one’s life:
new classmates, new carpool,
and often a new school.
We are welcoming many new
families to CAK this year. We
believe that each family is sent
by God to bless and be blessed.
In order to welcome our new
families properly we would
like to invite all brand new
CAK families to the 2008 New
Family Welcome Dinner! The
New Family Welcome Dinner
is for all new CAK families and
host families (and, yes, parents,
your children are allowed to
bring you). Here is what you
need to know:
This is a fun family outing. Get
to know some of the other
CAK families whose children
are in the same grade as your
students. Enjoy a casual, tasty
meal catered by Backyard
Burger, and then head out to
cheer for the Warriors in their
first home football game of the
season!
Please RSVP for your family
(include your name and the
number of people who will be
attending) by August 21. You
may RSVP by contacting Jenny
Dell in the CAK office at (865)
690-4721, ext. 143, or at jdell@
cakmail.org.
We look forward to meeting
you and officially welcoming
you to the CAK family!

CAK libraries can always use volunteers to
assist the library staff. This is a great way to
help the school and learn more about what
our libraries have to offer. Additionally, we are
looking for substitutes for the library. Please
contact Diana Holden, Head Librarian, at 690-
4721, ext. 124 or [email protected] for
more information.

Middle School Students Make History During “Geek Week”Live Webcast Connects CAK & Sudan
Above: Students gather around the computer to learn about life in Sudan. Right: Ms. Henderlight shows CAK students how Sudanesechildren dance at church (by jumping up and down!)
On July 17, a group of inquisitive Middle School stu-
dents participated in a live webcast between CAK and
students at a primary school in Sudan -- the first broad-
cast of its kind to take place at the Academy. Led by
Anita Henderlight of New Sudan Education Initiative and
Middle School Math teacher, Ms. Pearman, CAK students
prepared questions about sports, food, weather, school,
hobbies, and religious persecution to ask the group of
Sudanese 7th graders.
“One of the kids wants us to ask, ‘Do you like pie?,’” said
CAK 7th grader Ashley Keller. “I also want to ask ‘What
sports do you play?’ and ‘What is a typical school day
like?’”
The Sudanese students (girls ages 15-22) met CAK in
cyberspace via a single computer, run by a gas-powered
generator, sitting outside of a tent. It was a stark con-
trast to the high-tech Middle School computer lab with
25 computers and a big screen!
After communicating through visual images, audio, and
typing, the CAK Middle School group discussed the ex-
perience: “I thought the houses would look like they did,
but I figured the schools would be better,” commented
one student. Mud homes, thatch roofs, and schools
without walls or chairs are common sights in South
Sudan. The resounding sentiment from all CAK students
was “We are so blessed!”
