Conservatory Student to Play in All-National Band Congratulations to junior Rebekah Laflin for being

chosen to participate in the 2018 All-National Honor

Band! Being part of the All-National Honor Band

at the All-District level, followed by the All-State level,

and finally at a National competition. Rebekah will be

one of 121 instrumentalists who were chosen by

audition from around the country to play in the

All-National Concert Band.

Lecrae Devaughn Moore, known as Lecrae, is a Christian

hip hop recording artist, songwriter, record producer,

and actor. TKA was privileged to have him speak to our

MS/HS students during a special Chapel on Wednesday.

Lecrae shared his story and encouraged students to

"embrace their fears and let fear drive their faith." To

know that their identity and worth is found in Jesus Christ

and that God has a purpose and a plan for their life that

includes their trials and scars. "For we are His workman-

ship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God

prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:10
