LETTER FROM THE PARENT'S LEADERSHIP COUNCIL

Every day is an exciting day in the life of The King's College. Your kids know that and we experience it as well as part of the Parent's Leadership Council. It's encouraging to see what's happening at King’s and this winter has been no exception.

Stan's return as president is a blessing that we praise God for, and no doubt it is an answer to the prayers of many of you. Brett Schundler joining King's as COO is also a blessing that we think will produce great things for the college. Brett’s passion for making a difference in the public square will spread throughout the school. We are also thankful for Marvin Olasky as he continues to lead the faculty, mold the curriculum, and ensure that our students are given a great experience while at King’s.

So where does the PLC fit in to all this? Additionally, some of you may be asking, “Who makes up the PLC?” Let me explain.

First we are parents just like you. Some of us are parents of recent alums (still committed to the work of TKC) and most are parents of current students. We believe in what King's is about, and we believe we have identified five focus areas that we can make a difference in: prayer, communications, recruitment, placement, and financial development. We have divided up into teams with a leader over each area (see list below) and we're committed to working with the King's team to support their goals—strengthening the institution to the glory of THE King.

We're recently added three couples to the PLC (doubling our leadership team) and we have added some exciting energy and insight. We'd love to hear from you regarding any suggestions you may have, how we can best serve you, and if you are interested in coming along side the school and working on a focus area with us. Some of the things we are hoping to accomplish include: hosting receptions in the homes of King's families around the country so that interested high school seniors and juniors can learn about King’s; leveraging our contacts for internships and jobs; and most of all praying every day for King's faculty, staff, and students. Join us by emailing the PLC member that represents your interest.

Finally, we want you to know that we’re already planning for this fall's New Student Orientation and Parent's Weekend. If you have any questions or suggestions regarding these events, or anything else, please let us know. It is a pleasure serving you.

Blessings in Christ,

Susan and Cary Humphries, Chairpersons for the PLC
