(Lee’s Summit) - Summit Christian Academy (SCA) is pleased to recognize students who consistently exhibit exceptional Christian character through the Christian Character Award program. The purpose of this award is to encourage students to pursue their potential toward attaining the highest level of personal and academic development, as well as Christian character. The achievement of Christian Character at SCA is one of the most prestigious recognitions within the school.
SCA Elementary Christian Character recipients for the fourth quarter of the 2024-25 school year are fourth grade student Bella Smith, daughter of Steven and Rachael Smith, and fifth grade student Carter Cook, son of Alec and Alison Cook.
In addition, SCA announced the 2025 SCA Elementary Christian Character Students of the Year: fourth grade student Evelynn Lightle, daughter of Robbie and Jessica Lightle, and sixth grade student Anand Miller, son of Deepa and Lyle Miller.
“Evie Lightle is one of those students who shines from the inside out,” shared SCA Elementary Assistant Principal Shauna Borgstadt. “Her love for others, her steady kindness, and the way she lives out her faith every day make a big impact on everyone around her. Evie leads not by trying to stand out, but by quietly showing up with a heart full of grace. We’re so proud of her and grateful for the example she sets in our school community.”
“We’re incredibly proud of Anand Miller for being named this year’s Christian Character Student of the Year Award winner,” shared SCA Elementary Principal Kelly Montgomery. “Anand lives out his faith in such a real and humble way — always kind, respectful, and ready to help others. He sets a great example for his classmates just by being himself. It’s been a blessing to watch him grow into a young leader who truly reflects the heart of Christ in all he does.”
