The Athlete of the Month award at Columbus Performance Academy for September 2026 goes to our 5th-grade student, Mi’Angel Floyd! 👏 Mi’Angel is a wonderful example of determination, respect, and a positive attitude. She comes to class ready to learn, works hard during training, and consistently gives her best effort. She listens to her instructors, stays focused throughout class, and approaches every challenge with confidence and perseverance. We are proud of the progress Mi’Angel has made in her Taekwondo skills and, most importantly, the character she continues to show both on and off the mat. Her dedication and hard work make her a great role model for her classmates. Congratulations, Mi’Angel! Keep working hard, keep believing in yourself, and keep shining! 🥋⭐️
💙 Big Kids, Big Encouragement at CPA!
Our 7th and 8th graders at Columbus Preparatory Academy spent some time helping and encouraging our Kindergarten students! It’s wonderful to see our older students stepping up as role models—offering a helping hand, cheering on our youngest learners, and showing them what it means to be part of the CPA community.
These are the moments that make our school community so special! 🌟
