For the week of December 15, the Golden Shoe Award at Columbus Preparatory and Fitness Academy goes to Ms. Steven’s 3A class! They were excellent all week, and we had a lot of fun learning new skills together. Every student was fully engaged in the activities, competed with enthusiasm, and showed great effort throughout the week. We hope to have many more days like this—great job, 3A!
