🌋🍎 Science Fun in Kindergarten: Volcano Apples! 🧪✨
Today, our little scientists explored chemical reactions! We learned that when certain substances are combined, they can react and create something exciting. And what better way to learn than with a hands-on experiment?
We turned ordinary apples into MINI VOLCANOES! 🍎🌋 The students helped hollow out an apple, add baking soda, dish soap, and food coloring, and then pour in vinegar to activate the reaction. Suddenly… FIZZ, FOAM, and POOF! 💥 Our apples erupted into mini volcanoes!
Of course, we had to make learning even more fun with our very own “Chemical Reaction” song! 🎶🎵
🎶 Apple, baking soda, food coloring, dish soap… mix it together, add the vinegar, and POOF, POOF — VOLCANO! 🌋🍎
The excitement, smiles, and curiosity made this science lesson one to remember! Our kindergarten scientists had a blast learning that science isn’t just something we read about in books — it’s something we can explore, observe, and experience! ❤️🔬

Columbus Preparatory and Fitness Academy’s 8th Grade Class recently hosted an amazing Celebration of Cultures! 🌎✨
As National Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 through October 15) comes to a close, our students found a meaningful way to celebrate Hispanic culture while also embracing the rich diversity of every culture represented in their classroom. National Hispanic Heritage Month is observed annually from September 15 through October 15.
Through delicious food 🍽️, traditional clothing 👗👔, and music 🎶, students proudly shared their heritage and learned about one another's backgrounds. What made this celebration so special was the students' commitment to ensuring that everyone felt seen, valued, and included.
This event was a beautiful reminder that our differences make us stronger and that every culture matters. ❤️ Together, we celebrate unity, diversity, and the unique stories that make our school community so special!

🔍🌿 The 4th grade students at Columbus Preparatory & Fitness Academy took their science lesson outdoors for a fun and engaging scavenger hunt! Students explored nature while searching for different bugs, plants, and other living things found around our campus.
Hands-on learning opportunities like this help students develop observation skills, curiosity, and a deeper understanding of the world around them. From discovering insects to identifying plants, our young scientists were excited to investigate and explore nature firsthand! 🐞🍃🌱
We love seeing our students learn beyond the classroom walls and turn the outdoors into a living science lab!

💙📚 Giving back never goes out of style!
On their day off from school, two former Columbus Preparatory & Fitness Academy students chose to spend their time giving back to the CPFA community by volunteering and helping tutor math students. Their willingness to return to their alma mater and support younger scholars is a wonderful example of leadership, service, and community involvement.
We are incredibly proud of these alumni for coming back to make a difference and help our students succeed. Thank you for investing your time, sharing your knowledge, and showing what it means to be a positive role model.
At CPFA, we love seeing our former students stay connected and give back to the school community that helped shape their journey. ❤️

🚒❤️ The students at Columbus Preparatory & Fitness Academy would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Station 12 of the Columbus Fire Department for taking the time to visit our school! Your visit helped our students learn valuable fire safety lessons and gave them an opportunity to meet real-life community heroes.
To show our appreciation, every class from Kindergarten through 4th grade wrote thank-you notes expressing their gratitude for the dedication, service, and kindness of our firefighters. In this photo, a firefighter proudly holds a special thank-you note created by Ms. Booth's 3rd grade class. ✍️🍎
Thank you, Station 12, for all that you do to keep our community safe and for making a lasting impact on our students. We appreciate your service and support!
