🏆 Golden Shoes Award – Week of 8/31/26 🥋
Huge shout‑out to our 8th grade class, 8A! They crushed it in the dojang this week — learning new techniques, leveling up their forms, and showing discipline, focus, and real Buccaneer energy.
8A came ready to work, ready to grow, and ready to shine. We love seeing this momentum and can’t wait to see what they bring next!
Well done, 8A!

✨ First Assembly of the 26–27 School Year! ✨
Today we kicked off the year with a strong start as Dr. Tiller reviewed our Student Code of Conduct and shared expectations for success. Our Dragons were focused, respectful, and fully engaged. 🐉📚
Student Council is coming soon, and students will have the chance to meet with Dr. Tiller as we build leadership across our school.
A great beginning to a great year.

✨🔍 ABC Magic in Kindergarten! 🔍✨
Today our kindergarten students practiced saying their ABCs using the Magic Finder — and they did it without singing the alphabet song! 😄🎉
The Magic Finder helps students stay focused, engaged, and excited for their turn. Each child points to the letters one by one, showing they can say the alphabet independently. Once they’re successful, they pass the Magic Finder to the next classmate… and the excitement keeps growing! 😁💛
Hands‑on tools like this make learning fun, build confidence, and help students master important skills in a playful way. 📚✨

🎶🥁 Ms. T’s first graders had an awesome time in music class with Mr. Frazier today! The room was full of singing, rhythm, movement, and big smiles. 😄💛
They explored beats, practiced fun call‑and‑response songs, and used instruments to keep the music flowing. 🎤🎵
Music helps students build confidence, strengthen listening skills, and express themselves in creative ways — and they did all of that today!
We love seeing our Dragons shine through music and movement. 🐉✨

🍎✨ Letter of the Week: A! ✨🍎
Mrs. Middleton’s Kindergarten class spent the week exploring all things A, and they had an AMAZING time 😄💛
They practiced writing and tracing the letter A, then went on a classroom hunt for words that begin with A. They found:
🧸 Animals
🍏 Apples
✈️ Airplanes
⭐ Astronauts
🐜 Ants
🎨 And even made A‑themed artwork!
Learning letters becomes even more magical when students connect them to real objects, fun activities, and hands‑on discovery. They’re becoming confident readers one letter at a time 📚🐉✨

✨📚Blast From the Past: Words of Wisdom from Last Year's 8th Graders! 📚✨
This week, our current 8th graders are diving into a time capsule of advice left by last year's class during ELA. It’s amazing to see our students passing on their insights and watching this year’s class learn from the experiences of those who came before them.
🌟 Let’s celebrate this journey of learning and the connections that span across our CPFA family!

✨📚 Kindergarten Success at CPFA! 📚✨
Our Kindergarteners are already showing amazing growth — they can identify letters A–Z and are practicing tracing each one. These early literacy skills help build a strong foundation for writing, confidence, and classroom independence.
✏️💛 Every stroke, every letter, every practice page is helping them become stronger writers. We are so proud of their hard work and excitement for learning!

🔬✨ Our 8th graders are gearing up for an amazing season of science exploration at Columbus Preparatory & Fitness Academy!
Students are brainstorming, designing, and testing a variety of hands‑on experiments that they’ll showcase both in class and at our upcoming Science Fair. From chemical reactions to engineering challenges to real‑world problem solving, our scholars are diving deep into curiosity and creativity. 🌡️🧪⚙️
Science education builds critical thinking, teamwork, and confidence — and our students are proving every day that they’re ready to innovate, discover, and shine. CPFA scholars lead with effort, focus, and pride. 💡📚
We can’t wait to see their projects come to life at the fair!

🎶✨ Music filled our kindergarten classrooms today at Columbus Preparatory & Fitness Academy!
Mr. Frazier led our young learners through fun, engaging music activities that helped them build rhythm, confidence, and joyful classroom energy.
Music plays an important role in education — it strengthens memory, boosts language development, supports emotional expression, and helps students stay focused and excited about learning. 🎤📚💛
We love seeing our Little Dragons grow through creativity every single day! 🐉🎵
Our students stepped into the dojang today for Taekwondo training as part of their fitness class.
They practiced discipline, focus, balance, and respect — core values of this Korean martial art. Taekwondo gives students a chance to build confidence while learning how to move with purpose and control.
At CPFA, fitness is more than exercise. It’s exposure to meaningful experiences that strengthen both body and mind.
Our students show effort, respect, and pride in everything they do.
