Another great school year in the books!! At Community of Peace Academy it’s tradition on the last day of school for teachers and staff to line the sidewalks to wave goodbye to students. On Tuesday that beloved tradition lived on! Everyone at CPA is wishing you a very safe and wonderful summer break!

At CPA there is a tradition where staff create a tunnel to welcome and cheer on the graduating class as they enter their graduation ceremony. It’s easy to cheer on such great students!

“You found a place where you belonged—a community that celebrated your successes, supported you through challenges, and reminded you that you matter. And now, you are ready to become. You are becoming leaders, professionals, parents, innovators, artists, entrepreneurs, and changemakers. Most importantly, you are becoming the people you were meant to be. ” -Principal Moore

Here’s to the Class of 2026 and all they will accomplish! Everyone is so proud of your hard work! Be the PeaceBuilders we know you can be!

Kindergarten is counting down to the end the year by celebrating a different letter every day! For J they went to the Minnesota Zoo to see animals in the jungle. What an exciting way to practice the letters they have learned this year!

Tonight we celebrated everything that makes CPA special. Choir students from high school and elementary sang beautifully. We also got to admire beautiful artwork and vote on our Board of Directors for next year. Together we celebrated each other tonight and that is what makes our community so wonderful.

Minnesota Department of Transportation recently joined 4th grade in building a model of a bridge in small groups. Students got to take on roles of project manager and assistant project manager to lead their group in creating a bridge. In the end they got to see their hard work in fruition each student got to crawl across!
