We had an amazing second week of Caraway Academy. Students were able to dive into learning as they explored topics they chose and discussed during the previous week. Some students learned how to create healthy yogurt parfaits, others explored volcanoes, and some used design skills to build cup towers. These are just a few examples of the great things that happened during Academies. This student’s quote really sums up the entire experience this week and the overall goals of Caraway Academy,
