Mr. Mike and the rest of the iCademy Staff have got some FUN stuff coming your way! Stay tuned!
We had a great time visiting Crane’s Apple Orchard with our families last week. Mr. Andy even had the opportunity to talk to the owner of the farm who shared with us all about what it takes to cultivate an orchard!
Ms. Michelle interviewed the owner of the Critter Barn last week. We learned all about how Critter Barn was born and grown over the last 30 years!
