Jessica Shea from Creative Inspiration Journey School told News 6, “We believe that here at CIJ that education is a continuous journey, and learning never stops. Even though we are in the summer months, let’s do it in a fun way. Let’s get out in the environment and just keep learning, keep asking why.”
