## Resource

Arizona’s newest K-8 school, the Alma Farrell Innovation Academy, is revolutionizing education by embedding career exploration into every lesson—from kindergarten onward. With hands-on, project-based learning in subjects like math, reading, veterinary science, and agriculture, students aren’t just studying—they’re discovering real-world applications. Principal Elizabeth Allison says the goal is to prepare kids for college, military service, entrepreneurship, or direct employment, no matter their path. This bold new model is setting a national precedent for early career readiness. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
