May 2016 - Local homeschoolers at Academy Days Co-op show off their painted rocks in the style of George Washington Carver in Alabama history class.

Millbrook residents Kaylee Richey and Zoe Stephens and Montgomery residents Abbey Holmes and Addie Newell learned that Carver's resourcefulness developed from an early age as he made paints from crushed berries and painted on rocks instead of canvas.

Next year the students will learn world history at co-op. Held at Coosada Baptist Church, the Academy Days Co-op meets weekly during the school year for homeschoolers in preschool through high school to take classes in subjects such as acrylic painting, creative writing, Spanish, logic, computer programming, P.E. and science labs.
