Over spring break, students and families from Cascade Virtual Academy came together for an unforgettable, real-world learning experience along the Oregon coast. Traveling from Seaside to Brookings, participants swapped screens for sea spray as they witnessed the annual gray whale migration firsthand. The adventure offered a unique opportunity to connect virtual learning with nature, creating lasting memories and sparking curiosity outside the classroom.
