Missouri Connections Academy Recognizes Grandview Student

Alysha Rose of Grandview, was recently named one of Missouri Connections Academy’s (MOCA) Students of the Month in recognition of her outstanding achievements and leadership in the virtual classroom.

“Our students of the month demonstrate leadership and an extraordinary commitment to learning while serving as strong role models for their peers,” said Lynsie Hunt, School Leader at Missouri Connections Academy. “The members of our faculty and staff are proud to give these virtual classroom leaders the recognition they deserve.”

Alysha is in the seventh grade at Missouri Connections Academy. According to her mother, Alyasha Jenkins, they enrolled Alysha in the online school last year to be in a learning environment with fewer distractions than she had in a traditional classroom.

Among the things Alyasha said she appreciates most about Missouri Connections Academy is the one-on-one learning experience that her daughter receives from her teachers, and the curriculum is engaging and challenging.

“I am absolutely amazed at the way in which MOCA introduces new concepts and ideas under each lesson,” Alyasha said. “In addition, there are a variety of resources to use while navigating through each lesson.”

As a Student of the Month, Alysha will receive a certificate of achievement and be profiled in the Missouri Connections Academy student newsletter and the school’s social media platforms.
