Missouri Connections Academy Recognizes Springfield Student

SPRINGFIELD, MO – Brooklynn Green, of Springfield, was recently named one of Missouri Connections Academy’s (MOCA) Students of the Month for November in recognition of her outstanding achievements 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.”

Brooklyn is a third grader at the statewide, tuition-free, online public school and was nominated by her teacher. As a Student of the Month, Brooklyn will receive a certificate of achievement and be profiled in the Missouri Connections Academy student newsletter and the school’s social media platforms. Each month during the school year, MOCA will recognize students in grades K through 12 who are excelling in the virtual classroom.

According to Brooklyn’s mother, Ashlee, they enrolled their children in Missouri Connections Academy after having been homeschooled. Ashlee said that so far, her kids love it more than the homeschool curriculum they previously used.

“Just in a few weeks, Brooklyn has already learned so much,” Ashlee said.

Ashlee appreciates how Missouri Connections Academy provides families with the support they need to help their students achieve success. They also give students a second chance on assignments to make sure they truly understand the material.

Virtual school is a great fit for a variety of students and each student is unique. Those who attend Missouri Connections Academy come from different backgrounds and choose full-time online school for various reasons. Some students prefer to take ownership of their education and benefit from the flexibility that virtual school offers, while others are looking for a safe learning environment.
