Ohio Connections Academy Recognizes Wickliffe Student

Shannon Mullaly of Wickliffe was recently named one of Ohio Connections Academy’s (OCA) Star Students of the Month for April in recognition of her achievements and leadership in the virtual classroom.

Shannon, a second grader at the statewide online public charter school, was nominated by her teacher Mrs. Stults because of her passion and excitement for learning. As a Star Student, Shannon will be presented a certificate recognizing her achievement and be profiled in Ohio Connections Academy’s student newsletter and on the school’s website.

Shannan was enrolled in Ohio Connections Academy last year after attending another online school. Her parents believe she is more comfortable learning from home and the extra courses that are available at OCA is giving her more opportunities to learn than she would have in a traditional classroom.

“The faculty, staff and members of the board at Ohio Connections Academy are proud to recognize students like Shannon and the commitment they demonstrate to our school and their community,” said OCA Superintendent Marie Hanna. “Each of our Star Students are leaders in the classroom and demonstrate an extraordinary commitment to learning – they truly deserve this recognition.”

Each month OCA recognizes two students in each of the four grade bands for their achievements in and out of the classroom. The following Ohio Connections Academy students were also recognized as Star Students of the Month for April:

• Ujjvala Nitai Das, Kindergarten, Columbus
• To’Mya Reed, 4th Grade, Canton
• Aiden Richards, 5th Grade, Dayton
• Lindy Brown, 7th Grade, Perrysburg
• Lillian Lippeatt, 9th Grade, Mason

Ohio Connections Academy is a free, fully-online virtual public school that students in grades K-12 attend from home. OCA delivers high-quality, personalized education for students that combines certified teachers, a proven curriculum, as well as technology tools, and community experiences—online and in person—to create a supportive environment for children who want an individualized approach to education. Enrollment for the 2019-20 academic year is currently open.
