Jenessa Quimby, of Woodbury, was recently named one of Minnesota Connections Academy's (MNCA) Students of the Month in recognition of her outstanding achievements and leadership in the virtual classroom. Jenessa, an eighth grader at the public online school, was nominated by her teacher, Ms. Maxwell, in recognition of the outstanding attitude towards learning she brings to class each day. As a Student of the Month, Jenessa will receive a certificate of achievement and be profiled in the Minnesota Connections Academy student newsletter and the school's social media platforms. "Our students of the month demonstrate leadership and an extraordinary commitment to learning while serving as strong role models for their peers," said Brad Swanson, School Leader at Minnesota Connections Academy. "The members of our faculty and staff are proud to give these virtual classroom leaders the recognition they deserve." Jenessa has been attending Minnesota Connections Academy since 2018 and enjoys the flexibility to learn at her own pace.
