Student Spotlight: Kelly McDaniel
Kelly is both an excellent student and an accomplished musician. He earned a spot on our school’s High Honor Roll — and he performed at the Virtual Charity Concert for Child Protection in support of UNICEF USA. In recognition of Kelly’s contribution and to thank him for performing, UNICEF USA presented him with a Certificate of Appreciation.
In addition, Kelly was a member of our school’s Gaming and Technology, Chess, and Arts and Crafts clubs. Says Kelly’s mom, “Thank you, California Connections Academy for being so beneficial [and instrumental in helping my son achieve] his academic triumph!”
“California Connections Academy is among the best tuition-free online public schools where students can flourish and succeed.”
— Kelly’s mom
