Yuliana Wekseth of Becker was recently named one of Falcon View Connections Academy’s (FVCA) Students of the Month for September in recognition of her achievements and leadership in the virtual classroom.

Yuliana, an eighth grader at the statewide online school, was nominated by her teachers in recognition of the hard work and determination she puts in her schoolwork. As a Student of the Month, Yuliana will be presented a certificate, recognized in the school’s monthly newsletter, and featured on the school’s social media platforms.

Yuliana came to Falcon View Connections Academy at the beginning of this year because she always believed an online environment would best suit her needs. After her previous school was closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she discovered she worked better learning remotely. She believes attending FVCA works better for her because she better understands the assignments and can work at her own pace.

“At FVCA, I can deal with things on my own time and I won’t be as stressed from extra variables. It’s helpful, understandable, and eliminates extra stressors from my life,” Yuliana said.

Each month during the school year FVCA will recognize students in grades K through 12. The following students were also recognized as students of the month:

• Porter Bonilla, 4th Grade, Duluth;

• Joshua Missling, 8th Grade, Coon Rapids;

• Austinna Gonzalez-Zaldivar, 10th Grade, Saint Paul.

“Our students of the month demonstrate leadership and an extraordinary commitment to learning while serving as strong role models for their peers,” said Anne Wasmund, Falcon View Connections Academy Principal.

“The members of our faculty and staff are proud to give these virtual classroom leaders the recognition they each deserve.”

Falcon View Connections Academy provides students statewide with a high-quality, personalized online education.
