The day will recognize students and their supporters. It’s a day to showcase how online learning has helped people accomplish their goals and dreams and check things off their bucket list!
Emerald Zeitz is a parent of an online student. “Alexandra is excelling at school and her self-esteem is sky high. She believes in herself as a student and can be herself. We also love online learning for the rigorous curriculum and we know that Alexandra will be prepared for her future and career,” says Zeitz.
