The students in Lexington’s virtual summer school aren’t high schoolers getting credits for fall or adults earning college credits to advance careers. They are kindergarten students to second- graders. “I like rhyming,” said Belle Payne, 6, one of 30 students using an online program to help her with language skills. She prefers rhyming words to word endings, but worked carefully on her new lesson Thursday. Her mom would take her swimming as soon as she was done. “Mornings are best,” said Cathy Payne, saying her daughter asks for lessons after breakfast and happily works toward her 60-minute weekly goal.
