GoHeels Exclusive: Academic All-Stars Program Continues To Inspire

Yvonne Kelly's 2019 is off to a great start.

Not only did the kindergartener make the honor roll at her Greensboro elementary school, but she was also honored as an Academic All-Star during the second half of the North Carolina men's basketball game against Harvard on Wednesday.

Yvonne isn't too much of a UNC fan yet, she said. But she was still excited to be recognized for her hard work. So were her parents, who joined her for the game.

"I was so proud," said Kimberly Wells, Yvonne's mother, of when she learned about her daughter's achievement.
