Students, parents, faculty, and staff congregated in the Jetnasium for two assemblies held just before the winter break. On Dec. 8, elementary schoolers gathered in the morning, and secondary students took their turn later in the afternoon. Emcees Juniors Jessica Woo and Sunny Oh guided the audiences throughout the recitals.

The event showcased the achievements of scholars throughout the first semester with awards endowed to recipients. The Drama Club, Rock Bands, Dance Teams, and Girl Scouts provided the icing on the cake with appealing performances.

The assemblies commemorated a successful start to the 2023-2024 school year. The facilitators, such as performers, emcees, and stage managers, organized from weeks before to prepare for the big day. Their efforts led to a huge success. The DIS community came together to demonstrate school spirit, and the Jets aspire to continue their arduous journey into the remainder of the school year.

About the Contributors

Andrew Shim, Writer

Now a senior, Andrew begins his second year with the Jets Flyover. Eager to write about the latest news and sports, Andrew takes his passion to the next level in the multimedia program. In his leisure time, he often finds himself lost in the wonders of science. Aside from his interest in journalism, Andrew hopes to improve his photography skills in order to capture every moment of his last year in DIS.

Anna Yoon, Section Editor

DIS veteran Anna Yoon embarks on her final chapter of highschool as an editor for the Flyover. Through the articles she pens for the school newspaper, she provides interesting and thought-provoking sneak peeks into the lives of other people. Having already been recognized as a “Best of SNO” writer in her first year, she now turns to also help other students polish their work.

Catherine Park, Editor in Chief

Cath loves writing stories and making art. Luckily, God gifted her a talented left hand. As the vice president of the National Arts Honor Society, she can be seen drawing around campus. Cath explores many different genres of books, music, movies, and activities, and is willing to explore more about them throughout her experience as the editor-in-chief. All she needs is paper, a pencil, an eraser, and her dog, Russell. Cath writes, illustrates comics, edits articles, and manages the Jets Flyover.

Christine Park, Illustrator

After years of persuasion from her peers that sparked intrinsic motivation, Christine Park finally enters Journalism as a senior. Chris’s greatest passion revolves around the field of art and anime. Her role as the president of the National Art Honors Society and Visual Arts Club proves the enthusiasm she bears for artistry. As the new illustrator for the Jets Flyover, Chris is eager to dive into journalism and share her artwork and comics with a wider audience.

Hailey Tzou, Photographer / Designer

As a first-year member of the Jets Flyover staff and a DIS veteran, Hailey knows the ins and outs of school events. She loves every sport including volleyball, basketball, and futsal. Through her previous experiences in winning several SKAC tournaments, she looks forward to taking active pictures. In her free time, Hailey enjoys watching movies, hanging out with her friends, and spending time with her cats. Hoping to bring a positive impact to the team, she takes the role of a photographer, designer, and editor.

Jerome Kwon, Section Editor

Promoted to editor, Jerome Kwon enters journalism class with a heart full of hopes and an adaptable mindset. DIS teachers serve as his role models, especially ones known for their work ethic and hilarious sense of humor. Always open to fierce sociopolitical arguments, he prepares to break new ground with heavy opinion pieces. Jerome dreams of great achievements with his comrades in the DIS media program.

Kate Lee, Social Media Director

Kate ventures into her senior year as social media director of the Flyover. As someone who enjoys movies and film analysis, she immerses herself in the world of videography and cinematography. Outside the classroom, Kate enjoys playing the cello, a skill she’s cultivated since elementary school. She spends countless hours unwinding with video games alongside friends. As the school’s social media director, she crafts posts that bridge the gap between the school community and the outside world, and uses storytelling to foster connection and engagement.

Leanne Yoon, Editor in Chief

Leanne Yoon, dubbed as “Lenny” by her close friends, (finally) joins the Journalism class in her junior year as the Editor-in-Chief of the Jets Flyover. She makes up for her short stature with fiery charisma and passion. As an active leader of clubs such as Students Organizing Against Racism, Debate Club and String Orchestra, Leanne often ponders on what else she could bring to her fellow Jets. Off-campus, she shares her perspectives with an international audience in countries ranging from the United Arab Emirates to France. Leanne writes, takes photos, edits articles, and manages the Flyover.
