Rising first-graders and their families met in the Jetnasium for their inaugural Moving Up Ceremony. After the opening remarks, the kindergartners sang the ‘Count by 10 Song’, ‘The Short Vowel Song’, and ‘Macarena Months of the Year’ to showcase their learning. The string orchestra also performed a student-arranged rendition of ‘Goodbye Now’ (이젠 안녕) by 015B to commemorate the day. The graduating class then received their certificates from Mr. Jolly and celebrated by taking photos alongside family members and friends. Here are the highlights of the event.

About the Contributors

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.

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.
