Katie Zhou Receives Faculty Award at Move-Up Day

2016 May 31

The 2016 Move-Up Day Ceremony at LFA took place in the Formal Gardens on Friday, May 27th. Move-Up Day, originally called Ivy Day, is a Ferry Hall tradition that began in the early 20th century. The event celebrates the end of the school year and has grown into a full ceremony that includes giving out awards, the announcement of the winning House for the House Cup Competition, and a physical "moving up" of each grade level.

At this year's ceremony, various students received awards for showing dedication to keeping the four pillars of Lake Forest Academy: character, scholarship, responsibility, and citizenship. Katie received the Faculty Award, which is presented to the senior who has most clearly demonstrated by thought, word, and academic deed those qualities of intellect and character that mark the true scholar.

After the recognition of faculty, the student body participated in the "Move-Up" process. Seniors were invited to stand up from their seats and proceed to alumni section of the audience. Juniors then moved to the seating for seniors and the underclassmen took their new respective spots afterwards. The ceremony ended with the presentation of the Alumni Banner to the Class of 2016.
