Description

At the end of the school year, St. Luke's Upper School students and their families joined together in the Seldin Performing Arts Center for the 2021 Upper School Awards Ceremony. Friends, extended family, and the SLS community were invited to tune in via livestream. Kicking off the ceremony, Head of Upper School Liz Perry took a moment to thank the teachers, advisors, and class deans: "The student accomplishments we will recognize this evening are due in large part to your care and commitment, and that has never been more true than in this extraordinary school year when I have asked so much of you." Perry then went on to acknowledge the parents: "The awards we present tonight recognize a range of accomplishments, but one thing they have in common is character. You have raised children of character—young people who are grounded in values and who use their time and talent to make St. Luke's better. What more could we ask for? Thank you for raising these remarkable young people." After the welcome remarks, Elyse Kim '21 performed a piano solo of Yann Tiersen's "Comptine d'un autre été - L'après-midi," from the film Amelie. You can watch her performance in the video below. Awards were presented by the Class Deans, Head of Upper School Liz Perry, and Head of School Mark Davis.
