Heroes in Training P3,

Energy, excitement, and enthusiasm for school! The students in Preschool 3, Preschool 4, and Kindergarten had all these characteristics. They even had the highest participation in elementary during Fashion Week. During that week, princesses, soccer players, and different crazy hairstyles paraded around campus.

Their teachers creatively found ways to teach the students with special days like Gingerbread Man Day, Dr. Seuss Week, and Fashion

Week. Students each had their favorite memory from the year.

Preston Lee (P4) said, “I loved the Billy Goat Gruff Week because of the art we did then. Also, I loved Dr. Seuss Week while making the HAT from Cat in the Hat. The cat is always making trouble.”

Zoey Bai (P4) remarked, “I liked Gingerbread Man day, and the day we got to go to the beach because it was funny, and I had fun.”

Zhixuan Xia (P4) shared, “I liked Dress-up Week because it was so funny because everyone wore blue.”

“I liked Beach time because I love playing with sand,” said Yuhi Tago (P4).

What is your favorite special day?

“My favorite day is Friday because that is our treasure chest day!”

Ivan Chen (K)

“My favorite day was dress up week. I loved being a princess, but I don’t like being silly and doing silly things on my hair. I also loved when we went to the beach to build a ‘Foolish man house.’”

Meichen Fan (P4)

“Gingerbread man because we got to eat yummy gingerbread cookies.”

Mathis Bernier (P4)

Practicing a new song in music class, Lyn Paeck (P4), Thomas Hsu (P4), and Lucas Lee (P4) follow the actions Ms. Deborah Martin shows them. Preschool 3 practiced songs like the “Welcome Song” and “Spin the Bobbin.”

Getting ready to go to lunch, Abraham Graig (K) acts as the Sanitizer Helper for Titus Roberts (K) and the rest of the class. Each class had to follow strict SOPs due to COVID-19.

Practicing three letter words, Seth Miller (P4) writes on his paper to show his understanding. Students practiced patterns in spelling as well as holding the pencil correctly.

Claire Byun (P4) said, “My favorite day in Fashion Week was Blue Day.”

Students in P3 and P4 finished their day before lunch while kindergarteners stayed for the whole school day. P3 and P4 students worked hard on math, language arts, P.E., library, music, and chapel. Kindergarteners worked on language arts, math, chapel, P.E., music, library, art, computers, and Malay classes. Each student had their favorite subject in the day.

Lenora White (P4) said, “My favorite subject is math.”

Tago continued, “I like Show and Tell

time because I like my toys and want to show my friends.”

In the midst of learning, students also had time to play. “I like Freeplay time because I love toys, and I love playing,” said Meichen Fan (P4).

Friendship was an important part of preschool. Elise Chen (P4) said, “I like playing with Lyn and Meichen with Mag tiles and puzzles.” Zhixuan Xia (P4) said, “I like playing catch with Isaac.”

“I like to play puzzles with Preston,” said Lyn Paeck (P4).

These young students showed enthusiasm for school. Isaac Kearney (P4) said, “I love the whole day because I love doing everything in school.”

Elise Chen (P4) said, “I like music class because I love to sing.”

“I like P.E class because I can run,” remarked Lucas Lee (P4).

Students loved doing school with their friends and playing all sorts of games during recess or free play time.

Smiling and laughing P3, P4, and Kindergarten students charged through the school day ready for the next challenge.

and the Blurry line Between Work Hard, Play Hard!

The playground was quiet, the only noise that could be heard was the birds chirping. Then the first and second graders burst through their classroom doors, full of energy, and yelling to get their friends attention. Recess had started.

“I like first grade because I get to make new friends,” said Noah Tan (1).

Yiyi Zhu (1) said, “At home, I like to learn in Spelling City.” The teachers found creative ways for their students to learn online, using platforms such as Spelling City, Mathletics, and RAZ Kids.

Online school, however, was hard for everyone. Jedidja de Visser (2) said, “I like to be at school

better because I don’t like Zoom.” It was hard for students to pay attention for hours at a time when all the learning was on a screen. Online school started at 9 AM and ended at 1:20 PM for the first and second graders.

Eyes on her book, Audrey Wibowo (2) quietly reads at her desk. In second grade, students were allowed to choose an activity during the Daily 5: read to self, read to someone, listen to reading, work on writing, and word work.

Although, there were some perks to online learning. Ruka Ito (2) said, “I like that I don’t have to wake up early.” Since classes started at 9 AM and students did not have to travel to school, it meant that their mornings were more relaxed than during in-person learning.

Not only was there more free time, but since everyone had to stay at home during the MCO (Movement Control Order), it meant more family time too. Audrey Wibowo (2) said, “I can easily grab my favorite snack and have more time with my mom.”

Whether online or in-person, each student had their favorite subject. “I like writing because you can write a real or a fake story,” said Emily Joo (2). During Writers Workshop, the second graders learned how to write fantasy and informational writing.

Focusing

Sitting on the ground with her partner, Mable Lim (1) plays a math game called Bump. First graders worked on adding and subtracting fluently.

on the court, Ben Kang (2) dribbles the ball to help his team win. At recess, second graders enjoyed playing four square, soccer, basketball, and tag.

Vanmathi M Yuva Raja (2) said, “I like science because I like observing things.” In second grade, they got to do experiments such as observing mealworms’ development into darkling beetles.

But for the first and second graders, school was not all about learning in the classroom, it was also about playing hard at recess. You-En Lin (2) said, “I like playing near the big tree at recess. There is a hole in the tree that we can look at and try to find ants or other animals we haven’t seen before.”

“My favorite thing to do is swing on the swings,” said Jacob Shao (2).

“I love playing near the ocean because of the swings, and I love looking at the ocean and the boats,” said Lion Jung (2).

Outside, Mrs. Brewster blew her owl whistle, and the kids came running back to their classrooms ready to learn again. Recess had ended for the day.

Favorite Thing to learn about at school?

“I like science because we can make things.”

Sitting patiently at his desk, Isaac Tham (1) works on being attentive in order to level up on the Super Improver Wall, a behavior system used in first grade.

Patiently raising her hand, Jin Lee (2) waits for Mrs. Calah Ronzheimer to call on her. On No Uniform Day, elementary students got creative and wore fun outfits to school. Some wore their favorite outfits while others wore traditional clothing, like a Korean hanbok.

“I like History because I like China.”

elementary m adness!

A whirlwind year for third and fourth graders! Due to COVID-19, students had to adapt to both a new classroom environment while also social distancing.

Third graders explored many different skills such as reading and writing. The teachers would dedicate class time for the students

to enhance their reading skills and help them. Writing was also a significant part of the curriculum, and during writing time, students would try to create their own stories and characters. One memorable thing that Mrs. Jodi Roberts shared was, “I love when my students have their lightbulb moments. When they’ve been stuck on something for ages and I see their faces light up when they get it, it makes my day!”

In fourth grade, students expanded on many principles that they had

learned the year before.

They became masters of multiplying, dividing, and subtracting. On top of that, they also read more challenging books that helped them to think critically and make their own connections. During writing time, they wrote dozens of in-depth creative stories that they often brainstormed together.

Playing Connect-4 during recess, Solbin Kim (4), Tim Lee (4), and Zenan Zang (4) challenge each other to see who will win. Students enjoyed playing games together when they had free time.

An enjoyable activity for both grades was the Battle of the Books. Also known as BOB, students were assigned to a team and then read the assigned books. There were twenty-four books in the classroom that students had the opportunity to read during this battle. They had to read them by a certain date, and then they gathered as a team and took quizzes to earn points and win the competition. Another amusing reading task were the book clubs that took place throughout the year. David Ha (3) said, “I like reading the books because I get to know new facts about things.”

Physical Education was a significant part of the third and fourth graders’ experience in elementary school. They were both introduced to many basic skills related to soccer, baseball, basketball, and pickleball. Many of these sports included learning how to dribble and shoot the ball, how to pass properly with accuracy, how to work together as a team and communicate well, and how to properly throw a ball and swing a bat properly. The fourth graders incorporated more complex team concepts and more modified games were introduced.

Due to the restrictions of physical activity, students had to focus more on individual body control skills. These included skipping, galloping, and sliding. During lessons, the students would see how fast and slow they could move, and the zigzag and curved patterns they could make. On top of that, they also practiced jumping to gain height, jumping for distance, and how to land on either foot.

Both of these grades experienced growth and development and excelled in their classwork and other activities throughout the year!

Finishing his worksheet, Shin Choi (3) works hard in math class. Solving hard problems in class was common in third grade classrooms.

Gathering around a computer, Sophie Ko (4), Hudson Yost (4), Blake Chan (4) and Paul Willoughby (4) try to find an interesting game to play during break. Using computers was allowed if the teacher had given permission.

“I love that the first thing in the morning is just coming in and lazing around for 15 minutes! That rocks!“ exclaimed Kenya Corman (6).

Starting from sixth grade, SAT began the day in middle school. A group of students from varying grades spent the first 15 minutes of their day socializing and bonding with each other.

affects the rest of your day in a positive way,” reflected Andrew Mattson (6).

“The thing I like most about SAT in the morning is that we do fun activities. I like the way it opens my day up,” said Mia Yuan (6).

Although the new SOP rules regarding COVID-19 brought down some of what they had anticipated, the fifth and sixth graders still thoroughly enjoyed the excitement of new learning that filled each of their days.

“My favorite subject is actually the Bible class. It helps me to understand God better, and you get to know Him more. His words give me wisdom and help me to solve everyday problems. I think middle school is just more mature and more fun.

HOw can you be successful in middle school?

“It’s okay if you are not good at studying, but just work hard to get better. Don’t say that you are bad at studying when you are not even trying.”

Munching on his chips, Reuben Beasley (5) talks to Carsten Ooi (5) about his new favorite game. Despite the new SOP restrictions, students could still hang out with their friends at lunch.

Giving all her attention, Caris Pollock (6) solves question number 21 on the whiteboard. Students practiced multiplication and division with large number in Mr. Dinakaran’s math class.

You are more responsible, so you get more things. But great power comes with great responsibility,” said Peggy Cai (5).

Also sharing her favorite classes, Rheanne Lee (6) said, “My favorite subjects are Language Arts and Science. In Science, you get to learn all about the different chemicals and do experiments,

and in LA, you get to write essays and biographies. Overall, both classes are fun since you get to learn new things.”

Besides the fundamental classes such as Math, Science, and Language Arts, students also took Technology and Fine Arts classes which provided unique and fun experiences.

“I really like the Technology class because I get to do fun things like coding, and the assignments usually take a long time until they’re due,” said Titus Tan (5).

“My favorite subject is Band because we get to play instruments and play together as a band!” said Saecka Takizawa (6). Sixth grade band students learned how to care for their instruments and play well together.

The fifth and sixth graders appreciably experienced growth as they successfully transitioned from elementary school to middle school, and the key to their success, as Noah Dobson (6) said, is “to try our best and enjoy learning!”

Energetic, boisterous, creative, hardworking, and funny. Grades 7 and 8 fit this description best. With passion, they went from playing hard during break to learning in the classroom. Mr. Rufus Emmanuel said, “The growth and maturity seen over a short period of time [in 7th and 8th grade] is not like any other, and that is why it makes teaching this age group the best.”

Laughing during break time, Madison Abdulla (8), Kyra Brewster (8), Anna Kilgo (8), and Emma Emis (8) share stories about their day. Middle school students had a mid-morning break to eat a snack or talk with friends.

Even though this year was a learning curve for everyone, grades 7 and 8 coped with it well. For lunch and break time, they were allowed to play outside on alternating days with the condition that there were no sports with balls. Instead, they would play on the playground or practice gymnastics on

the bars. On days they were stuck inside during lunch, they entertained themselves, with playing cards, reading, or talking. “On lunch recess days, after the no sports SOP rules, I normally sat with my friends and talked about nerdy stuff,” said Josh Conklin (8).

Hope Crosslin (7) said her favorite subject was “Social Studies because you have an excuse to learn about stories, and when you learn about your country, you have bragging rights.”

Another unique aspect of being in middle school this year was chapel. The students alternated being online with Ms. Sierra Henderson in their A-block classrooms, with being face to face with Mr. Kirk Ronzheimer in Harbor Hall during the beginning of the year.

The SOPs limited the freedoms seventh graders were looking forward to. Keziah Ronzheimer (7) said, “The hardest part of the SOPs are not being able to stay after school.”

Tia Emmanuel (7) said, “The hardest SOP to follow is physical

distancing.” Students had to stay 1 meter away from each other. Kyra Brewster (8) said, “The hardest SOP is wearing a mask because I always forget to grab one before leaving the house.”

Being online during November was stressful for everyone, but Matthias Seevaratnam (7) found a positive in the chaos and said, “Being online means shorter school, which is good.” Being online meant that students ended school at 2:45 with little to no homework, and Wednesdays school ended at 11:15.

Ms. Rebekah Peters said, “It is special to see how everyone is growing up and becoming deeper thinkers and good debaters in class discussions.” Despite the challenges of this year, this fun group of students found ways to have fun and still grow to become better people.”

Sitting one meter apart from her classmates, Anna Chand (7) focuses on the board ready to take notes. She said, “The hardest SOP rule is social distancing.” As difficult as it was, students were required to social distance at all times during school, even during break times and lunch.

Favorite Thing to do During Break/lunch?

“One time I remember we sang ‘Happy Birthday’ thirteen times really loud during lunch because it was Audrey’s birthday! But now that we are in online school, I like to play fun songs, like ‘Hooked on a Feeling,’ or do handstands between Zoom calls.”

Keziah Ronzheimer (7)

“My favorite thing to do during break is to play sports or any kind of fun thing.”

Every semester, each student took Bible as a required class. These classes helped students grow in their faith and understand key biblical principles.

Freshmen took a different Bible class each semester. During the first semester, they learned about the Old Testament and were introduced to many concepts related to Jesus and the people of Israel. Bible 9 intended to provide in-depth stories about people from the Bible and show the students that people back then were ordinary people just like they are today. It prompted many of them to read the Bible in their own time and come to class with lots of questions that sparked conversation amongst their

classmates.

Foundations of Faith, taught by Mr. Joshua Anderson, introduced deep and insightful philosophical topics that connected the natural world and the Bible. A common theme in Bible 10 was “good versus evil”, classes spent a lot of time depicting both sides and listening to unbiased debates. Ryan Chew (10) even noted that his favorite topic was “learning the differences between good and evil.”

In junior year students took Apologetics. Much like Foundations of Faith, the material was challenging and provoked the students’ minds. Mr. Anderson created a safe space in the classroom where students could ask questions, further their faith, and deepen their understanding of the Bible.

One thing that differed from other Bible classes was the connections between science and the Bible. Using the Bible as evidence, Mr. Anderson showed students a new way to see science and the word of God together, rather than as two separate entities competing against each other.

Concentrating in Foundations of Faith, Millie Morgan (10) works on her assignment. Mr Anderson’s lessons allowed students to be creative and think critically.

Similar to the freshmen, seniors took Spiritual Disciplines and Christ and Culture. Spiritual Disciplines was taught by Mr. Kirk Ronzheimer and intended to create an environment where students were intentional with themselves and God.

In contrast to to Mr. Ronzheimers’ class, Mr. Pat Kilgo led deep discussions about pressing world issues. Mr. Kilgo shared, “I love those days where we go way off topic to make sure that the pressing issues on students’ minds are voiced and discussed.” Seniors enjoyed this space where they could speak freely and engage in honest conversation with others.

Bible was a much-needed break between challenging classes where students could further their relationships with God and reflect on their spiritual journey.

HOW has Bible helped you grow?

“I definitely grew in my faith throughout this year, and it has helped me to think through my work rather than just quickly get it done.”

Placing the jello in his mouth, Jacky Park (11) smiles from embarrassment as the class anxiously waits for his reaction. Park tastetested the jello for the class as the juniors reviewed for their Bible test.

“I grew in faith because of how much physical evidence there is about the existence of Jesus being around.”

Sue Grice (11)

“I grew in my faith by being baptized after learning more about Christ in 9th grade Bible class. My parents are both Christians, but I didn’t really know God and what He’d done.”

Students often laughed in Algebra II classes as they learned about new challenging concepts such as graphing, functions, and radicals. They expressed their critical thinking skills through masterfully solving the equations and precisely drawing exponential graphs.

Unlike Algebra II where

students learned new intriguing mathematical terms and equations, Algebra I built on theories many students already knew from previous math classes. “It was nice to go into Algebra I with some understanding of how harder problems are solved. This class has been fun in helping me develop my skills in math,” explained Popi Grous (9). The class provided an environment of growth and success.

Contrary to previous years, Statistics was offered online for

the first time through Khan Academy. “I get to go at my own pace and actually understand before moving on. Sometimes in class, it’s hard to keep up with others when you don’t understand the material before moving on,” said Jeremy Kim (12). Going into more depth, AP Statistics tackled topics like probability, least square regression, and survey types. The class was

4 taught by Mr. Pat Kilgo, and students were able to better understand material that they may have learned in Statistics.

Students who took geometry learned about the intricate properties of shapes “I think the most challenging thing I’ve experienced in Geometry has been finding the correct proofs to justify my answers. However, after looking over the notes examples that Ms. [Heidi] Keas has kindly provided, I’ve grown my way of finding the correct paths to solving simple equations and problems,” stated Jasmine Hassan (10).

From satisfaction to signs, Pre-Calculus had it all. Juniors and seniors mastered the art of manipulating unit circles and applying equations to graphs. Ms. Heidi Keas taught Pre-Calculus for the first time since joining Dalat, and even though this math class was one of the most intense classes in high school, she helped the students dive into hard topics. “The most rewarding part of teaching Precalculus is getting to teach my students from Geometry again,” revealed Ms Keas.

AP Calculus, the highest-level math class offered, often proved to be difficult due to its rigorous coursework. However, students expressed that the class was a lot easier thanks to Mrs. Sara Kearney’s positive attitude. This positive classroom environment fostered diligence and ensured that all of the students felt ready for the AP exam in May.

Thoroughly, Benjamin Wong (10) takes notes of what Mr. Pat Kilgo is teaching. These notes helped with the unit tests and helped students prepare for the AP exam in May.

Math classes left students with a sense of accomplishment and encouraged them to apply formulas in real-life situations, even if the material challenged them at first.

Listening to Ms Heidi Keas teaching, Ester Kato (10) and Caitlyn Buckland (10) focus on the new material being taught. In Geometry, the goal for students was to apply the theorems they learned to their work.

A new realm of opportunities emerged for students as they took science classes throughout the year. A new teacher to Dalat, Mr. Chad Neeley, taught Physics to the freshmen class. The freshmen often laughed and joked around with each other, especially during online school.

“One time I asked a question over Zoom and then me and Mr. Neeley just ended up talking about Marvel,” said William Rogers (9).

Working hard in Human Anatomy, Yebeen Kil (12) adds the final touches to her board game. Creating a game for the class to play helped with memorization and understanding of new concepts.

Listening carefully in Chemistry, Ray Lee (10) focuses to understand the content. Powerpoints and fill-in-the-blank worksheets helped many Chemistry students feel prepared for their tests and assignments.

Some students chose to take AP Physics to enhance the skills that they learned in Physics. Mr. Neeley revealed his favorite part of teaching AP Physics: “Revealing invisible qualities of God!”

In sophomore year, students took Chemistry. This class proved to be one of the harder classes because of the detail involved in the periodic table, stoichiometry, and the types of chemical reactions. Despite the difficulty, fun activities helped with the stress. “My favorite lab from Chemistry was when we were put into pairs to create the best DIY bubble solution by testing different properties and amounts,” explained Ruben Bahr (10).

AP Chemistry was taught online. Through regular check-ins with teachers and online

coursework, students were able to dive into challenging concepts about equilibrium, acid-bases, and partial pressure.

“The biggest challenge that I faced from taking AP Chem online is having to teach myself concepts from a textbook,” said Anisha Kaloo (11).

In Biology, students created a “baby” using randomized genes and did shark labs where they researched the different species of sharks.

Hannah Pickett (11) said, “Biology is a fun, engaging class where we learn about the world and ourselves from a biblical point of view.”

Expanding on the knowledge they learned in Biology, AP Biology students got to learn about many interesting topics such as DNA, ecology, and evolution. They enjoyed doing labs that helped them decide if they were night owls or early birds. Mrs. Sharon Bernhardt revealed that all of the AP Biology students were night owls.

“Ewwww!” squealed the Human Anatomy students as they watched each other eat the muscle fibre project that they created. Mr. Trevor Riffey incorporated fun activities into the material so that students would be successful. Both Human Anatomy classes were made up entirely of seniors, and they did lots of engaging projects where they made things or investigated other parts of the body.

Science classes included many entertaining topics that engaged the students, and they also got to participate in informative and interesting labs throughout the year.

Taking a break from learning, Seung Hwan Kim (12) puts on a nose strip to relax. Human Anatomy students also did face masks to help them destress.

As they raced against one another to win the Kahoot, the look of dedication that came from the Spanish I students’ faces was unmatched. The fast clicking, the loud voices, and the weird nicknames pretty much summed up Spanish I.

Señor Angel Guerrero ensured he made his classes entertaining and lively “with active games. I use games like Spoons, Charades, Kahoot, die games, card games, etc.”

Although the Spanish II class was much smaller in size, there was never a dull moment. Students were always learning new vocabulary. “I like the energy of my class. ” stated Evan Kuan (10).

Discussing the new vocabulary in class together, Darryl Dwumfour (10) and Keiryn Sandahl (10) work on their pronunciation. Spanish II learned complex material that proved to be difficult for some.

From Cigku Ailee Chan’s treats to the positive energy in Bahasa, classmates enjoyed learning with each other in an active classroom and covered many topics. “We’ve covered numbers, colours, foods, adjectives, and family members,” noted Arielle McIver (9).

Those who enjoyed Bahasa I took it upon themselves to take Bahasa II and learn more about the language and culture. Cigku taught them about Malaysia and Penang through numerous games and presentations.

Bahasa III was offered online, with few students taking the class. Haylee Douglas (10) said, “We do meet Cikgu on Fridays which is the best part where she will sometimes bring us Malay food or buy us freezies.” Through Teams and other interactive softwares, the students in Bahasa III thrived. Through spontaneous activities, Mandarin I students were able to dive into the new language and make connections with the material. “The first thing that we do to start off every class is we play Quizlet live, or we do bell ringer oral questions,” noted Himani Alagan (9). Students often took this

class as an opportunity to learn most of the basics about Mandarin.

Laoshi Jordan Lim helped many Mandarin II students overcome the challenges that they faced in class through going over the material multiples times. He also taught Mandarin III to students at a very high level. Many benefitted from this high rigor and high intensity.

“I had some basic knowledge in Mandarin and I was able to listen and speak. In order to improve my skills I was determined to take mandarin classes to improve my Chinese,” expressed Chloe Loh (11).

Taking a language course proved to be beneficial to many students and provided them with insights into different cultures that they had never thoroughly learned about.

exam in May with numerous timed essays and multiple choice practices.

“The skills you learn in this class are really helpful for speeches and essays even outside of class. I have learned how to write a coherent essay that has a good structure, flow, and extensive vocabulary in a relatively short amount of time,” said Lana Brewster (11).

Fun didn’t always define English classes. Essay deadlines, presentations that caused butterflies in the stomach, and hours of reading challenged many students in English classes; however, teachers still endeavored to keep the classes captivating and enjoyable.

“I really appreciate the way that Mr. [JD] Thompson makes the [AP English Language] class so fun and engaging. His silly stories, entertaining brain breaks that consist of stretching and dancing, and weekly gratitude helps to liven up the class and make it so much more enjoyable,” said Mikaya Ronzheimer (11).

In November, freshmen and sophomores participated in the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), where they stepped forward in becoming young writers as they bloomed their creativity and imagination in writing their own novellas.

“So far, NaNoWriMo month has been surprisingly exciting for me. Having the freedom to choose what to write about helps me explore my creative mindset, and it’s always so fun to read some of my friends’ novels too!” said Jasmine Hassan (10).

In each English class, students expressed different arts of language: writing both imaginative and informative essays, perusing through various genres of literature, and delivering a passionate speech. All these skills helped prepare them for futuring reading, writing, and speaking endeavors.

Fervently, Joel Kelley (12) informs the audience about parkour and shares his own experiences with it. At the end of the semester, Capstone students exhibited their hard work through giving a TED Talk in the Harbor Hall.

Dates and historical facts represent only a small portion of what social studies classes taught. Teacher endeavoured to provide students with diverse experiences and enable students to acquire different skills that they could utilize in many aspects of life, such as critical thinking, discussion skills, and essay writing.

the culture of various Asian countries.

“I find this class [Asian Studies] really interesting because unlike most history classes, we get to have guest speakers who talk about not only the past and present of the country they were in but also share the culture and their ministry there,” said Natalie Khor (10).

Though AP World History challenged students with a flooding amount of essay writing and memorization, many students chose to accept the challenges.

“My hand literally got stronger from taking AP World History. It trains our hand first with all the writing, then our brain cells next with all the information,” said Kyuhwi Han (10).

How does Social Studies Impact you?

“AP Microeconomics helps us make wiser economic choices. We learn to maximise our personal satisfaction with limited resources and money.”

Culles Mah (12)

“Learning history changes my perspective because I understand why rulers make the decisions that form the country they live in.”

Rhys Hofer (9)

“We are all fish, and the media is the water that we live in. A fish doesn’t know it is wet until it’s taken out of the water. In the same way, Media Literacy took me out of the water and helped me realize how wet I’ve been the whole time.”

Haeon Park (11)

After carefully folding the paper, Kalia Brewster (12) casts her ballot into the box. As the 2020 United States presidential election took place, the U.S. History class arranged a mock election.

Discussing with his friends, (Name) (9) writes down the factors that helped the Asian empires achieve stability and strength on the poster. Ms. Becky Keister prepared various group activities to help students review for the finals.

Holding his card, Nathan Lam (11) strolls over to Juyoung Kim (11) who has the same card as him. To encourage students to interact with various students in the class, teachers randomly assigned discussion partners.

“I took AP World History because it is a class worth trying out even though it’s hard,” said Haylee Douglas (10).

The mock election introduced the concept of democracy and let students under voting age experience the election.

“Having U.S History during the 2020 elections is the best because we get to look at current news. The mock election was a fun way to see our school’s beliefs and what would’ve

happened if we all could vote right now,” said Saidah Ly (10). AP Comparative Government students also discussed how the political concepts they’ve learned connected to the election.

“One political concept that we’ve learned is political ‘cleavages,’ which are divisions between different types or classes of people that influence how a person votes. A good example of this during the 2020 US election is that the religious are far more likely to support Trump over progressive candidates such as Biden,” reflected John Chin (11).

Commenting on the benefit of having only five people in the AP Comparative Government class, Ethan Chan (12) said, “With a small class, you have to actively engage in discussions which is nice because you get to know everyone in the class.”

As social studies classes fueled students with historical knowledge and different concepts about the government and the economy, students took a step closer to becoming well-educated future members of society.

“Pretend you are throwing a plate to the back of the room!” Ms. Goh instructed the choir as she led them in the warm-up called “Zinga Mama.” She constantly gave them pointers such as “Project, children! Use your diaphragm” or “Annunciate!” It was all just another normal day in Choir.

Jeremy Kim (12), who sings tenor, said “I joined Choir because I heard it was really fun, and Ms. Goh is super fun as well.”

Joining the soprano section circle, Ms. Goh gives the group advice to help them sing their part better. Anisha Kaloo (11), Arpita Matthew (12), Samantha Owen (10), and Kaitlyn Ladner (11) stand around the circle listening.

Keiryn Sandahl (10), who plays the euphonium in Band, said “The feeling of playing music, especially when lots of people are playing different parts that all blend together, and the feeling of the music driving while you create it is just amazing.”

In the soprano section, Lana Brewster (11) said, “Ms. Goh is really what makes choir fun. She has energy and laughter that lights up the whole class, and she really cares about improving every one of her students. She also has an uncanny ability to bring out the best in everyone.”

Everyone had their favorite warm up exercise to do. Himani Alagan (9), in the soprano section, said, “My favorite warmup is the bubble lips! It’s just so much fun to do and it really helps hit those high notes.”

Esther Yang (12), also in the soprano section, said, “My favorite warm-up is when we sing short songs in cannon. When every section sings different parts of the song, it sounds really cool when we harmonized well!” While singing the warm-ups, they would do different exercises like squats or planks. Those exercises all lead up to practicing the songs they were working on. In the first semester, they worked on “True Colors,” “Hallelujah,” and “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” Due to COVID-19, they were not able to perform in front of a live audience, so instead, they recorded them to make a professional music video. In the second semester, they sang

the songs “Phantom of the Opera,” “Words,” “Down to the River,” “Try Everything,” which was sung by the seniors of the choir, and “Reel Around The Sun,” a body percussion piece.

Mycah Winsor (12), who sang bass in the choir, said, “My favorite song is the Phantom of the Opera medley. It’s the one that we’re the best at, and it’s just super fun to sing.”

The HS band worked on the songs “How to Train Your Dragon,” “They Came Sailing,” “Santana!”, “William Tell Overture,” “Rampage,” and “Pirates of the Caribbean.” Then leading up to Christmas, they practiced “Sleigh Ride”, “O Come”, “I Wonder as I Wander”, and “Midnight in Bethlehem”.

These classes also taught the students good life skills. Alagan said, “The biggest lesson that I have learned from Choir is confidence. I feel that that is a very practical lesson because it teaches you how to carry yourself and not be discouraged by your mistakes.”

Then at 9:20, Ms. Goh dismissed her class.

Focusing on the music, Esther Tse (12) confidently plays her trumpet as the section leader. Tse played in the band for all four years of high school. Students were given the option of continuing Band, but if it did not fit in their schedule, then some of them would join the Jazz Band.

Favorite Song?

“My favorite song this year is definitely the Phantom of the Opera medley. I am not saying that it is easy, it is hard, but it helped me challenge my pitch and improved me to be a better singer. Not to mention that the melodies in the song are amazing.”

Esther Yang (12)

“My favorite song in Choir this year is ‘Hallelujah.’”

Culles Mah (12)

“My favorite song we played this year was ‘Revival March’ by Philip Sousa. I really liked it because it was based on one of my favorite hymns, Holy, Holy, Holy.”

Creativity and freedom blossomed throughout all of the visual arts classes. Foundation Art, the first level of art, was an introduction to many basic art principles. Although every high school student had to take one fine arts credit, students who took Foundation Art said it was well

worth it. Students who took the class got to use ink pens and colored pencils to create patterns and draw portraits of themselves that were hung up outside the Harbor Hall. One unit that took multiple weeks to complete was wood carving. Cullno Mah (9) said, “The most fun thing is probably seeing the progress and the journey and the new talent I’ve developed in wood carving. I just can’t wait to see the finished product from my precise and accurate wood scraping.”

Using tools and his skills, Kyle Tang (9) masters the art of carving wood. At the end of the year, students completed wood carving as their final project.

Listening to feedback, Enson Tang (10) works with Mrs. Nichols to improve his piece. Through helpful criticism, students flourished as the year finished.

What inspired you to take art?

“I took it because I enjoyed art and wanted to hopefully improve.”

Anna Phuah (10)

“I was inspired by my sister, Alix, to take art and all the beautiful pieces from past art students.”

give each other advice when needed. Working closely with each other, they grew significantly in their skills using paint and other utensils.

Master Studio, which was the next step up, allowed students to be creative and explore new realms of art. Usually, Mrs. Liza Nichols gave the class the materials to create with and then students could put their innovation to work. This class challenged students to think outside the box and fostered an environment of growth and appreciation for art. After completing this class, students were offered the chance to dive further into art application and take Advanced Placement Art.

The most advanced and rigorous art class was Advanced Placement Art. Students who took this class had a deep love and passion for art and completed a portfolio of pieces throughout the year in preparation to submit their pieces and complete their write-ups about their art. In this class, after they finished a work of art, they had critique days. On these days, everyone would bring a treat of some kind to be shared, while the students and Mrs. Nichols reviewed the art pieces.

An elective class that many students chose to take was Graphic Design. Mrs. Lydia Roberts taught the class and said that “[she] loved seeing students go from no design skills to creating some really cool projects.” Through intricate projects such as designing brochures, students learned how to piece graphic elements together and the importance of typography and its effects on human emotions. Kris Chong (12) revealed that the skills he learned in Graphic Design helped him ”make [himself] look more attractive on Instagram by utilizing Photoshop skills.”

Art left students with a feeling of satisfaction and happiness as they saw their hard work come to life on paper or the computer.

It was an ordinary Monday in Fitness I, and the weekly Rock, Paper, Scissors tournament was in session. Each student was competing for all the glory that this game would bring them. Some students were lucky, while others lost big time.

Bennett McIver (10) said, “I have won the championship once and have been a finalist on two other occasions.”

“I have never won a Rock, Paper,

One of the three students in HS P.E. in the first semester, Wayne Khor (11) focuses on keeping the ball in the air. Students in P.E. got to learn lots of different skills from many different sports.

Getting ready for a fitness lesson, Kalia Brewster (12) and Julia Jang (9) get out their notes. At the beginning of in-class Fitness days, Mr. van would start the class with a meme. Brewster said, “Mr. van’s memes are a fun start to the class.”

Scissors championship. Not even close,” bemoaned Taylor Johnson (11).

Fitness I consisted of Crossfit workouts on Tuesday and Thursday with the help of Mr. Casey Morgan, learning times with funny memes and Rock, Paper, Scissors games with Mr. Brendan van Rensburg on Monday and Wednesday, and fun sports games on Friday. Unfortunately, at the beginning of the year, the SOPs were very strict on outdoor activities, so the students had to do learning in the classroom, then go home and do workouts by themselves.

Some students, like Yong-Yu Huang (11), enjoyed this new routine. Huang said, “I definitely prefer to do workouts on my own.”

On September, 7 the government allowed

What Type of Workout do you prefer?

“I prefer workouts by myself because I don’t like the pressure of having to do it with a whole class, although it sometimes helps because it helps you work your hardest.”

Esmarie De Jager (11)

“I preferred to do the workouts in class as they motivate me more and are well structured.”

Bennett McIver (10)

“In class, there are many pieces of equipment available that I do not have at home like a tire or weights; [the hardest workout was] when we had to bear crawl, run, go down the stairs, run, run up the stairs, tire flip, and do it again and again and again. It was my first time flipping a tire, so I was incredibly out of breath once I finished.”

Nicole Khor (10)

Ready to do their next at-home workout, the Fitness 1 class smiles as Mr. nan takes a screenshot. When online, the teachers had to get creative and make up workouts that everyone could do at home. Kalia Brewster (12) said, “Online fitness was sometimes difficult because you couldn’t interact with others, but Zoom made it possible to see each other working out and added to the camaraderie of the class.”

outdoor activity, and Fitness went back to normal. Many of the students preferred doing workouts as a class. But not all the classes were just workouts, students were exposed to a variety of exercises.

Señor Angel Guerrero, the P.E. instructor, teaches the class how to juggle a soccer ball as Kyuhwi Han (10) attempts it in the background. Señor Guerrero wisely remarked, “Play is the best way of learning. P.E. has a lot of play, and I’m thankful for such a wonderful gift from God.”

“My favorite activity for the workout days is running,” said Haeon Park (11). “I admit that I am not a great runner, and I don’t have good stamina, which is why I like workouts involving a lot of running. They drive me to really push hard.”

Marissa Yost (11) said, “We’ve flipped tires a couple of times, and that’s been fun!” Others liked more unique workouts like this one.

“My favorite activity to do in our fitness class is when we did the MONKEY dance because it increased our fitness but was not a very hard thing to do,” explained Esmarie De Jager (11).

McIver said, “My favorite workout was the day we did a yoga and Just dance, the two ideal physical improvement workouts.”

Students could also choose to take PE. In the first semester, only three students were enrolled in this class: Liam Kuhns (12), Wayne Khor (11), and Kyuhwi Han (10). Han described their funny class motto, “P.E. isn’t about physical education; it’s about learning skills to show off.” Ten seniors enjoyed P.E. in the second semester, playing games together every day. Either competing in an intense game of Rock, Paper, Scissors, doing tire flips, learning how to show off, or exerting themselves in Just Dance, the students in Fitness and P.E. had lots of fun together despite the SOP restrictions.

Watching their steps, Technical Theatre students cautiously carried amps and instruments down the stairs to the Vintage chapel.

“I chose to do Technical Theatre because I thought it would be a really fun class to take since it would be hands-on. I also was very curious about the behind-the-scenes of movies and plays so this class has really opened my eyes to the fact that the performers aren’t the only ones working hard! The most interesting thing that I have learned in Technical Theatre is about how stages are set up before a show is done on stage with all of the microphones, monitors, and soundboards which were really fun,” said Elizabeth

Over in a different elective, Entrepreneurship, students learned all about starting a business and taking financial risks for higher profits.

“I chose to take [Entrepreneurship] because I think it is a practical class that I can use in the future when I start a business or want to express my creativity,” said Aron Yamada (11).

On the second floor of the Harbor, the mouth-watering savory scent of freshly cooked dishes filled the hallway as Home Economics students learned how to do basic cooking.

“The best part of Home Ec class is you get to chitchat with Ms. [Mary] Geiman and other talkative classmates about any random topics while we cook and share food,” said Alice Yang (12).

Classes such as Industrial Arts and Computer Science also offered a new genre of learning and provided students with distinctive lessons.

With the sizzling sound and the flavorsome smell filling the room, Adelynn Tan (12) carefully stirs the pan to caramelize onions for the breakfast casserole in Home Ec.

Adjusting the AUX level on Channel 1, Joshua Emmanuel (10) and Hailey Hofer (10) set up the stage for worship. In Tech Theatre I & II, students learned everything about the behind-stage setups.

“It was really interesting learning how to do basic coding in Computer Science, and making our own games also made this class more entertaining,” said Daewon No (10).

“I took Industrial Arts because I’ve heard that this class was very interactive and fun. The best part about the class so far was that we got to plan and make our own projects that we could take home,” commented Sumin Lim (12).

The privilege of choosing courses to take signified becoming a high schooler. Besides fundamental classes such as English and math, students had the opportunity to pursue their passions and employ their inquisitiveness through taking courses that matched their interests. These elective classes added a unique flavor to the high school experience.

Biting his lips nervously, Elliot Stephen (10) carefully puts down his self-made robot on the stage. At the end of the semester, the Robotics class held Battle Bots where students competed against each other with the robots they made.

What Makes online classes different?

“An advantage of having an online class is that there is no teacher in-person to check on you. A disadvantage is time-zone difference when communicating with the teacher and other students. “

Yumin Kim (12)

“Online classes train me to be more independent with my work and make use of my time well. I like it because I can plan ahead and adjust my workload for the day.”

“Not having a teacher is definitely a struggle, but at the same time, this allows you to it to stay motivated by yourself and develop time management skills.”

Playing Hard

INTRAMURAL PARTICIPATION

Dribbling away from Popi Grous (9), Enson Tang (10) tries to find a way to penetrate the Red Hawk’s defense. Many players improved their dribbling skills, even in the few games they got to play.

“It was an experience unique to COVID-19!” Chika Tsumagari (10) said about the intramural program that ran in September. In response to COVID-19, Dalat could not compete against the its usual opponents this year. To make up for this, the PE department introduced the intramural program, which allowed students to remain active and healthy.

Dalat offered intramural sports during the first semester for both soccer and volleyball, and both middle school and high school had their own leagues.

Halle Yost (6) stated, “We played a game against a different team every week.” The teams each got to play a game per week, and very few teams had a repeat matchup.

“I have gotten better and enjoyed learning how to play soccer, and it was fun,” said Axy Lyon (5). Students were able to learn how to play their sports and improve their skills in a fun environment.

“My most favorite part of intramurals was playing and being part of the team. It was fun seeing the team come together despite our different experience levels and grades,” said Myra

Lim (9). Many players appreciated the diversity that the intramural program reflected. It included everyone who wanted to play, and the teams did not discriminate against players with less experience; quite a few teams even had first-time players. The teams also had mixed genders to increase the diversity.

“My favorite part about intramural was that I got to play soccer with my friends,” said Madison Abdulla (8). Intramurals

allowed friends to see each other after class.

“My favorite part of intramurals was being on a team with all different grades, and meeting new people that I hadn’t known before,” said Lana Brewster (11). Players also got the opportunity to make new friends through their teams.

Amidst all the changes that COVID-19 brought about, intramural sports proved to be a good change. Everyone enjoyed the opportunity to play sports, no matter their age or experience level. More importantly, they enjoyed the opportunity to interact with others outside of the classroom.

Racing down the sideline, Hailey Hofer (10) tries to steal the ball from Joshua Yeoh (12). The teams enjoyed the variety that the intramural program offered them. All the teams had a mix of grades and skill levels represented in the players.

WHAT DID YOU THINK OF BEING AN INTRAMURAL CAPTAIN?

"As a team captain, it was fun to see different people enjoying the game of soccer. Though the teams were mixed, we still worked hard together but, importantly, had fun no matter what the score is."

Over-hand serving the ball, Jacky Park (11) starts the rally on the volleyball court. Many of the experienced players enjoyed showing off and teaching new skills to the other players on their teams.

“Being a team captain was a lot of fun! My team made it really easy to strategize quickly before a game because they were all willing to do whatever the team needed. I’m glad I was able to help my team in the way I could!”

- Joel Kelley (12)

“Being a team captain wasn’t easy for me since I’m not as familiar with the positions as some of my teammates. Thankfully, we worked together and encouraged each other well along the way, so everything went smoothly.”

Going to school during a pandemic proved to be a challenge for everyone, but the dorm students faced the unique challenge of trying to navigate the pandemic away from home. The dorm students worked hard to get through any and all hardships faced.

“There haven’t been a lot of changes other than the fact that we’re missing a few kids,” said Kyu Hwi Han (10). Even with SOP restrictions, dorm students managed to not let it bother them and made the most of their situation. The lower number of

in-country dorm students, however, meant the school year started with only Ziemer and Jaffray Dorms open.

The dorms sat at the back corner of the campus, right behind the gym. Uncle Brian and Aunt Val Weidemann served as the dorm parents for Jaffray, and Uncle Keith and Aunt Rachelle Henderson were the dorm parents for Ziemer.

Fall Break marked the opening of the final dorm, Jackson dorm. Aunt Debby and Uncle Tom Cura served as the dorm parents for Jackson. The

Carefully aiming their Nerf guns, Grace Bae (11) and Jack Cura (10) play with their dorm family on Christmas Day. Due to travel restrictions, many dorm students had to stay in the dorms over Christmas break. Dorm parents did their best to make Christmas special for these students.

reopening of Jackson was timed well with dorm students making it back into the country after having started the year in the STEP program.

“I like the bond that is created as a dorm family,” Haeon Park (11) said about her favorite part of being a dorm student. Constant interaction with dorm siblings served as one of the most unique parts of being a dorm student, which led to dorm students feeling a strong bond between them and their dorm siblings. This bond felt closer to a family bond than a friend bond.

“Another benefit [of dorm life]

is that it prepares you for college,” stated Caleb Jun (9). Living in the dorm was great preparation for college dorm life because it not only prepared them to live away from parents, it equipped them with the ability to deal with other people their age who were also experiencing separation from their family.

Though COVID-19 changed the year, the dorm students made the most of it by focusing on the positives of the year: the community created in the dorms and the benefit living in the dorms will have on their future.

“Christmas will always be my favorite tradition because of all the memories I get to make with my dorm family.

Jaffray Dorm lives for Christmas decorating. Once that begins, the traditions all pile up: stealing white elephant gifts, baking cookies for our teachers, getting super into our DAB routine, and arguing about the better gingerbread house.”

-Joycelyn Fung (10)

“The dorm retreat is my favorite dorm tradition since it is a time where we can really bond with the people in the dorms and also meet new people.”

-Jimin Park (12)

“My favorite dorm tradition in Jackson dorm is having a gathering every Wednesday and Sunday night. Because on Wednesday night, Aunt Debby would bake or cook treats for us, and on Sunday night, we meet for dorm devotions, and I like it because it keeps me in good shape for my spiritual life.”

-Grace Bae (11)

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DORM TRADITION? WHY?

Posing for a picture, Ha Jin Kim (7), Sieon Park (12), Grace Bae (11), and Onyou Kim (12) get ready for the drive from the airport in Kuala Lumpur to the dorm. Wearing hazmat suits and quarantining in Paradise Hotel for two weeks were two of the many strict SOP guidelines dorm students had to follow to enter the country.

Smiling and flipping her sausages, Sieon Park (12) enjoys cooking in the dorm kitchen. Dorm students enjoyed access to many of the facilities in the dorm and around the school.

TO TOUCH A LIFE

Dalat offered a mentoring program to any student who wanted a mentoring relationship. Students signed up for the program by asking Mr. Ronzhimer to pair them up with a mentor or directly asking the teachers with whom they felt comfortable.

Students signed up for the program for several reasons; some for class, some for a desire to learn life lessons and good influence from the mentor, and some to develop themselves as a person.

Joel Kelly (12) said, “I signed

up for mentoring because all my older friends had graduated, and I knew I needed an older, wiser influence in my life. I also signed up because I wanted to get to know Mr. Ronzheimer better because he’s a great guy, and, since we’re both pretty similar, I figured we could help each other.”

“I signed up for mentoring because I wanted to become a better person. My mentor gives me good advice for me whenever I ask questions related to my improvement,” said Sean Park (12).

Although students had different expectations before they took mentoring, the sessions became more vulnerable, comfortable, and relaxing as mentors and students figured out life together.

“Mentoring is a lot more chill than I expected. It’s not so much that there are certain topics that we have to cover so much as it is discussing whatever is relevant at the time, like any difficulties or opportunities that have come up that week,” expressed Abby Owen (12).

All students who participated in mentoring found it beneficial.

The mentor guided the conversations, discussed, and helped in many areas such as studies, life, faith, and relationships. Having a mentor brought different impacts on students overall. Some students learned to be more flexible and  to look at things from various perspectives, while other students felt a need to live in the moment, be more positive, and appreciate things around them.

Students and mentors both benefitted from these relationships as they were able to learn and growth together throughout the year.

Eyes fixed on Ms. Bethany Weidemann, Dorothy Koay (12) and Zoey Ong (12) share their week while eating lunch. Students could be by themselves in mentoring or pair themselves with close friends.

With passion, Mr.Terry Franceschi shares his life experiences with Alexis Yew (11). Students had opportunities to learn valuable life lessons and learned to look at things from various perspectives.

BENEFITS OF MENTORING

“Reliability was the most helpful thing about having a mentor; I could go to my mentor whenever I had something good or bad going on.”

-Yumin Kim (12)

“The most helpful thing about having a mentor is knowing that they are continually praying for me and having them give me great practical advice about college, which is helpful being a senior.”

-Zoey Seevaratnam (12)

“It was helpful just having someone to talk to about anything and knowing you’re in a safe place to open up and be honest and have someone with more life experience to walk with you in that.”

-Mycah Winsor (12)

Giggling, Mr. Kirk Ronzheimer shares his personal story in the past with Ethan Chan (12). Mentoring offered a relaxed time where students and teachers could open up and be vulnerable.

food for life

Penang is known as the food capital of Malaysia. The food reflects the different cultures influenced by Penang’s history as a trading port. People can experience traditional Malay, Chinese, and Indian dishes and food from other countries such as Western countries, Thailand, Korea, and Japan in hawker centers. Many students enjoyed eating at hawker centers in Penang since they provided delicious meals at low prices. Hawker centers were easy to access in public, filled with unique local dishes and sweet desserts.

Seniors experienced the privilege of going off-campus for lunch for a limited time. Due to COVID 19, students went out only a few times following the SOP rules. Still, off-campus lunch gave students time to bond with their friends while enjoying delicious food from different cultures. Many students preferred to go to stalls nearby school, but some went further places to other Tanjung Bungah stalls.

“I’ve only been to three places for senior lunch, but my favorite was the Cottiny Cafe as they have

really delicious bingsu and kimbaps,” said Dorothy Koay (12).

Students’ opinions varied differently on what their favorite restaurant was. “I don’t necessarily have one favorite restaurant in Penang, but I do prefer specific restaurants for each different type of food. For example, if I crave pasta, I enjoy eating at Blue Reef in Straits Quay or Wheeler’s in Georgetown. I like Spades or Flip Burger for burgers, Knife and Fork for some good rice and meat meals, stalls for local food, and China House in Georgetown for

dessert,” commented Haeon Park (11).

Several students picked SAB (Sri Ananda Bahwan) and stalls in Hillside as their favorite place to eat.

Although students had different perspectives on food in Penang, the diverse culture made the food unique. Having many kinds of food showed the multicultural society of Penang, to which many students could relate regarding to their identity. The school cafeteria’s food reflects the students’ diverse background, providing various food from different cultures, selected with love and care.

While enjoying the cafeteria’s food, Kolaya Ronzimer (12), Kalia Brewster (12), Alix Stuart (12), Abby Owen (12), and Lydia Neely (12) spend lunchtime chatting and catching up with friends. Lunchtime was a great opportunity to socialize and bond with each other.

Gently closing her eyes, Yewon Lee (7) bites into a dumpling from her lunch box. All students were offered food in the cafeteria but also had a choice to bring their own.

“My favorite food is assam laksa. It’s an acquired taste, but I love the complexity of flavors in this dish.”

-Alexis Yew (11)

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE FOOD?

“My favorite local food is more of a dessert. I really, really, really, really, really like cendol! It’s just so sweet and yummy, and it makes me happy.”

-Himani Alagan (9)

“Even though I like all kinds of food, and I can’t choose between them, my favorite local food is chicken rice.”

-Culles Mah (12)

Eyes open wide, Sumin Lim (12) is ready to take his first bite of the chicken. The cafeteria’s food contained various foods, from classic American meals to Chinese and Korean cuisine.

Working Hard

“Dalat is a unique and dynamic school community that finds a special place deep in your heart,” Mrs. Jacki Steinkamp said, trying to find a single phrase to define Dalat. The staff at Dalat were passionate and dedicated to every aspect of their jobs; they also enjoyed the work environment and community created at Dalat.

“The relationships with students and staff have been my favorite part of working at Dalat,” said Mrs. Lori Horton, the HR assistant. Staff loved making connections with others.

Nurse Jan Hogan said, “My favorite part of working at Dalat is that my job as nurse is a ministry to students, staff, and national staff. I can use my position as nurse to build bridges with people in special ways. My hope is to make an impact on their lives for eternity, not just put a bandaid on a wound.”

This love for people drove the staff to work hard not only during school hours but after, as well. Though 2020-2021 had limited opportunities for extracurricular involvement, many of the teachers

jumped at any opportunity to serve students in this way, from intramural sports to X-block activities, like Drama Club and Jazz Band.

New teachers also noticed the loving community of Dalat. Mrs. Grace Riffey, a new middle school English teacher, stated, “Everyone is so welcoming and helpful. They have made the move and transition so easy and enjoyable.” Many teachers had this attitude, even if they came to Penang late in the year due to travel restrictions.

While there are a lot of positives to working at Dalat, this year has

brought about the new, unique challenge of online school.

“Going online is the most challenging [part of working at Dalat]. I miss seeing everyone in person and all the fun after-school activities,” said Mrs. Tammi Yost. Staff and students alike felt the strain of weeks of online school; however, everyone still worked hard from home.

While online learning presented a unique struggle for teachers, they focused on the positives and remained passionate about and dedicated to their jobs.

Looking down at Jeta Anderson’s (10) math paper, Ms. Hexen Ong helps solve the equations. Students had the opportunity to visit their math teachers during X-Block to ask questions and have a space to work in quiet.

Pointing for emphasis, Ms. Ha-Young Kong goes over test corrections with her seventhgrade Social Studies class. Teachers emphasized learning course material for the benefit of learning, not just for the grade.

“My husband and I chose Dalat because we were looking for a strong community, and we found that here.”

-Mrs. Grace Riffey

WHY DID YOU CHOSE TO WORK AT DALAT?

“A miracle! Moving to Penang, our children needed to be educated. The opportunity came about for me to work at the school. This was 15 years ago!”

-Mrs. Lydia Roberts

“I was living and teaching in East Malaysia and began looking for a Christian school to send my children to. In that search, I saw that Dalat was hiring a Learning Support teacher, and ... here I am!”

-Mr. Jason Hamilton

Working at his computer, Mr. J.J. Davis sits in the PE office with the other PE teachers. Many teachers stayed on campus after school to work when campus was open.

NEW LIFESTYLE

Due to the restrictions caused by COVID-19, students went back and forth between studying online and in school. When students were attending school in person, the school tried hard to have students studying in a safe environment by following the rules.

When  the  students came back to campus, they faced the SOP guidelines: teachers  equipped with thermometers, tables, and chairs marked with big Xs, and desks placed a meter away from each other. Everyone on the campus

hid half of their faces under their masks, and they could not participate in most usual extracurricular activities.

“Students, remember to stay one meter apart!” Mr. Beau Abdulla reminded the group of students as he walked around the waiting area after school. Social distancing and wearing masks became the new normal life due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so teachers often helped students adapt by continuously giving them reminders.

Students found social distancing challenging

since, after months of online school, students longed to spend time with their friends being close with each other. Students also found wearing masks most of the time (except lunch) tough.

“I feel bad because I don’t like wearing masks,” said Titus Roberts (K). “I’m sad about the virus being here. I feel sad because I don’t like to do [social distancing].”

In this hard time, adapting to new changes, students and staff still encouraged each other by showing gratitude and appreciation.

“It’s true that social distancing and wearing masks in this humidity is frustrating and sad for everyone,” reflected Jiho Jang (9), “but if we don’t follow these rules, the situation will only get worse. The best thing we can do is to follow these rules with obedience and hope that this pandemic will have an end.”

Students went through a loss and  felt  disappointment facing the SOP rules every day. However, they respected the decision from the MOE (Malaysia of Education) and worked as a community to follow the rules.

Reaching his arm forward, Mr. Angel Gurreo takes the temperature of Yong-Yu Huang (11). All students and staff were required to check their temperature when they arrived at the school in the morning.

Laughing at a joke that Nicole Khor (10) made, Joycelyn Fung (10) continues their daily conversation. Students needed to wear the masks at all times at school except during lunch.

“Wearing masks is a tedious job for everyone, but at least we don’t do online school anymore.”

-Erica Shin (10)

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT SOP RULES?

“I am not gonna lie, social distancing was tough at the beginning, but now that I’ve been social distancing with my friends for a while, I think I like it better than before social distancing was a thing.”

-Amy Park (9)

“KEEP

Hands open wide, Yuhi Tago (P4) takes a step forward in the music class led by Ms. Deborah Martin. The SOPs required everyone to cooperate, and younger students distanced themselves.

CALM, AND WEAR MASK.”

-Yoseph Yang (10)

With a big smile on his face, Mr. Kit Chin tries to stay still as Maggie Koay (11) and Adelynn Tan (11) tie his hair for him. The juniors spent two days on campus cleaning under the white tables and painting old walls for their Servathon.

Laughter filled the air as students chattered with one another while they ate lunch. Once students started finishing their meals, a group of students walked around the cafeteria—from table to table—carrying an icebox and a basket filled with snacks. Unlike previous classes, the juniors got the opportunity to sell snacks during lunch.

With SOP restrictions due to COVID-19, the Junior Class Store had to be flexible and creative in order to find ways to earn money. The restrictions prevented them from selling snacks after school, so the store did not operate for a while. However, they finally started running the store once they started selling “Party Packs.”

“Party Packs are delivery party packages that can be used for birthdays or any classroom celebrations for all divisions in the school. It is mostly used by the elementary school,” explained Juyoung Kim (11).

“Parents aren’t allowed to bring snacks into campus,” Yannick Theriault (11) further explained. “This means we sometimes get to visit cute little elementary kids in their classrooms as we sing them happy birthday and deliver hot dogs, juice, ice-cream, and toys. They have such contagious smiles and love being greeted by the ‘big’ kids.”

Soon the store started selling breakfast in the mornings and snacks during the 10-minute break time between B and C block and eventually during lunch, too.

“It was great, to be honest, since that took some financial stress off of our shoulders,” said Yong-Yu Huang (11), president of the junior class.

As the juniors officially operated the store, they enjoyed experiencing various aspects. “What I like about operating the store is making new connections with people I wouldn’t have thought of talking to!” said Helen Jang (11), the store manager.

Even in times of difficulty, the juniors tried their best to make the most of their opportunities.

Squatting down, Joseph Yun (11) and John Chin (11) focus intently on the table as they scrape the stains underneath. The juniors held their Servathon, where friends and family donated money to the class in exchange for the juniors serving the community, in December Through this opportunity, they raised RM54,346.94.

WHAT ARE YOUR FUTURE HOPES FOR THE STORE?

Looking through her stack of cards, Esmarie De Jager (11) double-checks to make sure that she wrote down the right information for her candy grams as Paul Pham (11) fills out his. Students had the opportunity to order candy grams that the Junior Class Store would deliver, so many students gathered around the cafeteria tables during lunchtime to send each other these treats for Christmas.

“I really want to start selling after school once the pandemic is over. I’m excited for the JSB and After Sneak preparations.”

- Emilia Park (11)

“I hope we’ll do good and go on a good sneak.”

- Tawan Teekaariyapak (11)

“Despite these tough times, I hope that our store can continue their hard work in finding new solutions to earning money for the class!”

- Ryan Chan (11)

Making Leaders

Amongst the busy, hectic school schedule, students enjoyed a break from their schoolwork during retreats. This was true for the student government members attending the Leadership Retreat on August 28, even though the retreat differed from other years. Instead of taking place off campus, the retreat took place in the dorm building.

During this retreat, Mr. Beau Abdulla, Mrs. Claudia Tse, and the class sponsors helped guide the new leaders for the year.

“They reminded all of us how leadership is about actively getting involved and being the first ones to do the job, not given directions and expecting others to follow,” said Yong-Yu Huang (11).

The students also spent time discussing ideas with one another on becoming better leaders and took this chance to get to know each other better.

“It was very helpful to listen to other ExCom members in the same position because it gave me new ideas and ways to improve this year as a secretary,” said Jia Yi Sim (12).

“The retreat was helpful in that it really reinforced my understanding of the responsibility that I had as a leader. My favorite part of the retreat was being able to connect with my fellow Excom members and PAL representatives of my grade and getting to know them better,” said DJ Yost (9).

Another retreat that took place was the Leadership Development class retreat. This retreat took place in the Ziemer dorm both semesters.

According to Mr. Kirk Ronzheimer, the teacher of the Leadership class and the high school’s Spiritual Life

Director, “Leadership Development class was designed to have time to allow students to spiritually lead ministries on campus, like chapels, SEW’s, mentoring, and other events.”

They started the first semester retreat on the beach as they reflected and asked God for His guidance. The class also enjoyed their time off school by playing group bonding games and eating delicious food cooked by their parents.

These retreats not only allowed students to skip school, but they also educated the students to help them grow into strong leaders.

Eyes closed, Mycah Winsor (12) hums to a tune as he plays the guitar. The Leadership Development class took some time together, outside of school, to bond with one another and God in a stress-free environment.

With a wide smile on her face, Kyuhwi Han (10) enjoys her conversation with Nicole Khor (10) as they eat their bowl of ice-cream soft-serve. ExCom members of all grades attended the Leadership Retreat to learn and plan for the year ahead.

“My favorite part was definitely when I got to meet with other presidents for leadership training. I learned a lot in that session and it was really cool.”

- David Kilgo (10)

WHAT DID YOU ENJOY MOST AT THE RETREAT?

“We did the trust fall, we did worship, and we did one-on-one quality bonding time—I found this as my favorite activity.”

- Jared Douglas (12)

“It was fun because you got the chance to talk to people you don’t usually get the chance to talk to.”

With all their might, Juyoung Kim (11) and Yannick Theriault (11) jump high into the air, competing to see who was better at the Irish kick. ExCom members enjoyed spending time with one another and learning about ways to become better leaders.

Getting ready to hit the ball, Yebeen Kil (12) pulls her cue back as Sean Park (12) and Sieon Park (12) watch. On Senior Sneak, students enjoyed the many facilities Angsana provided, including the pool table.

On March 12, the seniors entered Harbor Hall to attend their class meeting. The sponsors informed the seniors that they were trying on graduation gowns to confirm their measurements. However, once the meeting started, Mr. JD Thompson and Ms. Mary Geiman entered the hall in their tourist outfits. Once the seniors saw them, they started whispering amongst themselves.

“No way… Sneak?” whispered Sumin Lim (12).

Instead of collecting measurements, the sponsors surprised the seniors by announcing that

they were going on Sneak in 48 hours.

“Honestly, I didn’t expect that we would be able to go on a Sneak, so it was a really nice surprise when they announced it,” said Annie Choi (12).

When the day finally arrived, the seniors met at the Angsana Hotel’s lobby where their sponsors and the hotel employees greeted them. They received a lei and a gift basket that came with a foam water blaster and some snacks.

“I was very excited when I first got to the hotel lobby. Seeing all the welcome presents from the

Sneaky

sponsors and other classmates dressed up as tacky tourists really made me look forward to the rest of the week,” said Alice Yang (12).

Their schedule consisted of morning Transition Retreat sessions, class bonding outdoor activities, and free time.

“The sponsors planned group activities that required us to work together and allowed us to get wet,” explained Mandy Liao (12).

The pool table was a popular entertainment option during free time. “I liked playing on the pool

table with friends. I got addicted to it, and I played every day,” Seung Hwan Kim (12) said.

On the other hand, other students enjoyed swimming in the hotel’s swimming pools. “Our times in the pool were my favorite experiences during Sneak,” said Ziyu Moey.

Throughout their school year, the seniors didn’t have many opportunities to make memories and spend time with one another. They had to give up on a lot of “senior activities” due to COVID19. However, Sneak enabled them to spend time together and grow closer to one another.

Looking around for more trash, Seung Hwan Kim (12) holds the bag for his group. For the Senior Sneak service project, the seniors cleaned up the beach in front of the resort.

“One of my key memories was when I got to sit at the beach and stare at the glowing night stars while bonding with my friends. “

-Min-Song Ko (12)

WHAT DID YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT SNEAK?

“The thing that I enjoyed most out of Sneak is just us getting time off from things. The changes that we’ve faced because of the MCO was much, so it was nice to just have a break from all of it.”

-Ziyu Moey (12)

“My favorite thing about Sneak was the bonding time that we got to have, as well as spending time with people I wouldn’t usually hangout with. The other favorite thing was the buffet!”

-Jared Douglas (12)

After roasting her marshmallow, Annie Choi (12) tries to cool it a bit before adding it to her s’more. The seniors got to make s’mores on the beach as one of the many fun activities the sponsors planned.

Focusing on her paper, Arpita Mathew (12) works through a quiz that emphasizes the importance of reading directions. The Senior Transition Retreat had many hands-on activities to keep the seniors engaged throughout the sessions.

WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON YOU LEARNED?

“The most important lesson I learned during the Senior Transition Retreat was to cherish and reconcile with the people we have here in order to leave well. We shouldn’t be afraid to reach out to people to talk if it will help resolve some differences between us.”

-Mandy Liao (12)

As he sorts through cards in order to narrow them down, Kevile Dolie (12) decides which life values he cares about most. The Senior Transition Retreat tackled issues beyond just what to expect in college.

“We need to make the most of every opportunity we have here at Dalat and make the most of the experiences we get with our friends and family. Cherishing every moment and staying present is important because we say goodbye to Dalat.”

-Meredith

Johnson (12)

“In the Senior Transition Retreat, I realized the importance of making a plan and setting up boundaries for myself before hand.”

GROUPS GROUPS

Soaking in all the cuteness of the dogs around him, Darryl Dwumfour (10) helps to wash a dog at the 4Paws service day. Students enjoyed this time as a way to serve the community.

John Kim (12) said, “I’m really enjoying learning how to take matters into our own hands such as planning, recruiting people, and preparing for events without the normal amount of help from adults we would get. It shows room for growth in everyone.”

This diverse group of students bonded together, despite being in these different sections. Learning about how to serve other people and look outside of our own interests was something Dalat prioritizes and something the students learned to cherish through their work of serving others, even given the challenges of working within the SOPs of the year.

Lexia Johnson (9) said, “The Student Impact Club lets me talk to upperclassmen more than I usually would, and I have really enjoyed that this semester.”

“Taking part in the Student Impact Club is such a rewarding experience as I get to learn and take part in bringing God’s love to the people in need, especially the refugee children that I am working for with my team,” said Zoey Ong (12).

Wrapping up the lunch period, groups pulled their final plans together and felt satisfied with the work they got done during the short 45 minutes. Each student walked out of the Vintage Chapel feeling productive and excited to see how all the hard work pays off and serves other people.

While eating their lunch, DJ Yost (9), Isaac Beaman (9) and Ha-Eun Jeon (9) listen to their group leader for instructions. Students talked about all their tasks within the lunch period so that they would be on the same page for the following week.

IMPACT CLUB

Making their way down to the Vintage Chapel, students from all grades prepared for the weekly Student Impact Club meeting. With the trays of lunch in their hands, they all found a spot to sit down so that the meeting could begin. Mr. Beau Abdulla, leader of the Student Impact Club, began with a prayer and introduction into what everyone would be doing that Tuesday afternoon.

After a brief discussion between the leaders and students, everyone broke up into their different groups: animals, fundraising, refugees, orphans, and the homeless. Each group was assigned different tasks to do so that the Student Impact Club could make a difference in every area.

“The animals group in the Student Impact Club works with several organizations in Penang. It’s a super chill and fun time to bond and connect with each other and do service for our community,” said Zoe Grous (12) about the animal committee.

Mr. Beau and all the leaders in the Student Impact Club made it a priority to let the students take control of the plans for the individual groups. Everyone noticed growth in their independence, responsibility, and obedience as students learned to work together and do things on their own.

Singing To The Lord

Every Monday morning, the worship team arrived at school early with tunes in their heads, ready to worship the Lord with their music. Some with instruments in hand, others’ instruments already on stage, the students walked into the Harbor Hall where Uncle Keith Henderson was waiting to make sure the morning was a success. The high school worship team was a team consisting of mostly seniors who were excited to lead. There are 14 members, 10 of whom are seniors and the rest from the junior, sophomore, and freshmen classes.

Uncle Keith Henderson, taking over from Mr. McClary, who was last year’s team leader, led the band by choosing the songs and the instruments, making sure the band was together, and by being on stage singing and playing the guitar in every chapel.

Ever since school started up again after the first lockdown, chapel was held on Monday instead of the normal Friday. Although chapel was missed on Friday, most students enjoyed chapel at the beginning of the week.

This meant that the day for practice was the week before on Friday during X-Block. This was a time for the students to get a feel for what the songs would sound like and for coordination of the whole team. These practices normally ran until 4:50 or 5:00. Before performing in the chapel, the students assigned to that week of worship came in early on Monday morning to finalize any sound issues and to run the songs one last time. Although sleepy and a little out of it, the team managed to do their best and be ready to bless the high school with their talent.

To keep the chool engaged, the stage electrifies with energy. From the most recent joinee of the team to the student who has been on the longest, the worship team experience in joining and playing was different for each member. Jeremey Kim (12), who has played bass on the team since his junior year said, “I wanted to play in the worship team because I play bass at my church, and playing the bass was something I loved doing, so I thought that I could do

Standing in front of the high school, Kyu Hwi Han (10), Jasmine Hassan (10), and Esther Tse (12) alternate singing harmony and melody to lead the students in worship before the speaker comes to give a message. The screen at the back of the Harbor Hall allowed them to see the words.

Focusing on the music, Ji Ah Choi (12) plays chords on the electric piano to complement the melody. The electric piano allowed Choi to choose which sound best fit the music.

Strumming his guitar and singing into the microphone, Daniel Choi (12) energetically keeps the spirits high, both on and off the stage, as he introduces the high school to a new song called “There’s Another In the Fire.” Choi’s energy encouraged the audience to sing along and praise the Lord with spirits high.

THOUGHTS FROM THE PLAYERS

“I was nervous for my first time playing, but it was just really fun. The team is really relaxed, so that helped calm my nerves a bit.”

Mycah Winsor (12)

something I like and worship God.”

For some, the first time playing on stage could be quite daunting, looking out over the whole high school.

Uncle Keith made sure everyone on stage was heard and gave the members chances to sing or play by themselves. He even handed the week off to a senior and gave them a chance to lead the worship. Kyu Hwi Han (10), who had an opportunity multiple times to sing on her own said, “It was super nerve- wracking, but I was proud of myself in the end. I feel thankful that the team trusts me enough to do a solo.”

Daniel Choi (12), who leads the worship team when Uncle Keith does not, said, “I’ve always wanted to sing in the worship team and praise God through my gifts. With all the seniors from last year gone, I just knew that it was my time to step up and lead the team even though I had limited prior experience.”

Some mornings, the students were rewarded for their hard work by Mr. Ronzheimer, bringing them a breakfast of sugar donuts and curry puffs. Mr. Franchesci also blessed the students by being there before everyone else each morning, and making sure everything was working and in the right positions for the students to practice efficiently.

The high school was blessed by these talented players who brought their best every week to lead the school in worshiping the Lord. They worked hard and had fun together, singing praises with all their hearts.

“I like chapel on Monday because it starts my week off well. I feel refreshed and ready to take on the week.” Kalia Brewster(12).

X- Citing Activities

As the school year started, students joined various clubs and activities as their X-Blocks. These included Forensics, History Bee/Bowl, Tech Theater, and From Kids 4 Kids. There were also one-on-one options such as serving as a TA and peer tutoring younger students. Forensics gave students a chance to improve their public speaking skills and convey their ideas out loud within a given time.

People who liked history could join History Bee/Bowl. The host or teacher asked historyrelated questions, and students had to press on the buzzer to answer. “I joined it [History Bee/Bowl] because I enjoy history and you get to play around with the buzzer system,” said Yong-Yu Huang (11).

Other than acting in drama, the Tech Theater club enabled students to learn about the sound and lighting systems. They also learn to build drama sets and platforms needed. Isaac Beaman (9) said, “I joined the X-Block because Mr. [Terry] Franceschi teaches it, and he is my favorite teacher.”

Being a TA was a way to serve teachers as students could help with grading and organizing. It was a way to connect with different teachers. Peer tutoring also gave students opportunities to get to know younger kids in the school.

“I decided to do peer tutoring because I wanted to connect with the younger students,” Wen Khaw (11) said. “I was reminded of when I needed help with schoolwork but didn’t have the guts to ask my teacher.”

The From Kids 4 Kids club collaborated with World Vision to sponsor children from different

With a sparked idea, Jasmine Hassan (10) enthusiastically shares her idea on how the team can help sponsor children in FK4K. “All in all, despite any challenges we faced, FK4K forms a strong bond between our community and our sponsors,” said Hassan.

countries. The club planned ways to raise money for the three kids they were sponsoring: Loan from Vietnam, Sasindu from Sri Lanka, and Mostafa from Lebanon.

Jimin Park (12) said, “I first heard about the club from Jirawan [Tritham (12)], and when I heard about the different activities to help sponsor kids, it reminded me of a club I did at my old school. We did a similar thing, and this made me want to be part of the club.”

The team had planned ways to encourage people to donate money through bake sales and talking about it during chapel. Throughout the X-Block meetings, they faced challenges that they had to overcome. Zoe Grous (12) said, “We kind of had to improvise, but doing a bake sale worked out well.”

Because of new restrictions from the government, students had to pause on what they were doing in each of the X-Blocks. Dominic Cheang (10) said, “COVID-19 was and still is a big challenge, but we’ve found ways to work around that and continue helping the children we sponsor. Everything worked out in the end.”

Students had many options to stay involved in the community. Although plans didn’t always go as planned and restrictions were put in place for the activities, they still enjoyed their time together with each other when they could.

PARTICIPATION IN X BLOCKS

After arranging the music stands and chairs in Harbor Hall, Joshua Emmanuel (10) vacuums the carpet to make sure the place stays clean. Across the hall, other students in Tech Theater who were in the booth worked on sound and lighting.

Enthusiastically, Joel Kelley (12) explains the logistics of the student-led drama club. He had students who were interested do a short role-playing activity to get everyone excited.

Blazing The Trail

In preparation for what was, for some, the most terrifying and important day of the year, students from the junior and senior classes worked vigorously to create a speech that showed their enthusiasm and capability to lead their grade on the student leadership group called ExCom. The school typically held the election day at the end of the year before the students moved to the next grade, but this year, the elections were instead held in the second week of school because of the lockdown that had gone on through the end of the previous year.

Students came to school that day knowing that they would be giving a speech to their entire class looming over their heads. For some, it was a very daunting experience. To make sure they beat out their opponents, the students choosing to run had to make sure that their speech was unique and made them stand out from the crowd.

Juyoung Kim (11), who ran for Vice President, said, “To get my classmate’s attention, I decided to engage the class in my speech. I repeated that my childhood dream was to become the ‘junior class vice president’ and gestured to the class so that each time I said it, they would all say it with me. I also made a pamphlet indicating WE not ME to show that Excom is not just about me, but we have a class together as one.” She won over the crowd and earned the role.

On August 28, once the class had chosen all their leaders and they were comfortable in their positions, all the ExComs took a day off of school on Friday at the dorms for the Leadership Retreat. The dorm building hosted all the students and split them up into different groups throughout the day. With snacks and games fit in between sessions spent learning how to be effective leaders, the day ended with each grade’s ExCom gathering to discuss plans for the rest of the year.

Each week afterward, the junior and senior ExComs met on Tuesday during X-Block to discuss what had happened the previous week and plan for the

Standing in front of their fellow ExCom members, Jeremy Kim (12) and Enee Crosslin (12) present the poster their group created. At the Leadership Retreat in August, each team of ExCom members was instructed to create an uplifting slogan that they wanted to define their year in leadership.

Pouring coffee grounds into the machine, Juyoung Kim (11) makes sure that there is enough coffee for all the morning customers. Members of the Junior ExCom came to school early to open the store.

Waiting for the meeting to begin, Jimin Park (12) and Jia Yi Sim (12) discuss some of the issues that will be brought up. Students made sure to keep up with the class’ situation as well as electronically record the plans discussed in the meetings. As class secretary, Sim executed her note-taking responsibility throughout the meeting

QUOTES FROM THE EXCOM

“The uncertainty has been the biggest obstacle for this year, and we faced a lot of problems that were out of our control. I am hoping for much better things to be accomplished soon.”

“I felt really scared and wanted to hide in a corner since I’m not the kind of person who gives speeches or likes to present, but thankfully people thought my speech was okay.”

future.

It was important for the sponsors and ExCom communicate regularly and figure out what to do next with ever-changing plans that COVID-19 SOP restrictions brought to the school year.

Theriault (11) said, “Just because someone is in a leadership position, doesn’t always mean they know what they’re doing. Our meetings can be quite disjointed sometimes, and even our sponsors get confused. Everyone’s human.”

The students and sponsors worked together to make sure that the job was getting done despite everyone’s shortcomings. Meeting every week helped the ExCom to look at things from multiple angles and come to decisions as a group.

The juniors and seniors had a tough year with many obstacles and many changes. It was up to the ExComs of those classes to keep a smile on their faces, as they were the ones the class looked up to during the most challenging times. They tried their best to be the helping hand that pulled their class out of the sadness that could so easily penetrate.

The leaders knew the influence they had on their classmates’ spirits and worked hard to keep them high no matter what challenges their circumstances provided them with.

Overcoming the Rocky Road

“We were working on our class t-shirts, and we finished that already. Our current project now is planning a freshman-freshman lunch, but we don’t know we would still continue it due to CMCO,” said Kate Lee (9).

The freshmen and sophomore ExComs planned events before a lockdown happened in November. They adapted to the situation and still tried to work their way around it even though disappointment accompanied the move back to online learing.

In their meetings, the ExCom members worked to remember and utilize some of the new skills they learned in previous meetings. “We are having so much fun learning it together and really appreciating this opportunity to improve as leaders,” said Kate Lee (9).

Frederick Dinakaran (9) shared that “unanimously agreeing to do activities such as the freshmanfreshman lunch was challenging,” but the students grew each meeting to do better.

As they started online schooling, they also planned to follow Mr. Andrew Kearney and Mrs. Sara Kearney’s idea to meet up with a group of freshmen to check up on them, give them some motivation, and spend time together.

The sophomore ExCom faced the same problem as they had to follow the strict guidelines and SOPs when they planned events during their meetings. “We were forced to think outside the box as we couldn’t do normal class parties and such,” said Soo Wei Goh (10), the store manager.

However, the sophomore ExCom stayed positive with the change of plans. Finance manager Chris Jang (10) said, “Other than the external obstacles

Acknowledging that many freshmen needed ideas for their graduation service hours, Caleb Jun (9), Zi Jian Pong (9), and Kate Lee (9), along with the rest of the ExCom, think of service ideas that they could do during Spring Break to help those who need it. They decided to wash teachers’ cars on Monday, the last day of break.

Diligently taking notes, secretary Benjamin Wong (10) records the discussion about what and where to sell SophoStore products. They talked about an alternative solution for the limitations of not being able to sell at lunch.

like things restricted by COVID-19, most of our meetings went smoothly—mostly on planning ways to deal with the restrictions—because I think our ExCom this year works really well with each other. We easily overcame conflicts of ideas and each of us took care of our responsibilities.”

Instead of focusing on disappointments, they focused on how they could connect with the rest of the grade online. They came up with ideas like hosting Among Us and Netflix parties.

Nicole Khor (10), who was in charge of marketing/advertising, added, “We saw the juniors do the Among Us party already, but that doesn’t mean we can’t do it, as well.”

“However, the unpredictability of what could’ve and did happen kept most of our ideas either vague or not possible,” Chris Jang (10) said. “We as an ExCom had to brainstorm and although we couldn’t make promises, we discussed ways to engage with the class via suggestions like online games or activities.”

The freshmen and sophomore ExCom adapted and worked together to overcome the restrictions and challenges.

Soo Wei Goh (10) concluded, “We hope to at least provide some form of entertainment for our class during these hard times.”

WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT EXCOM?

As president David Kilgo (10) discusses the solutions on how to sell their products, Nicole Khor (10) video calls vice president Joycelyn Fung (10), who was in the STEP program. ExCom members made sure that everyone could participate in the discussion.

“What I’ve enjoyed about ExCom is that it has forced me to step out and do things I normally wouldn’t be comfortable doing.”

- DJ Yost (9)

“I like ExCom because it helps us accomplish and organize things that benefit our class. Everyone is so much fun to learn from.”

- Samantha Owen (9)

“What I like about ExCom is the ability to create change in our class and promote unity and connection with one another.” - -

To help brainstorm ways to encourage bonding in the dorms, Jimin Park (12) and Juyoung Kim (11) talk during the lunch break. Dorm Council members always tried to bring fun into the dorms, through activities such as Christmas parties and dinners together.

grown, in my experience in PAL,” said Jasmine Hassan (10).

PAL made numerous contributions to the high school and assisted with many decisions relating to computers in the cafeteria, dress code, and shortening lunch lines. In March, PAL helped create a policy to allow seniors to jump to the front of the lunch line to compensate for their lost off-campus lunch privilege, hoping to honor the seniors in that way.

The Dorm Council consisted of two people from each dorm, and each dorm student chosen had the responsibility to make decisions to make the dorms a pleasant and caring environment.

Sieon Park (12) said, “As a Dorm Council, we plan dorm activities that we can do to make life more exciting and fun for people. Especially during COVID, we are so limited to do things or go to places, so we are trying our best to make our stay in the dorms fun.”

Malaysia’s Movement Control Orders in response to COVID-19 confined dorm students to the dorms for weeks at a time. Through activities planned, the dorm students bonded together and enjoyed their life, even though away from friends and family.

Students from every grade came together to make a better environment and a closer community. Each individual who represented the different grades and dorms stepped up to the responsibility that came with being a leader and servant.

making an impact

Leadership training and experience were a foundation part of the high school experience for many students. The Principal’s Advisory League (PAL) and the Dorm Council provided leadership opportunities to students selected as representatives. Each individual selected enjoyed and grew through the responsibility and leadership that came with connecting adults with students and students with each other throughout the year.

Meeting once a week for lunch, two students from each grade discussed topics relevant in student’s lives. From the lunch options to activities planned, PAL represented the whole student body and brought issues or questions to Mr. Brian Brewster’s attention with the help of staff sponsor Mr. Beau Abdulla.

Leyla Lee (9) said of PAL, “It influences Dalat by having students to feel comfortable here and also makes things more convenient for students to have what they need.”

Not only did PAL create a bridge between students and adults, but it also created a bond between the representatives and a way for them to grow in communication and responsibility.

“When we succeed in changing Dalat for the better, it bonds PAL members and students and creates a really balanced relationship between the two worlds. Better communication for me has definitely

“One of the responsibilities of being a dorm representative is to plan events that help bring the community together. I find it a positive way to give back to my dorm family,” said Anya Kaloo (12), a Jaffray Dorm rep.

In the Harbor Hall conference room, Ji Hwan Kang (11) listens to other PAL members discuss the agenda for their meeting while also managing to eat his lunch.

music gives color to the air

Due to the pandemic, the music department announced that there would not be any live concert performances first semester. But students still get to perform what they have learned in class differently, by recording videos.

As of September, there was only one choir happening: the concert choir. This year’s choir is filled with talented people from different grades. However, since the students didn’t get a chance to bond by going on the trip, the class’s vibe is different compared to the previous years.

Moreover, when school started, many students seemed had given up on having a concert. Students learned various songs without the certainty of having a performance. However, one day, Ms. Goh surprised the students by announcing that there would be a concert happening by filming videos.

With the news, she also introduced two new songs to the students: “Truly Brave” and “Music Changes the World.” Then Ms. Goh added, “In times like this, we should sing from our heart and give hope to the people. In our lives’ darkest times,

music consoles us, gives us joy, and brings us back together. Music lives, no matter what.”

Although it did not go as planned, the concert still happened. Students in choir got an opportunity to make a music video of “Truly Brave” to make the music more exciting and directly deliver messages to the audiences. Some of the seniors also shared their experiences through a short interview.

It is hard to look on the bright side, but there is always a good part of the story when one looks closely with patience. As Amy Park (9) expressed, “I really like the fact that we still get to perform during this pandemic. However, it’s kind of disappointing that we don’t get to perform in front of many people. Still, on the other hand, if we make a music video, more people will get to see our performances (such as my parents, who are not living in Malaysia) with better quality and elegant performances.”

The choir hoped the concert would help make you appreciate your moments, bring back your memories, heal your pain, and share happiness. The filmed concert can be found on the Dalat YouTube channel for viewing at any time!

What students do on a teacher work day

For weeks, students of Dalat International High school division have been working diligently to fulfill their aspirations. Sadly, however, this does not leave much time for their favorite pastimes such as sports, hanging out with friends, and exercise. On Monday, 26 October, Mr. Brewster had blessed the students with a Dalat holiday. But little did the students know that this was not a holiday for everyone.

Early Monday morning, teachers rolled into school thrilled to go through teacher training. During teacher training day, many students finally found the time to take a break from university searching and school work to have fun and bond with friends. Students enjoyed their time by doing anything that was not related to school. Examples of these games that are commonly played in Dalat is Minecraft, Among Us and sports games. Students that do not spend their time gaming usually find time to make plans to be with friends.

As Gabe Kontsas (11) said, “I enjoyed playing

soccer on a muddy field although I struggled with the slippery ground. I also went to Let’s Meat with my friends, then invited my friends to my house to play video games.”

Dalat community is a community that actively practices giving back to others. From Kids For Kids is a club that raises money to aid other children around the world through school. The recent long weekend provides an opportunity for members to meet up and make plans on methods to raise money for the children they are sponsoring. A few ways how this club is raising money is through donations, no uniform days and bake sales. Sharisse Leong, who is a member of From Kids For Kids, shares what she did during teacher training day for the club.

Sharisse Leong (12) said, “I spent Monday baking treats to raise money for From Kids For Kids Club with my friends.”

Other activities that students indulged in was catching up on rest. Many children in the dorms enjoyed spending their Monday off by appreciating the possibility to sleep in and have their first meal of the day. How long could you sleep in for?

Leadership development class bonds at retreat

This past Friday, students taking Leadership Development were excused from classes to have a “retreat” in Ziemer Dorm.

In recent years, the class had spent the night on Penang Hill for the retreat, but this year’s trip was cancelled due to the MOE. Despite the cancellation, Mr. Ronzheimer, the school’s Spiritual Life Director, took the opportunity to help the class bond and to teach them about companionship.

The retreat started with a morning devotional at the beach and a breakfast of waffles and bacon made by some of the students’ moms. After breakfast, Mr. Ronzheimer led the class through team building activities.

During one such activity, students got to know each other through “speed dating.” Members of the class were paired up and given time to get to know each other on a deeper level before rotating partners.

After “speed dating”, the class took part

in a trust-fall. One-by-one, the students fell backwards off a high ledge as the other students caught them from below. The activity helped build trust within the class. The pinnacle of the activity was when Mr. Ronzheimer demonstrated his trust by doing the falling off the ledge without hesitation.

Along with team building activities, one of the most memorable parts of the day came when the students got the opportunity to from Daniel Choi. Daniel talked about how companionship had played a big role in his life. As Meredith Johnson said, “I loved when Daniel talked to us about companionship and about how we have the opportunity to help facilitate unity within our grade.”

The day in the dorm finished with free time for the students to talk and play games. After a few minutes, however, a “rap battle” broke out between Mycah Winsor and Zoe Seeveratnam. With John Kim and Yumin Kim providing the beat on the guitar and cajon, the class gathered around as Mycah and Zoe went back and forth rapping at each other. The “rap battle” provided a fun ending to a day of growth and bonding.

serving local furry friends

Graduation service hours have always been in the minds of high school students, but due to Covid, it has not been easy to find opportunities to serve. The high schoolers were ready to serve as an email was sent out concerning a service opportunity at the Cat Beach Sanctuary.

For the graduation hours to be approved, the project has to be something non-school sponsored. On Tuesday, October 6, Zoe Grous, a senior, sent out an email explaining that she had contacted the people working for the cat beach, stating that they needed volunteers to help out at the shelter. She sent out a signup form, and up to 32 kind-hearted high schoolers participated.

Grous said, “Through the Student Impact Club I have been able to reach out to different organizations in Penang, which has been very inspiring. I felt inspired to reach out to Cat Beach Sanctuary because often people overlook animals and see them as less important. Providing the high schoolers with a service opportunity seemed like a great way to get students involved

and give back to the community.”

On Saturday, October 17, freshmen to seniors made their way to the Cat Beach Sanctuary, located in Teluk Bahang. Once they entered the gates, the local cats greeted them with excitement, rubbing against their legs, meowing, and purring. The students fell in love with the furry friends instantly.The volunteers were then split up evenly into three groups. One group got to clean the cats, another had to clean below the main cat house, and the last group got to play with the cats and clean around the area.

The volunteers continued their work for two hours. It was an exceptionally hot day and there was no air conditioning, but nobody complained. Everyone worked hard and made sure that the cats were left clean and happy.

At four, the students were picked up by their parents, and some of them left with a grab, paying about 4 to 6 ringgit per person for the ride back. The sweat and hard work were worth it, knowing that they had done something good for the community and provided a better environment for the Cat Beach Sanctuary cats.

-Sharisse Leong

Congratulations, Zoe on your graduation. From the moment you were born, you have been such a joy and delight to your family and all who know you.

We are tremendously proud of the loving, vivacious, adventurous, and compassionate young woman you have become. Continue to shine bright for His glory and remember you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you (Philippians 4:13).

Joshua 1:9 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

The Happiness of GIving

The hallways of the Dalat high school buildings lit up colorfully as the students moved from one room to the next, trying to get to their next classes.

On the 23rd of September, students donated RM 10 each to the Student Impact Club’s charity fundraiser in order to participate in No Uniform Day. The students received a ribbon that they could pin to their clothes after they made their donation. Students of all grades took this opportunity to express themselves. The middle school students dressed up in animal costumes such as lions and unicorns, while some of the high schoolers wore matching outfits.

Students were to wear one of the corresponding colors, orange, green, white, blue, or pink. These colors all symbolized things that the students could support. If students supported the homeless, they could wear the color white. The color orange meant that the students supported orphans, green meant supporting animals, blue meant supporting the refugees, and pink meant supporting breast cancer victims.

Teachers enjoyed watching their students come to class in clothes other than their uniforms. “My highlight was seeing how much fun everyone had expressing themselves. Everyone let out their inner fashion beast. This year’s senior guys reminded me of elementary kids. They had zero self-control in class and couldn’t focus at all,” said Mr. Kirk Ronzheimer. The senior boys decided to come in matching outfits—a pink shirt, blazer, swim shorts, ties, and clashing hats along with accessories. Wherever they went, they were the center of attention.

“Mycah [Winsor (12)] and I started it, and while we were talking about it during lunch, the other boys jumped in,” said Jeremy Kim (12). “So we made a group chat with all the guys, and everyone started throwing in ideas,” he added.

The charity fundraiser run by the Student Impact Club ended successfully, earning more than RM 10,400. Although simple, this event gave an opportunity for the students to give to the needy while being able to have fun at the same time.

STEP Students Return

Seven STEP students, who stayed an additional month in Korea due to the MCO extension, returned to school on September 14.

The journey of the students began on the evening of August 29 at the Incheon Airport; the group involved OnYou Kim (12), Sieon Park (12), Grace Bae (11), Haeon Park (11), Sharon Kang (10), Hajin Kim (7), and Joseph Yim (7). The plane ride took approximately six hours, and their arrival at the KL Airport signaled their five hours of immigration. Downloading and signing into an app was the first step. The second step involved getting numerous documents verified and the COVID test done in the nose and mouth. The final step was the passport check, which took the longest with nearly four hours of waiting.

After claiming their luggage, the students were led outside where Uncle Brian Weidemann, one of the dorm representatives, was waiting to drive them to Penang. While wearing enormous protective suits, the students were taken to Penang in a van, arriving at the Paradise Hotel at five in the morning.

The arrival at the hotel prompted the students’ two-week quarantine. The inconsistent internet connection was one of their major problems faced in the hotel; however, the dorm parents bought them hotspots, which assisted them in completing homework. Also, many people supported them by supplying them with snacks.

Before the last day of the quarantine, the students had their last COVID test at the hotel. Thankfully, everyone tested negative, which allowed them to return to the dorms on September 13. Their return to school on September 14th marked their transition from online schooling to face to face schooling. Fortunately, everyone adjusted well into school.

Grace Bae (11) commented, “Coming back to school made me realize the importance of the time together with friends and the community.”

The return of the seven STEP students was an arduous journey that required patience and endurance. However, with many others’ considerate help, they could return safely and adjust well back into school.

나의 사랑하는 첫째 왕자 Sean에게~

가족이란 울타리에서 독립하여 홀로서기에 첫 발을

내딪는 너가 얼마나 자랑스러운지 아니?

엄마와 아빠는 너무 기뻐서 그 즐거움을 감출 수가 없구나

정윤아~

하나님의 지혜 안에서 많은 꿈을 꾸며 그 비전을

향해 한 걸음, 한 걸음 걸어가길 바래

정윤이를 향한 하나님의 뜻은 너의 생각보다 크고, 정윤이를 향한 계획도 너의 지혜로 측량하지 못할거야

하지만 너를 가장 좋은 길로, 가장 완전한 길로

날마다 이끌어 주실 하나님을 의지해

2003.1.11 너를 처음 만난 그 날의 기쁨과 눈물은 절대 잊지 못할거야

오늘도 엄마 아빠에게 큰 즐거움이 되어준 정윤이와 그

정윤이를 선물로 주신 그 은혜 가득한 그날을 떠올려본다.

사랑한다. 첫째 왕자 Sean!

사랑한다. 너의 삶의 시작을!

사랑한다. 너의 오늘을!

2021년 6월 2일 엄마& 아빠가
