4 | December 27, 2018 | The lake forest leader NEWS LakeForestLeader.com <strong>LF</strong>CDS ends year on a high note with holiday assembly Alyssa Groh, Editor Lake Forest Country Day School was packed with family members of students roaming the halls on the last day of school before winter break, Friday, Dec. 21. Every year on the last day of school before winter break, <strong>LF</strong>CDS opens its doors for family visiting day. Families come into the school and follow children around to each classroom to hear about what they are learning in class and things they have worked on all year. The day ends in an allschool holiday assembly where students sing and play holiday music. “I loved seeing our students teach the adults what they have been learning all year,” said Joy Hurd, head of school, at the opening of the assembly. Hurd highlighted some things students completed this year such as success in LEGO robotics tournament and the progression of band students. He also spoke about the hustle and bustle of the holiday season and listed a variety of things that keep us busy this time of year such as shopping, holiday parties, semester-end projects, tests and more. “What is amusing is all of these things that cause us stress, generally speaking, have one theme,” Hurd said. “They are things we want to do for other people and I think that’s stressful because we hold ourselves to a higher standard when we are doing things for other people. I also think one of the reasons it is so many peoples favorite time of the year is because doing things for other people makes us happy. But, he also reminded the audience to take a break and reflect as well. “This is also the time of year when during the next couple of weeks the world tends to stop and catch its breath and allows us to do the same,” he said. Before taking the much anticipated break, Hurd turned it over to the students to perform musical numbers. The bands performed a mixture of Christmas and Hanukkah songs for the audience to sing along to. Then the chorus filled the room with their voices by signing a variety of Christmas and Hanukkah songs as well. Both and the band and chorus impressed family members so much that they both got a standing ovation from the crowd. To cap off the assembly, faculty, staff and alumni all came together in the front of the room to sing “Let There Be Peace on Earth.” RIGHT: Joy Hurd, head of school, gives opening remarks at the all-school holiday assembly Friday, Dec. 21 at Lake Forest Country Day School.
