Congratulating The Class Of 2021: Sydney Day Of Lutheran High School Westland

PLYMOUTH-CANTON, MI — The high school seniors of 2021 have had an experience like no other in a century -- a year upended by a pandemic and by lockdowns that kept them from enjoying many of the activities that previous seniors have taken for granted.

Patch hopes to help make it up to those seniors by giving them a special sendoff. We asked parents and other family members pay tribute to this year’s grads using a special submission form so we can publish those tributes one by one.

Lutheran High School Westland student Sydney Day will graduate this year. Read what her loved ones had to say.

Plans after graduation: Sydney will attend Wayne State University in the fall majoring in social work.

Accomplishments: Sydney participated in four years of volleyball, basketball (serving as captain this year) and track. She served as a devotion group leader for two years. She also served on student council for four years including Student Council President this year. Sydney is a member of the National Honor Society and also received High Honors Cords for graduating with a cumulative GPA of 4.0 or higher. She is the recipient of the Wayne State University Gold Academic Scholarship and the Detroit Leadership Award Scholarship.

Special message: Sydney, we couldn’t be more proud of all you accomplished in your four years of high school. Your strong work ethic and organizational skills will set you up for great success in college and beyond, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for you!
