Students and staff at Harbor Day School in Newport Beach, California, took the podium to talk in glowing terms about how Gianna had always been a leader and a joy to be around.
take the podium
When someone "takes the podium", it means he/she gets up in front of an audience to speak. The podium is the small structure they are standing behind. Similarly, you can say "he took the stage" (if there is a stage!) 此处take the podium含义为上台讲话/演讲，类似于take the stage，上台表演，登台表演（to go onto the stage and start to perform）。

· glowing表示“热烈赞扬的；热情洋溢的”，英文解释为“praising with enthusiasm”举个🌰：

"My Gigi. I love you! I miss you," Gianna's mother, Vanessa Bryant, wrote in one of her posts about the ceremony. "You’ve taught us all that no act of kindness is ever too small."
One of the school’s basketball coaches, Joshua Parks, said Gianna was one of the fiercest competitors he’d ever seen.
"She definitely represented the 'Mamba Mentality' every time she stepped on the floor," Parks said.
Bryant, who was 13, had dreamed of carrying on her father’s legacy and one day playing in the WNBA.
"She never came to school and bragged about anything," her former adviser and music teacher, Yunga Webb, said in her speech. "She was one of the most humble people I’ve ever known."

Webb told a story about how the eighth-grade class is coping with the loss. She explained they still take roll call every day. "We (still) call her name. And when we call her name, I hear 40-plus kids say, 'Here,'" Webb said. "In honor of her. Because she’s always with us."
