Mme Emily Cheung's Daily Agenda

March 19, 2020 Dear Parents and Students, I just wanted to reach out and let you know that I am thinking about every single one of you. As I am going through your child's work and photos for the yearbook, I am missing their smiles, laughter and our everyday interactions. I hope that everyone is doing well with the sudden change of routine and able to find some joy in the extra quality time with your families. I will check-in with you again when more information becomes available but in the meantime, here are some suggestions: Students really enjoyed making a Rube Goldberg machine.
