Hello out there In Landmark Land!!! We are excited about playing
Landmark with you. We want to tell you a little about ourselves.
M.S. #2 is a double class of 7th graders in the Middle School of
Hong Kong International School. We are a group of 50 kids from the
homerooms of Mr. Fischer and Mr. Lane. Mrl Fischer teaches Science, Math
and REligion while Mr. Lane teaches Language Arts, Math and Social Studies.
We have a very busy schedule and are sometimes stressed out from
homework and many other Middle School activities that we are involved
with, but we still look forward to playing Landmark with you. Good luck
to you!! Next week, most people have a week's holiday because of the
Chinese New Year (it will be the Year of the Tiger), so we will have off
from school from Saturday, Jan. 24 to Sunday, Feb. 1, but feel that we
will not fall behind in the Landmark timetable of sending out clues and
questions and answers to you. Our Landmark is a toughy! Here is some
official information about our school.
