Note: A very good morning to all of you! It is surely a very exciting day as we have the concert at 3:00 PM on Zoom today! Please make sure you wear a white top and blue jeans for it. It is highly recommended to have two sticks of any kind (chop sticks/pencils/cardboard rolls) by your side for the performing arts song. Please note that there will be no morning greeting session today.
