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.
