 "Resource: Let Us Remember - Thanksgiving")
The 26th of November is Thanksgiving in the United States - a holiday which, in it's best and most meaningful form, encourages and inspires reflection and a feeling of gratitude.

 "Hong Kong Family Bulletin")
The new academic year has started with half-day schooling and no extra-curricular activities. It is better than zooming.
